The practitioner view
Working with ABDM / Health Data Security Audit
What ABDM / Health Data Security Audit is
Security and privacy audit for the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission ecosystem. It is issued by National Health Authority and applies across India. Our assessors work against it directly, so what follows is the practitioner view rather than a restatement of the text.
Who it binds
Applicability turns on what you process and who regulates you, not on your size. If National Health Authority sets your rules, or a customer contract names ABDM / Health Data Security Audit, you are in scope. We map that boundary first, because an over-drawn scope is the single most expensive mistake in any programme.
What an assessor looks for
Evidence that the control operated, not that it was written down. Expect sampling across the period, interviews with the control owners, and a request for the artefacts that prove the control ran on the days it was supposed to. Policies without operating evidence are the most common finding we raise.
How to get ready
Scope it, assess the gap against the current version, remediate in priority order, then collect evidence continuously rather than in the fortnight before the audit. Evidence lag is what slips dates, not the controls themselves.
