Your privacy notice is a legal statement. Audit it like one.
Most notices were written once, by someone who has left, about processing that has since changed. Praxis Privacy reviews what you actually publish against what the PDPA actually requires — disclosure by disclosure, each finding tied to the provision it fails.
One of three applications on the Praxis knowledge engine. A notice audit draws on the same structured provisions, versions and evidence as Praxis DPIA and Praxis Frontier — and a DPIA that changes the processing can flag the notice that now understates it.
The audit workflow
From published text to a signed remediation record.
Capture the notice
The published privacy notice, policy or statement — with the version, the date and where it appears.
Describe the processing behind it
What the organisation actually does, so the notice can be tested against reality rather than intent.
Audit disclosure by disclosure
Purposes, legal basis, data classes, sources, disclosure to third parties, transfers, retention, security, rights and contact — each marked present, incomplete or missing.
Evidence every gap
Each finding is tied to the provision it fails and the version of the source relied upon.
Draft and track remediation
Recommended wording, an owner, a target date and the residual position once it lands.
Review, sign and retain
Qualified-person review and sign-off, then a retained record you can produce on request.
Why it matters
The notice is the first document anyone reads.
A regulator opening an enquiry, an enterprise client running vendor due diligence, a data subject exercising a right — all of them start with what you published. A notice that no longer matches the processing behind it is the cheapest failure in the regime to find, and the easiest to fix before someone else finds it.
Regulator-facing
A documented, evidenced review rather than an assurance that someone once looked at it.
Client-facing
The artefact enterprise procurement asks for when it assesses you as a processor.
Repeatable
Run it across a client portfolio or a group's entities and get comparable results each time.
Defensible by design
Every finding carries its basis.
Praxis Privacy structures and evidences professional analysis. It does not provide legal advice, and recommended wording must be reviewed and adopted by an appropriately qualified person.
