Compliance & Regulatory Services

We support all major regulatory and industry compliance frameworks: ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type I & II, PCI-DSS, GDPR, HIPAA, RBI Cybersecurity Framework, SEBI CSCRF, CERT-In guidelines, NIST CSF 2.0, CIS Controls, IRDAI cybersecurity guidelines, and IT Act 2000 requirements. According to Thomson Reuters, 78% of organizations expect regulatory volume to increase year-over-year. Our integrated approach maps controls across multiple frameworks - for example, ISO 27001 implementation covers approximately 70% of SOC 2 requirements - saving 30-50% of time and resources compared to addressing each standard separately.

Typically 4-6 months for organizations with existing security maturity, and 6-9 months for those starting from scratch. Our accelerated methodology with pre-built policy templates, automated evidence collection, and experienced auditor coordination reduces timelines by up to 40% compared to industry averages. The process follows four phases: gap assessment (2-3 weeks), roadmap and implementation (8-16 weeks), internal audit (2 weeks), and Stage 1/Stage 2 certification audit (2-4 weeks). According to the ISO Survey, ISO 27001 certifications grew 20% year-over-year globally, reflecting increasing enterprise demand for formal information security validation.

Yes - our unified control framework approach maps controls across multiple standards to eliminate duplication. For example, a single access control implementation can satisfy ISO 27001 Annex A.9, SOC 2 CC6, PCI-DSS Requirement 7, and NIST CSF PR.AC simultaneously. Gartner reports that organizations using integrated compliance approaches reduce their total compliance spend by 30-50%. We create a master control library tailored to your environment, with automated evidence collection that serves multiple audit requirements from a single source of truth.

Continuous compliance monitoring uses automated tools and real-time dashboards to track your compliance posture 365 days a year - not just during audit season. Gartner reports that 65% of organizations are only 'compliant' during the audit window. Our continuous monitoring includes automated control testing, real-time drift detection alerts, monthly compliance scorecards, and evidence collection automation. This approach reduces audit preparation time by 60% and virtually eliminates surprise findings. According to Ponemon Institute, the average cost of non-compliance is $14.82 million - 2.71x more than maintaining ongoing compliance.

Yes - we provide end-to-end audit support throughout the entire certification lifecycle. This includes pre-audit readiness assessments, evidence package preparation and organization, auditor liaison and communication management, real-time remediation of findings during the audit, and post-audit corrective action planning. Our team has supported 100+ successful certification audits across ISO 27001, SOC 2, and PCI-DSS with a zero-failed-audit track record. According to ISACA, organizations with experienced compliance partners achieve first-time certification 65% more often than those attempting self-guided compliance.

We have deep expertise in SEBI's Cybersecurity and Cyber Resilience Framework (CSCRF), which mandates comprehensive cybersecurity measures for all market intermediaries including stockbrokers, depository participants, mutual funds, and AMCs. Our CSCRF services cover gap assessment against all CSCRF requirements, cybersecurity policy and governance framework development, SOC establishment or enhancement with 24/7 monitoring, incident response planning aligned with CERT-In 6-hour reporting mandates, vulnerability management and bi-annual VAPT programs, and board-level cybersecurity reporting frameworks. SEBI's enforcement has intensified - non-compliant entities face penalties and trading restrictions.

Managed compliance typically costs 40-60% less than building an equivalent in-house GRC team. According to ISC², qualified GRC professionals command salaries of $120,000-$180,000 annually in the global market. Our engagement models include fixed-price projects for defined compliance goals (ISO 27001 certification, SOC 2 readiness), retainer-based ongoing compliance management, and hybrid models combining initial implementation with continuous monitoring. Pricing depends on organizational complexity, number of frameworks, and current maturity level. Ponemon Institute estimates that the average cost of non-compliance ($14.82M) is 2.71x the cost of maintaining compliance - making professional compliance services one of the highest-ROI security investments.
