Compliance, in full
Gap assessment — your current controls mapped against the framework you are pursuing, producing a prioritised remediation plan rather than a generic checklist.
Technical control implementation — access control, encryption in transit and at rest, logging and retention, backup and tested restore, change management — built into the platform rather than described in a document.
Policy and documentation — the written control set an auditor expects, drafted to describe the system you actually run instead of an idealised one.
Automated evidence collection — control evidence produced continuously by the pipeline and the infrastructure, so audit preparation is not a quarter-long scramble.
Data residency and mapping — where personal data lives, who can reach it, how long it is kept and how a deletion request is honoured end to end.
Audit support — we sit in the audit with you and answer the technical questions, because we built the controls being examined.
What IT compliance services cover
Compliance consulting and compliance assessment services
Compliance consulting begins with a compliance assessment services engagement: your current controls mapped against the framework you are preparing for, with each gap written as an implementable technical change rather than a policy aspiration. Information security compliance work fails most often not because a control is missing but because nobody can show it operated for the whole period — so the assessment covers evidence as seriously as it covers configuration.
Regulatory compliance services and data protection compliance
Regulatory compliance services cover the frameworks Indian and international buyers ask for by name. Data protection compliance is where most engagements start: data mapping, residency, retention enforcement and a working deletion path under the DPDP Act 2023, with the same machinery reused for GDPR where you serve European users. Regulatory risk management means knowing which of those obligations actually bind you before spending against them.
Security compliance automation and compliance management services
Security compliance services degrade the moment they depend on somebody remembering. Security compliance automation means controls implemented as executable policy and evidence collected by the pipeline — access reviews, change approvals, scan results and deployment records retained as they happen. Compliance management services keep that running between assessment periods, which is the difference between a control that operates and one that was configured once.
IT governance services and cybersecurity compliance
IT governance services cover the structures an assessor expects to find: defined ownership, change management with segregation of duties, access provisioning and de-provisioning that leaves a record, and risk management services that produce a register someone actually maintains. Cybersecurity compliance connects those to the technical layer, so a governance statement and the pipeline that enforces it describe the same reality. Governance, risk and compliance (GRC) is that whole surface together.
Audit and compliance services — how we support the assessment
Certification itself is issued by an accredited body; our work is making that assessment a formality. Audit and compliance services here mean preparing the evidence set, rehearsing the questions, mapping each control to the artefact that demonstrates it, and remediating what the gap assessment found — not performing the assessment and not promising its outcome. ISO 27001, SOC 2 and DPDP Act 2023 are the three we are asked for most; GDPR readiness reuses most of the same data-protection work.
What we actually use
ISO 27001
The information security management standard most Indian enterprise and public-sector buyers ask for by name. We implement the Annex A controls that are technical in nature — access control, cryptography, logging, change management, supplier security — and produce the evidence trail behind each one. Certification itself is issued by an accredited body; our work is making that audit a formality.
SOC 2
The framework North American and European clients tend to ask for instead. Because it is assessed over an observation window rather than at a single point in time, the controls have to hold continuously — which is precisely why we implement them as pipeline gates and automated evidence collection rather than as a policy binder that is true on audit day.
DPDP Act
India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 — the obligation that now applies to anyone processing personal data of individuals in India. Practically it means knowing what you collect and why, recording consent, honouring correction and erasure requests, meeting breach-notification timelines, and being able to demonstrate all of it. We handle the technical side: data mapping, residency, retention enforcement and the deletion path.
OPA
Open Policy Agent turns a written rule into an executable one. A requirement such as 'no storage bucket may be public' or 'every production namespace must set resource limits' becomes a policy that fails the build, so drift is prevented rather than detected next quarter. The same policies run against Terraform plans before apply and inside Kubernetes admission at runtime.
The shape of the work
We work in the order an auditor will: scope the system boundary, map the data, assess the gaps, then remediate highest-risk first. Technical controls are implemented as code alongside the DevOps work, which is why compliance costs materially less when it shares a team with delivery. We do not issue certifications — an accredited external body does that — and we do not promise an outcome that is theirs to decide. What we do is make you genuinely ready for that assessment and stand behind the evidence.
Who this is for
Organisations that have been asked for ISO 27001 or SOC 2 by name — usually by an enterprise buyer, a public-sector tender, or a North American client — and organisations now inside the scope of India’s DPDP Act 2023, which is most of them. What we implement is the technical side: access control, cryptography, logging, change management, data mapping, residency, retention enforcement and the deletion path, each with the evidence trail behind it. We prepare and support the audit. We do not perform it, and we are not the body that issues the certificate.
Compliance stops being an annual fire drill. Controls that are enforced by the pipeline cannot silently lapse between audits, and evidence that is collected automatically is available the day it is asked for. For teams selling into enterprise or government procurement, that readiness is frequently the gate on the deal rather than a cost of doing business.
Maker-checker approval, audit trails and role separation are architectural decisions taken at the data-model stage, not controls bolted on afterwards. Niyantā was built that way: maker-checker governance on financial approvals and automated audit trails throughout. That is control implementation and evidence work — it was not a certification engagement, and we have not yet taken a client through an ISO 27001 or SOC 2 audit.
Questions we are asked
Do you certify our organisation?
No. Certification is issued by an accredited external body, and no consultancy can grant it or promise its outcome. What we do is implement the technical controls, map them to the framework, automate the evidence and prepare your team — so that the assessment finds a system that already works the way it is described.
Which frameworks do your compliance services cover?
ISO 27001, SOC 2 and India's DPDP Act 2023 are the three most requested, and GDPR readiness reuses the same data mapping, residency and retention work. HIPAA and PCI DSS are outside our current track record and we will say so rather than take the engagement on a framework we have not implemented.
What does security compliance automation actually mean in practice?
Controls written as executable policy — OPA rules that fail a non-compliant change at build time — and evidence retained by the pipeline rather than assembled by hand before an assessment. Scan results, approvals, deployment records and secret-issuance logs are collected as they happen, which is what turns an evidence request into a query.
How does DPDP Act 2023 readiness differ from GDPR?
The obligations rhyme but the specifics do not: DPDP has its own consent, notice and breach-notification requirements, and data residency expectations that matter to Indian enterprise and public-sector buyers. The underlying engineering — knowing where personal data lives, enforcing retention, and being able to delete on request — is shared, which is why we scope them together.
