Full Service Description

The Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, 2023 establishes mandatory requirements for organizations that process personal data of individuals in India. Organizations acting as Data Fiduciaries and Data Processors must implement appropriate governance, security controls, and accountability mechanisms to ensure lawful and secure processing of personal data.

Nipto Coins LLP offers independent DPDP Act Internal Audit services through the Make Audit Easy platform to help organizations assess their compliance status and privacy risk exposure.

Our internal audit follows a structured, risk-based approach, evaluating organizational policies, technical safeguards, operational practices, and third-party arrangements across the personal data lifecycle. The audit focuses on identifying compliance gaps, assessing control effectiveness, and providing practical recommendations aligned with DPDP Act requirements.

The engagement delivers clear audit findings and a prioritized action plan, enabling management to strengthen data protection practices, reduce regulatory risk, and demonstrate compliance readiness
