Scope

What's included

Our role is to assess and advise. We review systems and controls, document findings, and recommend practical steps for management to act on; we do not operate, monitor, or secure systems.

As technology and regulation reshape how businesses handle information, Veena S J & Associates offers information-systems audit and data-protection advisory to organisations in Bengaluru and across India. We review IT general controls (ITGC), application controls, and access management; assess cyber and IT risk; and provide governance and readiness advisory aligned to recognised frameworks such as ISO 27001 and SOC 2. On the privacy side, we help you understand and prepare for your obligations under the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, 2023 — mapping data flows, reviewing consent and security practices, and building a practical compliance roadmap. Delivered with the independence and rigour of a chartered accountancy firm, our work helps you protect data, satisfy stakeholders, and stay ahead of evolving requirements.

FAQ

Common questions

General answers about IS audit & data-protection. For advice specific to your situation, get in touch.

What is an information systems (IS) audit?

An IS audit is an independent review of the systems and controls that support your financial and business processes, covering access, change management, and data processing. We report findings and recommendations against recognised frameworks.

Does this include penetration testing or security monitoring?

No. Our work is advisory, audit, and assessment only. We do not carry out penetration testing, operate security tools, or monitor systems. Where such services are needed, they fall outside the scope of a chartered accountancy practice.

How do you support DPDP readiness?

We assess your current position against the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, help draft policies and notices, and advise on consent, data-principal rights, and record-keeping. Implementation remains with your team, with our advisory support.
