Consulting & Compliance Services
Regulatory compliance assessments, policy development, and audit readiness for ISO, RBI, SEBI, and more.
Consulting and compliance services help organizations align with regulatory standards and cybersecurity best practices. These services focus on identifying compliance gaps, improving governance, managing risks, and preparing for audits. As the regulatory landscape in India and globally continues to tighten, organizations face increasing pressure from regulators such as the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI), and international bodies. Non-compliance can result in significant financial penalties, reputational damage, and operational restrictions. Our consulting practice helps organizations navigate this complexity with structured assessments, pragmatic roadmaps, and hands-on implementation support tailored to each regulatory framework.
We begin every engagement with a comprehensive regulatory gap assessment that maps your current security posture against the specific requirements of the applicable framework — whether that is ISO 27001:2022, RBI Master Directions for NBFCs and Payment Aggregators, SEBI Cyber Security Framework, or PCI DSS. This assessment identifies not only technical control gaps but also gaps in policies, procedures, documentation, training, and governance structures. We then develop a prioritized remediation roadmap that addresses the most critical compliance risks first, ensuring that audit preparation efforts are focused on the areas that matter most to regulators and certifying bodies.
Policy development is a core component of compliance readiness. Many organizations have security controls in place but lack the documented policies, standards, and procedures that auditors require. Our consultants work alongside your legal, IT, and business teams to draft comprehensive information security policies, incident response plans, business continuity and disaster recovery plans, data classification frameworks, vendor risk management policies, and acceptable use policies. Each policy is tailored to your organization's size, industry, risk appetite, and regulatory obligations. We ensure policies are practical, enforceable, and aligned with both regulatory expectations and industry best practices such as NIST, ISO 27001, and COBIT.
Audit readiness and continuous compliance monitoring are the final pillars of our service. We conduct pre-audit readiness assessments that simulate the actual certification or regulatory audit, identifying documentation gaps, control weaknesses, and areas where evidence is insufficient. We train internal teams on how to interact with auditors, prepare evidence repositories, and manage corrective action plans for any findings. Beyond the audit, we help establish continuous compliance monitoring programs that use automated tools to track control effectiveness, policy adherence, and regulatory changes over time. This transforms compliance from a point-in-time exercise into an ongoing operational capability that adapts as regulations evolve.
How We Deliver
A structured methodology refined through hundreds of successful engagements.
Gap Analysis & Scoping
We conduct a detailed assessment of your current security controls, policies, and governance practices against the specific regulatory framework applicable to your organization — whether ISO 27001:2022, RBI Master Directions, SEBI Cyber Security Framework, PCI DSS, IRDAI, or UIDAI AUA/KUA requirements. Our consultants review technical configurations, process documentation, training records, incident response logs, third-party risk management practices, and previous audit findings. The output is a comprehensive gap analysis report with a prioritized roadmap that estimates effort, timelines, and resource requirements for achieving compliance.
Policy & Framework Development
We work with your team to develop or update the complete set of documentation required for compliance. This includes information security policies, standards, procedures, guidelines, and baseline configurations. We also establish the governance structure — defining roles and responsibilities, steering committee charters, risk acceptance processes, and management review mechanisms. All documentation is aligned with the specific requirements of the target framework and designed to be practical for day-to-day operations. We provide templates, examples, and training to ensure your team can maintain and update these documents post-engagement.
Implementation Support
Our consultants provide hands-on support to implement the technical and procedural controls identified in the remediation roadmap. This may include configuring security tools, establishing logging and monitoring systems, implementing access control mechanisms, deploying data protection controls, setting up incident response capabilities, and conducting staff awareness training. We work alongside your IT and security teams to ensure knowledge transfer and build internal capability. For ISO 27001, we assist with defining the ISMS scope, conducting the risk assessment and treatment process, and preparing the Statement of Applicability (SoA).
Audit Readiness & Pre-Certification Review
Before the formal certification or regulatory audit, we conduct a simulated audit that mirrors the methodology and rigor of the actual assessment. Our reviewers examine evidence documentation, interview process owners, test technical controls, and identify any remaining gaps or non-conformities. We provide a detailed readiness report with a corrective action plan and timeline. We also train internal teams on audit protocols, evidence presentation, and managing auditor interactions. This step dramatically increases the likelihood of first-time certification or regulatory approval and reduces audit cycle time.
Continuous Compliance Monitoring
Compliance is not a one-time project but an ongoing program. We help organizations implement continuous compliance monitoring frameworks using automated tools that track control effectiveness, policy adherence, asset inventory changes, user access reviews, and regulatory update notifications. We establish dashboards and reporting cadences for management review, define key risk indicators (KRIs) and key performance indicators (KPIs), and set up periodic internal audit schedules. This ensures that your organization remains compliant between formal audits and can quickly adapt when regulatory requirements change.
