A plain-language guide to what a DPDP Readiness Assessment involves, what you receive, what it costs, and what questions to ask any firm you shortlist.
For a 100–500 person company, a focused DPDP Readiness Assessment typically takes 2–3 weeks: one week for data collection (questionnaires, document review, stakeholder interviews), one week for analysis and gap mapping, and 3–5 days for report preparation. Larger organisations or those with complex vendor ecosystems may take 4–6 weeks.
The founder involvement is about 4–6 hours over the 2–3 week period: an initial kickoff call (1 hour), stakeholder interviews (1–2 hours), and a findings presentation (1 hour). Everything else is handled by the consulting team.
An assessment is diagnostic — it maps your current state against DPDP requirements and produces a gap analysis and action plan. An audit is attestation — it verifies that controls are in place and operating effectively, and produces a formal opinion for external stakeholders or regulators. Most companies need an assessment first; a formal audit makes sense after implementation is complete.
