AI Compliance Audit

Know exactly where your AI systems
stand before regulators do.

iDharma's structured audit maps every AI tool your organization uses against the EU AI Act, GDPR, and sector regulations — and tells you precisely what to fix, in plain language.

The regulatory landscape

The rules are already live

These frameworks are in force or phasing in now. An iDharma audit maps every finding to the specific obligation it touches — so you know which rule a gap sits under, not just that a gap exists.

What is an AI Audit?

A structured review of every AI system your organization relies on.

An AI audit isn't about finding fault, it's about clarity: we map what your AI tools actually do, identify the regulations that apply, and hand you a prioritized action plan you can act on immediately.

Why iDharma

Not all audits are created equal.

Most consultancies offer a generic checklist. iDharma delivers a structured, sector-specific, actionable audit.

Audit Dimensions

Five areas we examine in every audit.

Each dimension maps to a specific regulatory obligation — and to a business risk you can actually manage.

Together they cover how your AI is governed, where its data comes from, whether it treats people fairly, how it holds up under pressure, and whether it meets the law.

FAQ

Questions we hear every time.

No. We work from system documentation, data flow diagrams, policy documents, and structured interviews with your team. Source code is never required for a compliance audit.

Typically around 3 hours of your team's time spread across the first four days — mostly answering our structured questionnaire and joining one call. We do the analysis independently.

That's exactly what the scoping call is for. Many clients discover AI systems embedded in third-party SaaS tools they didn't realise were in scope. We help you map your full AI footprint first.

Yes — if your AI system's outputs are used within the EU, or if you process data of EU residents, the Act applies regardless of where your organization is registered.

No, but our audit often surfaces what's needed for a DPIA. An AI compliance audit is broader — it covers the AI Act, sector rules, and operational risk — not just data protection law.

You receive 14 business days of written follow-up in your portal with your audit lead, plus optional remediation support packages if you want help implementing fixes — policy drafting, technical controls, staff training.

Law firms deliver legal opinions. We deliver operational compliance — structured evidence, actionable fixes, and plain-language guidance your technical and business teams can act on. We're not a substitute for legal counsel, but we work alongside yours.

Yes — the evidence pack is specifically designed to be shared with procurement teams, due diligence processes, and enterprise clients who require AI compliance documentation as part of vendor qualification.

We cover the EU AI Act (all risk tiers), NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001, HIPAA, SOC 2, and India's DPDP, plus GDPR Articles 13, 14, and 22 — mapped to your specific use case.

We deliver within the scope and timeline we agree with you (typically 1–4 weeks). And if a regulator questions the methodology of our audit, we'll provide expert support at no additional cost.
