GRC stands for Governance, Risk, and Compliance – three interconnected disciplines that together ensure your organisation operates securely, manages risk intelligently, and meets its regulatory and contractual obligations. Governance is the framework of policies, roles, accountability, and oversight that directs how security and risk decisions are made. Risk management is the systematic identification, assessment, and treatment of threats to your business. Compliance is meeting the requirements imposed by regulators (DPDPA, RBI, SEBI), standards bodies (ISO, AICPA), and customers (contractual security requirements). GRC unifies these so they reinforce rather than duplicate each other.
Indian businesses now face an unprecedented compliance landscape. The DPDP Act 2023 (with Rules 2025) imposes Indian privacy obligations with penalties up to ₹250 crore. US enterprise customers demand SOC 2 Type II. EU markets require GDPR. Payment processing requires PCI DSS. US healthcare clients require HIPAA. International credibility requires ISO 27001. Regulators (RBI, IRDAI, SEBI) mandate IS/IT audits. A single growing business may need 4-5 of these simultaneously. Navigating them separately is expensive and duplicative. A unified GRC approach achieves 70-80% control reuse across frameworks – dramatically reducing cost and effort.
Most consultancies specialise in one or two frameworks. Secureroot provides the full spectrum – and more importantly, we architect your compliance program for maximum reuse. Implement ISO 27001 once, and 70%+ of its controls satisfy SOC 2. Build DPDPA compliance, and you’re 80% of the way to GDPR. Our unified approach means you build a single, coherent security and compliance program that satisfies multiple regulators – rather than seven disconnected compliance projects. This is the difference between compliance as a cost center and compliance as a competitive advantage. One partner, every framework, maximum efficiency.


Framework-agnostic methodology applying across ISO 27001, SOC 2, DPDPA, PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, and IS/IT Audit. Architected for control reuse – implement once, satisfy multiple frameworks. Every GRC engagement runs through these six phases.

We define which frameworks apply to your business (based on customers, markets, data, regulators), scope the compliance program, and identify control overlap opportunities. For multi-framework needs, we architect the unified program maximising reuse. Output: compliance scope and framework roadmap.

Comprehensive assessment of current state against target framework requirements. For each applicable framework, we identify gaps: missing controls, inadequate documentation, process deficiencies, evidence gaps. Cross-framework gap mapping shows where single controls satisfy multiple frameworks. Output: prioritised remediation roadmap.

We develop or refine the policies, procedures, and controls required across your frameworks. Unified policy architecture means one Information Security Policy satisfies ISO 27001, SOC 2, and more – rather than separate policies per framework. Customised to your business, not templates. Output: complete policy and control framework.

Hands-on implementation of controls with evidence collection built in from day one. Access reviews, training, monitoring, vendor assessments, technical controls. For attestation/certification frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001), continuous evidence collection set up. Output: implemented controls with audit-ready evidence.

We prepare for and support the audit/certification process. For ISO 27001: certification body coordination. For SOC 2: CPA auditor coordination. For DPDPA/GDPR/HIPAA: internal audit and regulator-readiness. We prepare documentation, conduct internal audits, and support you through external assessment. Output: certification/attestation achieved.

Compliance is continuous, not one-time. We provide ongoing support: surveillance audits (ISO 27001 annual), Type II observation periods (SOC 2), periodic reassessment (DPDPA/GDPR/HIPAA), control monitoring, evidence maintenance, regulation updates, annual refresh. Sustained compliance year after year across all your frameworks.

