AI readiness audit for Indian businesses, including shadow AI
Find out which AI tools your staff already use, where client data goes, and what to fix before DPDP enforcement.
Your team is already using AI. The question is how.
Shadow AI means tools used without the company knowing: personal ChatGPT accounts, browser extensions, free transcription apps. Each one can send client data outside your control.
Most people we speak to already pay for at least one AI tool, often on a personal card. Few have business accounts, privacy settings or a written policy, and India's DPDP data-protection rules become fully enforceable in May 2027.
The audit gives you a clear picture before then: an anonymous staff survey, a review of accounts, browser extensions and data settings, a ranked risk list with a fix for each, a recommended business tool stack with ₹ costs, and a plain-language usage policy draft aligned with DPDP. Findings are reported by department, so no one is named.
It is a practical review of AI tool use, not a legal DPDP compliance audit, and we recommend your legal adviser reviews the final policy. The price depends on team size and the number of departments in scope; we confirm a fixed price after the 30-minute scoping call, and the audit itself takes one to two weeks.
