Compliance & Audits

Compliance readiness translates legal, contractual and assurance requirements into scoped controls and operating evidence. Aadit Technologies supports management-system certification preparation, independent SOC 2 examination readiness, payment security and privacy programmes; each has a different outcome and review process.

DPDP Act Compliance

DPDP readiness concerns India's personal-data protection framework and the obligations applicable to the organisation's activities. Map data flows, processing purposes, notices, supplier relationships and responsibility for operational decisions. Check the current legal requirements and commencement of relevant provisions with qualified advisers rather than assuming every duty applies on the same date. Security controls can support data protection, but privacy work also needs governance and processes for handling relevant requests and incidents. Define a practical scope and keep the programme under review as systems, contracts and applicable rules change.

ISO 27001 Certification & Consulting

ISO 27001 work establishes and improves a defined information security management system. Begin with organisational context, scope, risk assessment and control ownership, then build records showing that relevant processes operate in practice. Policies alone are not sufficient preparation for an independent audit. Readiness consulting and remediation support are distinct from the certification body's audit and certification decision. Plan evidence, internal review and management oversight alongside technical controls. The service page explains scope and cost factors so that teams can prepare a programme appropriate to their customer obligations without assuming a fixed price or guaranteed certification.

ISO 42001 Certification

ISO 42001 addresses an artificial intelligence management system within a defined scope. Organisations using, developing or supplying AI should first understand their role, affected processes and applicable obligations. Management-system work connects governance, risk decisions and operational responsibilities rather than treating AI assurance as a single model test. Document relevant systems, oversight and evidence, and identify who approves changes. Independent certification remains separate from readiness assistance. Use the service to explore the framework and establish which activities actually belong in your programme before choosing audit timing or making claims about organisational certification.

ISO 9001 Certification

ISO 9001 concerns a quality management system and the processes used to deliver products or services consistently. Scope the organisation's activities, customer requirements and process responsibilities before preparing documentation. Define how quality objectives, feedback, corrective action and management review operate in everyday work. Readiness assistance may help teams assess gaps and organise evidence, while an independent certification body makes the certification decision. Avoid reducing the programme to a collection of templates. A useful management system should connect records to actual delivery processes and be maintained as services, teams and customer expectations change.

GDPR Compliance Solutions

GDPR readiness starts with applicability, processing purposes and the organisation's controller or processor roles. Map personal-data flows and assess lawful bases, transparency, rights handling, retention and relevant supplier arrangements. Technical security supports privacy but does not replace accountable decisions about processing. An Indian location does not automatically rule GDPR applicability in or out. Use appropriate legal advice for interpretation and cross-border obligations. The service can help organise a practical readiness programme; it should not be mistaken for a universal GDPR certificate or a guarantee that every business activity is compliant.

PCI DSS Compliance

PCI DSS addresses security requirements for environments relevant to payment card account data. Map the payment journey and identify systems that store, process or transmit data, or can affect the security of that environment. Outsourcing part of payment processing does not automatically remove every responsibility. Establish the applicable validation method with the relevant payment stakeholders and assess actual eligibility rather than selecting a familiar questionnaire by default. Readiness work includes scoping, gap assessment and remediation. Keep operational evidence current and revisit scope when checkout integrations, infrastructure or payment providers change.

HIPAA Compliance Solutions

HIPAA readiness requires a careful assessment of covered-entity or business-associate roles and relevant protected health information. An Indian supplier supporting a US healthcare service may have obligations depending on its activities and contracts; the industry label alone does not determine applicability. Review information flows, safeguards, risk analysis, supplier arrangements and incident procedures with appropriate specialists. Readiness assistance supports operational improvement, not an official HHS-issued organisational certificate. Define which data and systems are in scope and maintain evidence of the relevant controls rather than relying on a generic healthcare policy pack.

SOC 2 Readiness & Audit Support

SOC 2 readiness prepares a service organisation for an independent CPA controls examination. It is not a certification or a Security Operations Centre service. Determine the report boundary, applicable Trust Services Criteria and the customer need for Type I or Type II assurance. Assign owners for controls, remediate gaps and retain evidence of actual operation. A platform or consultant cannot promise the auditor's opinion. The service page includes preparation and provider-selection guidance and explains how readiness, independent examination and continuing control operation contribute to the overall engagement.

Buyer guidance

How to plan compliance readiness

Compliance work is strongest when it is treated as an operating discipline rather than a document-only exercise for an upcoming audit.

  1. Step 1: Confirm the framework, customer obligation, or regulatory requirement that applies to your organisation and scope.

  2. Step 2: Establish ownership for policies, controls, evidence, and remediation before collecting documentation.

  3. Step 3: Use a gap assessment to sequence practical changes and prepare for independent audit or customer review.

How we work: requirements, controls and evidence

Start with the requirement that is driving the programme. It may be a customer contract, an independent report request, a certification objective or a legal obligation. Those outcomes are not interchangeable. Define the relevant entity, service, systems and data, and use qualified legal or audit specialists for decisions that require their authority. The scope should explain what is covered and what remains outside the engagement.

Assess gaps against that boundary and assign control owners. Distinguish a missing document from a process that does not operate or a technical weakness that needs remediation. Policies, access controls, supplier procedures and incident processes need records of real activity. Schedule work with teams that can make the changes, and agree how evidence will be collected securely. Avoid promises of a guaranteed audit result or a fixed timetable before maturity and scope are assessed.

Prepare for the appropriate independent review and continue operating the controls afterward. Consulting supports readiness; certification bodies and CPA firms make their own audit decisions. A privacy programme may not involve a certification at all. Use internal reviews, management oversight and change tracking to keep evidence aligned with the live organisation. When two programmes overlap, reuse relevant records while preserving the separate scope and requirements of each.

Who we work with

A startup may be deciding whether a customer needs SOC 2, ISO 27001 or a focused security questionnaire response. Healthcare and financial-services teams need to distinguish their actual legal and contractual duties from broad sector labels. E-commerce and fintech teams may need payment-security and privacy programmes with different boundaries. These industry guides help establish context for the readiness assessment. The appropriate programme is determined by the organisation's services, data and customers, not by a generic promise of certification.

Common Questions

Which compliance framework should we pursue first?
The right starting point depends on your customers, data, services, and contractual obligations. A scoped readiness review can clarify the most relevant framework.
Is certification only about policies and documents?
No. Auditors and customers also look for evidence that relevant controls are operating in practice, including ownership, records, and repeatable processes.
What is the DPDP Act?
The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 is India's law governing the processing of digital personal data. It establishes rights for individuals and obligations for organisations that determine why and how personal data is processed.
Who needs to consider DPDP Act compliance?
Organisations processing digital personal data in India, or processing it in connection with offering goods or services to individuals in India, should assess how the Act applies to their operations and current guidance.
What is a Data Fiduciary?
A Data Fiduciary is the person who determines the purpose and means of processing personal data. A Data Processor processes personal data on behalf of a Data Fiduciary.
How is the DPDP Act different from GDPR?
Both laws address personal-data governance, but they have different terminology, legal bases, rights models, regulatory structures, and implementation details. Organisations working across jurisdictions need a mapped programme rather than assuming one framework automatically satisfies the other.
