Compliance and Audit Readiness for ASPs

Compliance and Audit Readiness for ASPs

Being audit-ready not only prevents service disruptions but also strengthens your credibility with enterprise customers.

Security Controls

  • ISO 27001:2013 certification — or a documented plan to achieve it within 90 days, where applicable.
  • Periodic VAPT (Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing) — track remediation and verify fixes.
  • Least-privilege access — restrict credentials and environment permissions to the minimum required.

Data Governance

  • Data minimization — process only what’s necessary; encrypt data at rest and in transit where applicable.
  • Retention & deletion policies — clearly document who can access data, for how long, and for what purpose.
  • Incident response playbooks — maintain tested procedures for handling breaches, including notification paths.

Operational Evidence

  • Audit-ready logs — maintain transaction and system logs sufficient to reconstruct user actions and outcomes (typical retention: 7 years unless otherwise notified).
  • Version control — archive policy, workflow, and UX changes tied to GSTN or GSP updates.
  • DR/BCP drills — run regular Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Plan exercises; record and review outcomes.
