Compliance that survives the audit.

Security assessments accepted by RBI, SEBI, IRDAI, and CERT-In — delivered by an empaneled auditor that pairs real technical validation with governance, documentation, and remediation support.

Compliance
questions

Government departments, PSUs and many regulated entities are required or expected to use a CERT-In empanelled auditor, and government tenders frequently specify one. Regulators including RBI, SEBI, IRDAI and UIDAI recognize reports from empanelled auditors. CyberNerds is CERT-In and TNEGA empanelled.
A gap assessment is an internal, advisory review that measures you against a standard control by control and lists what is missing. A certification or regulatory audit is the formal assessment that produces the certificate or report your regulator or customer accepts. Doing the gap assessment first means the formal audit holds no surprises.
SEBI's Cyber Security and Cyber Resilience Framework applies to SEBI-regulated entities such as stock brokers, depository participants, mutual funds and AMCs, registrar and transfer agents, KYC registration agencies, investment advisers and research analysts. Requirements are graded by the category of the entity, so the controls and audit frequency depend on your size and role.
It depends on scope and maturity. Organizations starting from scratch typically need three to six months to build the ISMS and run it long enough to produce evidence before the Stage 1 and Stage 2 certification audits. A gap assessment gives you a realistic timeline for your environment.
India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 applies to anyone processing digital personal data in India. It requires valid consent or another lawful basis, reasonable security safeguards, breach notification, and honoring data-principal rights. We map your personal-data flows, close the control gaps and prepare the processes the Act expects.
Yes. Our gap assessment covers the specific standard, and the India Cybersecurity Readiness Initiative adds targeted technical assessments such as attack surface, credentials and APIs, certificates and incident readiness, so the evidence is ready before the auditor arrives.
