DPDP Gap Assessment: How to Evaluate Compliance Readiness
A DPDP gap assessment evaluates your organization's readiness under the Act.
What Is a DPDP Gap Assessment?
A gap assessment systematically evaluates your organisation's current compliance posture against the requirements of the DPDP Act 2023. It identifies where controls are missing, weak, or undocumented — and produces a prioritised remediation plan.
Key Assessment Areas
- Processing documentation and ROPA completeness
- Consent and notice mechanisms
- Impact assessment processes (PIA/DPIA)
- Retention and deletion governance
- Vendor and processor management
- Incident response readiness
- Data subject rights handling
From Gap to Remediation
The value of a gap assessment is in what comes after: a structured remediation programme with owners, deadlines, and evidence milestones. Each gap should map to a specific control and the evidence needed to close it.
