Digital Regulatory Assurance for Indian Enterprises

Your website is a regulated customer touchpoint.
Audit it like one.

AuditIQ examines public websites across privacy, dark patterns, accessibility, performance, regulatory disclosures and content accuracy.

Every finding is connected to the page where it was observed, the evidence behind it, the rule or standard it is assessed against, the team that should own the response — and whether the issue was proven, suspected or still requires human review.

[ real AuditIQ finding — evidence · clause · owner ]

Website governance has moved beyond SEO, uptime and brand consistency.

For regulated organisations, a website can simultaneously:

  • collect personal information,
  • present regulated products,
  • influence customer choices,
  • communicate statutory disclosures,
  • publish financial or product information,
  • host policy and regulatory documents,
  • and serve customers with different accessibility needs.

That means a website is no longer simply a publishing platform.

It is part of the organisation's regulated digital estate.

The question is no longer only whether the website works. The question is whether the organisation can evidence how it is being governed.

One website. Multiple owners. Fragmented assurance.

The same website is usually reviewed by different teams for different reasons.

Regulatory disclosuresMandatory warningsGrievance informationProduct communication

The result is often several reviews, several spreadsheets and no single evidence base showing:

What was checked.

What was not.

What needs action.

Who owns it.

What changed later.

One audit. Six dimensions. Evidence before assurance.

AuditIQ brings six areas of website assurance into one structured audit.

D1

Content Recency & Accuracy

Identify stale dates, outdated financial years, broken documents, conflicting figures and other content that may no longer reflect the organisation's current position.

D2

Data Privacy — DPDP

Review observable website indicators relating to notice, consent, withdrawal, forms, trackers, grievance information and other privacy controls.

D3

Dark Patterns

Screen for digitally observable patterns such as false urgency, basket sneaking, confirm shaming, forced action and subscription traps.

D4

Accessibility

Surface automated accessibility issues in webpages, inspect linked PDFs for tagging and show which WCAG criteria still require human assessment.

D6

Performance

Review Core Web Vitals, server response indicators and selected page-performance conditions without mixing unavailable measurements with real values.

D7

Regulatory & Sectoral

For insurers, inspect website disclosures including IRDAI registration information, grievance routes, Ombudsman references, product UINs and relevant statutory warnings.

An empty findings list should never be mistaken for a pass.

AuditIQ reports coverage before conclusions.

For every audit dimension, the report states:

  • what was assessed,
  • what did not run,
  • what could not be established externally,
  • where automation stops,
  • and where human judgement is still required.

Observed

A condition was directly detected.

Suspected

A machine-readable signal was found but requires confirmation.

Needs human review

Context or judgement is required.

Unevidenced

The matter cannot be established from the public website alone.

Uncertainty is recorded — not hidden.

What was checked and what was not

Dimension Checks run Coverage
Content recency & accuracy 184 / 184 Complete
Data privacy — DPDP 184 / 184 Complete · 12 need human review

Eight CCPA dark-pattern categories and 41 WCAG 2.2 criteria remain assigned to manual assessment. Not assessed is never reported as no failure found.

Compliance risk should not be averaged into a reassuring number.

AuditIQ deliberately does not produce an overall compliance score. A critical consent issue should not become less important because several low-severity technical observations were satisfactory.

Instead, AuditIQ preserves the context of individual findings through:

Critical High Medium Low Informational

and combines severity with decision provenance:

Machine observed Machine suspects Needs human review

No score. Just evidence, context and action.

Anatomy of a finding

Every finding should answer the questions needed to resolve it.

Page → Evidence → Rule → Owner → Action

Where was it observed?

Page or URL

What did AuditIQ detect?

The specific condition or indicator

What is the evidence?

Observed page element, content or structural signal

What is it assessed against?

Applicable regulation, clause, guideline or standard

How serious is it?

Severity and assessment status

Who should own it?

Compliance, DPO, Digital, Product, Technology, Content or other relevant role

What should happen next?

Specific remediation recommendation

A long issue list is not a remediation plan.

AuditIQ groups related findings into actionable jobs so teams can work on the underlying fix rather than manage hundreds of individual rows.

Approve

Include it in the final audit.

Hold

Pause it with a recorded reason.

Ignore

Set it aside with a mandatory explanation.

Decisions are recorded rather than silently deleting findings. The report can then be rebuilt from the same audit evidence without re-crawling the website.

“Fixed” means re-checked.

When a later audit is performed, AuditIQ can distinguish between:

Fixed — re-checked Came back Still open New Not re-checked Not comparable

An issue is not called fixed simply because it disappeared from the next spreadsheet.

Progress should be evidenced with the same discipline as the original finding.

What changed since the last cycle

cycle 03 · 2026-09-15 vs cycle 02 · 2026-06-02

Fixed — re-checked 38
Still open 96
New 21

Findings on pages excluded from cycle 03 are reported as not re-checked, never as fixed.

One evidence base. Different views for different decisions.

The audit stays under your control.

AuditIQ is designed as a local audit workbench rather than a cloud-first SaaS product.

It runs from a controlled local environment and stores audit records on the machine where the audit is performed.

Explore deployment & security
No SaaS account required
No vendor-hosted audit database
No AI or external generative model
Uses deterministic rules
Audit records remain local
Optional PageSpeed measurements can be disabled

AuditIQ still connects to the website being audited, external linked resources where required, and Google's PageSpeed service when that optional measurement is enabled.

Regulated websites should not be governed by assumption.

They should be governed through evidence:

What was checked.

What was found.

What could not be checked.

Who owns the response.

And whether it was genuinely fixed.

AuditIQ

Website compliance, with the evidence.
