Ask a few business leaders what an Information System audit is, and you will get very different answers. Some think it is the same as a hacking test. Others picture a long checklist that the IT team dreads. Both are partly right, and both miss the point.

The DPDP Act became law in 2023, and the government notified the detailed Rules in November 2025. The rollout is staggered. The provisions that set up the Data Protection Board took effect straight away, while the core obligations for businesses come into force after an 18-month transition, which ends on 13 May 2027.
