Anti‑Money Laundering (AML) & KYC Advisory
Know Your Compliance Gaps Before Your Regulator Finds Them for You.
Struggling to find attorneys who truly understand the intersection of technology and law — and who can conduct a rigorous, product-level compliance audit that tells you exactly where your tech product stands against every applicable regulatory standard? Our expert tech-law team will audit your product from end to end and give you a clear, actionable compliance roadmap before a regulator does it for you.
Know your gaps. Fix them first. Deploy with confidence.
The regulatory landscape for technology products has never been more complex — or more consequential. AI systems, data-driven products, SaaS platforms, and consumer-facing applications are now subject to an expanding and rapidly evolving web of legal obligations — covering data privacy, algorithmic accountability, cybersecurity, software licensing, and sector-specific product standards. A compliance failure in any one of these areas can result in regulatory investigation, significant financial penalties, forced product modifications, and reputational damage. Verum Legal conducts deep, product-level tech-law compliance audits — reviewing your AI systems, data practices, cybersecurity posture, and software licensing arrangements against every applicable regulatory standard — and delivering a clear, prioritised, and actionable compliance report that tells you exactly what needs to be fixed and how.
This includes:
- Verum Legal’s Proven Expertise
- End-to-End Product Compliance Auditing
- Prompt & Cost-Efficient Audit Execution
- Best-Suited Tailored Audit Scope & Methodology
- Deep Tech-Law & Regulatory Understanding
- Multi-Jurisdiction Compliance Coverage
Verum Legal
A compliance gap discovered in an audit costs a fraction of what a regulatory investigation costs after the fact. Contact us today for a consultation, and let Verum Legal audit your tech product with the rigour and regulatory intelligence it demands.
Build Products That Are Legally Sound From the Inside Out.
In the technology sector, legal compliance is not a post-launch afterthought — it is a product design imperative. The most innovative tech products in the world are worthless if they cannot be deployed lawfully, and the most successful tech companies are those that embed legal compliance into their product development process from the ground up rather than scrambling to retrofit it after a regulatory crisis. At Verum Legal, we conduct rigorous, commercially intelligent tech-law compliance audits that go beyond surface-level policy reviews to examine the actual technical and operational architecture of your product — identifying every compliance gap, quantifying every regulatory risk, and providing a clear and prioritised remediation roadmap that your product, legal, and engineering teams can act on immediately.
AUDIT YOUR PRODUCT
WHAT TECH COMPLIANCE AUDIT SERVICES CAN WE HELP YOU WITH?
Our Tech Compliance Audit team combines deep knowledge of technology law with genuine understanding of how technology products are built and operated — enabling us to conduct audits that are legally rigorous, technically informed, and directly connected to the real-world architecture of your product. We conduct comprehensive compliance audits across the following areas:
AI & Algorithm Compliance
AI systems — including recommendation engines, automated decision-making tools, generative AI applications, and predictive analytics platforms — are subject to a rapidly expanding regulatory framework. We audit AI systems across every applicable legal dimension — examining training data practices, automated decision-making transparency, explainability and accountability frameworks, bias and human oversight obligations, sector-specific requirements for AI in financial services and healthcare, and AI governance documentation including impact assessments and model cards — delivering a comprehensive gap analysis and remediation plan that positions your AI product for regulatory confidence now and as the legislative landscape evolves.
Data Privacy & DPDP Act Compliance
India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 imposes comprehensive obligations on virtually every technology product — with penalties of up to INR 250 crore per violation. We conduct comprehensive DPDP compliance audits examining every data collection point, processing activity, consent mechanism, third-party data sharing arrangement, and data security measure against the full requirements of the Act — and deliver a detailed gap report with a clear and prioritised remediation roadmap covering cross-border transfer obligations, significant data fiduciary requirements, and obligations specific to products serving children or processing sensitive personal data.
Cybersecurity & IT Act Compliance
The IT Act, 2000 and associated rules — including the SPDI Rules, 2011 and CERT-In Directions, 2022 — impose specific cybersecurity and incident reporting obligations with significant legal consequences. We audit your product’s cybersecurity posture and incident response framework against every applicable legal standard — examining data security practices, access controls, encryption standards, vulnerability management, breach detection and notification procedures, CERT-In reporting timeline compliance, and sector-specific cybersecurity requirements for fintech, insurtech, and capital market platforms.Software Licensing Audits
Software licensing non-compliance is one of the most frequently overlooked and commercially consequential legal risks in technology companies. We conduct comprehensive software licensing audits — examining your use of proprietary software, open-source components, third-party APIs, and cloud services against every applicable licence agreement, identifying unlicensed use, licence scope violations, open-source obligation breaches across GPL, LGPL, MIT, and Apache licences, and IP ownership risks in your software bill of materials that could affect your ability to commercialise or distribute your product.Product Regulatory Adherence
Technology products deployed in regulated sectors face a further layer of product-specific regulatory requirements beyond horizontal compliance frameworks. We audit tech products for compliance with RBI payment aggregator and gateway guidelines, SEBI’s framework for investment technology platforms, IRDAI guidelines for digital insurance products, MeitY regulations for intermediaries and digital platforms, and consumer protection and advertising standards applicable to e-commerce and consumer-facing technology products — delivering a comprehensive and prioritised remediation roadmap for full compliance.

Your Questions Answered
FAQs on Tech Compliance Audits
Looking to know more about Tech Compliance Audits for your dispute? Browse our FAQs:
If your product collects or processes personal data, uses AI or automated decision-making, incorporates open-source components, processes payments, or operates in a regulated sector, your compliance obligations are significant. The question is not whether obligations exist — they almost certainly do — but whether they are currently being met and what the gap looks like. A compliance audit answers that question with the precision and regulatory specificity needed to act on it.
The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 imposes comprehensive obligations on every entity processing personal data of individuals in India — regardless of where the entity is located. Key obligations include obtaining valid consent, limiting data collection to stated purposes, maintaining security safeguards, enabling data principal rights, and notifying the Data Protection Board of breaches. Penalties reach up to INR 250 crore per violation. A DPDP audit maps every data processing activity against these obligations and identifies every gap requiring remediation.
The CERT-In Directions, 2022 require specified organisations — including cloud service providers, data centres, and any organisation experiencing a cybersecurity incident — to report incidents within six hours of detection, maintain ICT system logs for 180 days, and synchronise system clocks with NTP servers. Whether and how these obligations apply to your specific product depends on the nature of your technology infrastructure — which is one of the key questions our cybersecurity compliance audit answers.
The most frequently missed obligations involve copyleft licences — particularly the GPL — which require that any software incorporating GPL-licensed components be distributed under the same terms, including with access to source code. For companies that have incorporated GPL components into proprietary products without understanding this obligation, the consequences can include forced open-sourcing of proprietary code. Other commonly missed obligations include attribution requirements under MIT and Apache licences and restrictions on commercial use under non-standard licences.
At minimum, a comprehensive audit should be conducted annually — and more frequently where the product undergoes significant architectural changes, enters new markets, or the regulatory landscape changes materially. In India, the regulatory environment is currently evolving rapidly across DPDP Rules, AI governance frameworks, and sector-specific regulations — making annual reviews a practical necessity. We also recommend targeted reviews before significant fundraising rounds, M&A transactions, and new product feature launches involving new data processing or AI functionality.
