The DPDP Act empowers the Government to require Significant Data Fiduciaries to undergo periodic independent data audits. Many non-SDF organisations also commission privacy audits to satisfy customer due-diligence requirements.
A security audit (e.g. SOC 2, ISO 27001) tests information security controls. A privacy audit tests how personal data is governed across its lifecycle: lawful basis, notice, consent, rights, retention, sharing and breach handling. Both are needed, but they're not interchangeable.
A focused audit typically takes 3–6 weeks from kickoff to final report, depending on the number of in-scope systems and entities.
