An Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) audit is a structured review of the IP your organisation owns, uses and licenses. It maps every asset, checks that registrations are valid and renewed, confirms that employees, contractors and vendors have assigned their rights, and identifies where you may be infringing someone else's rights. It is typically done before fundraising, an acquisition, a product launch or a customer security and legal review.
Indian IT companies, SaaS firms and software product organizations face growing pressure from enterprise clients, government mandates and global buyers to demonstrate robust compliance postures. Our certified lead auditors deliver ISO 27001, ISO 42001, SOC 2, ISO 9001 and IT governance consulting end-to-end — from Bengaluru and Hyderabad to every major tech hub across India.
What information technology companies are dealing with
- Enterprise and government customers increasingly mandate ISO 27001 or SOC 2 as a procurement prerequisite
- DPDP Act 2023 obligations and cross-border data-transfer restrictions require structured privacy controls
- Rapid product releases and cloud-native architectures make continuous compliance complex and costly
- Talent attrition and decentralized teams make it difficult to maintain consistent ISMS and QMS documentation
What IPR Audit gives a information technology business
- A complete register of patents, trademarks, copyrights, designs and trade secrets
- Clear chain of title: proof that the company, not a developer or vendor, owns the IP
- Early warning of registration gaps, lapsed renewals and infringement exposure
- Cleaner investor and acquirer due diligence with audit-ready documentation
- Stronger employment, contractor and licensing agreements
Our IPR Audit process
01. Scoping & IP Inventory
We list every asset you create or use: registered and unregistered marks, code, designs, inventions, content, datasets and trade secrets, and who created each.
02. Ownership & Registration Review
We check registrations, renewals and priority dates under the Patents Act, Trade Marks Act, Copyright Act and Designs Act, and verify assignment from employees, contractors and vendors.
03. Licence & Infringement Risk Assessment
We review inbound and outbound licences, joint-ownership and confidentiality terms, and screen for conflicting third-party rights.
04. Report & Remediation Plan
A prioritised report with gaps, risk ratings and fixes: filings to make, agreements to amend and policies to adopt, ready to share with investors or counsel.
Frequently asked questions
Why do information technology companies need IPR Audit?
Enterprise and government customers increasingly mandate ISO 27001 or SOC 2 as a procurement prerequisite. IPR Audit gives customers, regulators and auditors independent proof that your controls work.
How long does IPR Audit take for a information technology company?
It depends on size, scope and how mature your processes are. After a short gap assessment we set a fixed plan, then work through implementation, internal audit and the certification audit.
Which ISO certifications are most important for an Indian IT company?
ISO 27001 (information security) and ISO 9001 (quality management) are the most commonly required certifications for Indian IT firms bidding for enterprise or government contracts. Increasingly, ISO 42001 (AI management) and SOC 2 are also being requested by US and EU clients.
How long does ISO 27001 certification take for a mid-size IT company?
A typical mid-size IT company (50–500 employees) can achieve ISO 27001 certification in 4–6 months with dedicated support. Organizations with mature security controls can compress this timeline to 3 months.
What is an IPR audit?
An IPR audit is a systematic review of the intellectual property you own, use and license. It covers patents, trademarks, copyrights, designs and trade secrets, confirms ownership and registration status, and identifies infringement and licensing risks.
When should a company do an IPR audit?
The usual triggers are a funding round, an acquisition, a major product launch, entering a new market, or a customer or investor due-diligence request. Many companies also repeat it every one to two years.
