Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013

Every employer with ten or more employees must have an Internal Committee, a policy and an annual compliance cycle.

The POSH Act requires employers to adopt a policy against sexual harassment, constitute an Internal Committee with an external member, conduct awareness programmes, inquire into complaints within prescribed timelines and file an annual report.

We review POSH compliance, train Internal Committee members and employees, and connect POSH with ISO 30415 inclusion practices and ISO 45003 psychological safety.

How we get you compliant

  1. Applicability and scoping

    Confirm whether and how the law applies to you, entities, data, systems, roles and territories.

  2. Data and process mapping

    Build a record of processing or control inventory so obligations can be tied to real systems and owners.

  3. Gap assessment

    Measure current practice against each obligation and rank the gaps by legal and business risk.

  4. Remediation roadmap

    Policies, notices, contracts, technical controls and governance, sequenced so the highest risks close first.

  5. Evidence and ongoing monitoring

    A compliance calendar, metrics and periodic reviews so you can demonstrate compliance to a regulator or customer at any time.
