What we do

Three practices. One trusted partner.

Governance, privacy, and security are not separate problems — they are three dimensions of the same challenge. We solve all three.

Govern

Build structured, certifiable management systems for AI and privacy. From ISO 42001 and ISO 27701 through to DPDP Act compliance — we design governance that satisfies every regulator your organisation faces.

ISO 42001 EU AI Act ISO 27701 GDPR DPDP Act

Protect

Map personal data, implement privacy by design, and respond to data subject rights — building privacy into your operations rather than bolting it on. Compliant with GDPR, DPDP Act, and global privacy law.

Data Mapping DPIA Privacy by Design Breach Response

Secure

Test, validate, and harden your technical security — from network penetration testing and cloud audits to LLM red teaming and adversarial ML testing. Independent assurance that proves your controls actually work.

Why Padmaura Digital Trust

What makes us different

01

Dual AI and privacy expertise

Most Indian consultancies offer privacy as an add-on to cybersecurity. We built AI governance and privacy as equal, integrated core practices — because that is where the market is going.

02

India-first, globally fluent

We understand the DPDP Act, ISO 42001, GDPR, and the EU AI Act equally well. For organisations navigating multiple jurisdictions, that combination is rare and essential.

03

AI security built for modern AI

LLMs, agentic systems, and RAG pipelines introduce threats that conventional penetration testing cannot test. Our AI Security practice was designed specifically for this.

04

Implementation, not just advisory

We stay until it is done — documentation drafted, controls embedded, team trained, and certification achieved. Governance that lives in your organisation, not just in a report.

05

Governance and security under one roof

ISO 42001 tells you what controls to have. Our security audit practice independently verifies they work. No coordination gaps between your governance and your security assurance.

06

Engagements built for sustainability

We transfer knowledge as we work — your team will understand the management system, own the documentation, and be able to maintain certification independently.

How we work

From first call to certification

A structured, transparent engagement model — so you always know exactly where you are and what comes next.

1

30 minutes. We listen, understand your situation, and map the right services.

2

Gap assessment

Clause-by-clause analysis against the relevant standards and regulations.

3

Documentation

Policies, procedures, registers, and records — tailored and professionally drafted.

4

Implementation

Hands-on embedding of the management system into your daily operations.

5
