Gap Assessment
A Gap Assessment smartly compares an organization’s current data protection and privacy practices against regulatory requirements and best practices. The purpose is to identify control weaknesses, process inefficiencies, and non-compliance risks.
Typically, this involves reviewing policies, technical safeguards, and organizational culture against elevates such as EU-GDPR, India’s DPDPA, US' CCPA/CPRA, or sectoral guidelines. Findings are prioritized.
Data Protection Impact Assessment
A DPIA is a proven approach for analyzing how personal data is collected, used, shared, and stored within a project or system, assessing its impact on individuals’ rights and freedoms. It is mandatory under laws such as GDPR for Data Controllers and strongly recommended under India’s DPDPA for high-risk processing by a Significant Data Fiduciary.
The process involves data flow mapping, identifying risks and formulating custom risk remediation strategies.
Privacy Maturity Assessment
A Privacy Maturity Assessment elevates an organization’s data protection program against a defined maturity model across people, processes, and technology. It evaluates governance structures, awareness, accountability, vendor management, breach readiness, and technology adoption.
Scores are typically mapped from ad-hoc/initial to optimized maturity levels. The assessment helps leadership understand current state, target state, and the required investment in.
Data Privacy Program
A Data Privacy Program builds the foundation for managing personal data responsibly and in compliance with regulations such as GDPR, India’s DPDP Act, and global privacy frameworks. It defines policies, processes, and controls for data collection, usage, storage, and sharing, ensuring principles like purpose limitation, data minimization, and individual rights are upheld.
The program includes governance structures, consent and rights management, vendor oversight, and regular risk assessments.
Independent Data Audit
An Independent Data Audit is an independent review of how an organization collects, processes, shares, and safeguards personal data. It verifies compliance with privacy laws, internal policies, and contractual obligations.
The audit includes examining policies, technical safeguards, employee practices, and vendor management controls. Results highlight non-compliance, operational risks, and potential reputational harm.
