Protect Your Business Before the Regulator Does

PROTECT YOUR PRIVACY
What product & process audit services can we help you with?
Our Data Privacy team understands technology, product architecture, and the real compliance obligations businesses face. Stay ahead of regulatory risk with our comprehensive audit services, such as:
Product Architecture & Data Flow Review
Analyse how personal data flows through your digital product — from collection to storage, processing, and deletion — mapping every data touchpoint against applicable privacy obligations under the DPDP Act and GDPR. We identify where data is collected, who accesses it, how it is shared, and whether the legal basis for each activity is documented and defensible.
Privacy Risk Assessment
Systematically identify and rate privacy risks in your current product and processes — prioritised by regulatory severity and business impact. Our structured risk assessment methodology gives you a clear, ranked view of your exposure, from critical gaps requiring immediate remediation to lower-priority improvements.
Process Gap Analysis
Compare your existing data handling procedures against the specific requirements of the DPDP Act 2023, GDPR, and other applicable frameworks to identify precisely what needs to change — and why. We produce a detailed gap analysis report mapping each identified gap to the relevant legal provision.
Remediation Roadmap
Receive a structured, actionable plan to close every compliance gap identified — complete with timelines, responsible parties, implementation guidance, and priority rankings. Our remediation roadmaps are designed to be handed directly to your technical and operational teams.
Regulatory Readiness Assessment
Evaluate your preparedness for a regulatory examination or audit — identifying exactly what an investigator would find and what needs to be fixed before they do. We simulate the regulatory review process to give you confidence in your compliance posture.
CREATING COMPLIANCE VALUE
What differentiates us from other law firms?
Holistic Approach
We don't just audit a single product feature or an isolated policy — we examine the full data lifecycle across your product architecture and internal processes. You get a complete, integrated picture of your privacy posture, not a fragmented checklist.
Cost-Effective and Transparent Services
Clear, fixed-scope audit packages with no hidden fees. We scale our audit methodology to your business — whether you are an early-stage startup running a single product or an enterprise managing multiple data-intensive platforms.
Client-Centric Strategies
Every audit is tailored to your specific product, industry, and regulatory environment — not applied from a generic template. You receive a report that your legal, technical, and operational teams can understand and act on immediately.

Some FAQs about Product & Process Audits!
Looking to know more about privacy audits for your product or business? Browse our FAQs:
A product and process audit is a structured legal and compliance review of how your digital product and internal business processes collect, use, store, share, and delete personal data. It assesses your current practices against applicable privacy laws — including the DPDP Act 2023, GDPR, and sector-specific regulations — and identifies gaps, risks, and remediation priorities
A compliance audit typically reviews your policies and documentation against a regulatory framework. A product and process audit goes deeper — examining your actual product architecture, data flows, system configurations, and operational procedures to assess whether your real-world practices match your documented policies. It identifies implementation gaps that a policy review would miss.
The timeline depends on the complexity of your product and the number of processes in scope. A focused audit of a single product typically takes two to four weeks. A comprehensive audit across multiple products and business functions may take six to eight weeks. We provide a clear timeline and workplan before commencing.
You receive a structured audit report covering: (i) a data flow map of your product and processes; (ii) a prioritised gap analysis mapped to specific legal provisions; (iii) a risk-rated findings register; and (iv) a remediation roadmap with timelines and responsible parties. All deliverables are designed to be actionable by your legal, technical, and operational teams
Our product and process audits cover all applicable privacy frameworks relevant to your business — including India’s DPDP Act 2023, the EU’s GDPR, the IT Act 2000 and its rules, and any sector-specific requirements such as RBI data localisation guidelines for fintechs or IRDAI requirements for insurers. We scope the regulatory framework at the outset based on your business model and markets.