Click any area to expand. Most engagements cover 3-5 of these — scope is finalized during the free scoping call.
We test web applications against OWASP Top 10 (injection, broken authentication, sensitive data exposure, XXE, broken access control, security misconfiguration, XSS, insecure deserialization, vulnerable components, insufficient logging).
Beyond OWASP, our senior consultants test business logic flaws specific to your application — price manipulation, race conditions, workflow bypasses, IDOR vulnerabilities exposing customer data. Web app pentesting is the most-requested VAPT scope for SaaS, fintech, and e-commerce businesses in India.
Mobile app VAPT covers static analysis (decompiling APK/IPA files, reviewing source code, checking obfuscation), dynamic analysis (runtime testing on real devices, checking certificate pinning, API security), and network analysis (man-in-the-middle attacks, certificate validation, session management).
We test both iOS and Android apps against OWASP Mobile Top 10. Critical for fintech apps, healthcare apps, and consumer apps storing payment or PII data.
External network VAPT tests your internet-facing infrastructure — firewalls, web servers, mail servers, VPN gateways — for misconfigurations, exposed services, weak protocols, and unpatched vulnerabilities.
Internal network VAPT simulates an attacker who has already breached the perimeter — testing for lateral movement opportunities, privilege escalation paths, and access to sensitive systems. Required for ISO 27001, PCI DSS, and SOC 2 audits.
Cloud VAPT covers infrastructure-as-code review (Terraform, CloudFormation), IAM misconfigurations, S3 bucket / Blob storage exposure, security group rules, network ACLs, KMS encryption gaps, logging and monitoring deficiencies, and CIS Benchmark compliance.
We test against cloud-specific attack patterns — instance metadata service abuse, IAM role chaining, container escape. Essential for any Indian business with critical workloads in AWS, Azure, or GCP.
API VAPT covers REST and GraphQL APIs against OWASP API Top 10 — broken object level authorization, broken authentication, excessive data exposure, lack of rate limiting, broken function level authorization, mass assignment, security misconfiguration, injection, improper assets management, and insufficient logging.
Critical for any SaaS, fintech, or healthcare API serving B2B customers. We test authentication flows, authorization controls, rate limiting, and business logic at the API layer.
Source code review is whitebox VAPT — we read your application source code line-by-line to find security vulnerabilities that black-box testing misses. Coverage includes: hardcoded secrets and credentials, insecure cryptographic implementations, SQL injection vulnerabilities at the query construction layer, race conditions, authorization logic flaws, and insecure third-party library usage.
Often combined with web/mobile/API VAPT for comprehensive coverage — required for SOC 2 Type II and high-assurance engagements.
Wireless VAPT tests your Wi-Fi infrastructure for security weaknesses — weak encryption (WEP, WPA), default credentials on access points, rogue access points, evil twin attacks, deauthentication attacks, and guest network isolation failures.
Essential for offices handling sensitive data, retail locations with payment infrastructure, and healthcare facilities with connected medical devices. Required for PCI DSS compliance in retail and BFSI environments.
Technical VAPT alone isn't enough — most successful attacks start with social engineering. We simulate phishing campaigns targeting your employees, vishing (voice phishing) attacks targeting help desk staff, and physical social engineering (tailgating, pretexting) targeting office access controls.
Results show your real human-layer vulnerability with metrics: click-through rates, credential entry rates, security awareness gaps. Essential complement to technical testing for businesses serious about cybersecurity.
Our certified Tier 3 engineers conduct our no-obligation Assessment, which offers you actionable insights into your network.

GRC stands for Governance, Risk, and Compliance - the unified discipline ensuring your organisation operates securely, manages risk, and meets regulatory and contractual obligations. We cover seven frameworks: DPDPA (India's privacy law), ISO 27001 (international information security), SOC 2 (US enterprise attestation), PCI DSS (payment security), HIPAA (US healthcare), GDPR (EU privacy), and IS/IT Audit (information systems audit). Most businesses need 3-5 of these simultaneously. Our unified approach architects your compliance program for maximum control reuse — implement once, satisfy multiple frameworks.
Depends on your customers, markets, data, and regulators. Selling to US enterprises? SOC 2 Type II. Serving EU residents? GDPR. Processing Indian personal data? DPDPA. Handling payment cards? PCI DSS. Serving US healthcare? HIPAA. Want global credibility? ISO 27001. Regulated entity (bank, NBFC, insurer, listed company)? IS/IT Audit. Most growing businesses need multiple frameworks. Our free compliance gap assessment maps exactly which frameworks apply to your specific business and how to achieve them efficiently through control reuse.
Cost depends on frameworks needed, organisation size, and current maturity. Single framework: ₹4,00,000-15,00,000 (varies by framework). Multiple frameworks benefit from our unified approach — significant savings versus separate projects. For example, ISO 27001 + SOC 2 together costs roughly 130-140% of one alone (not 200%) due to 70% control overlap. DPDPA + GDPR together saves 30-40% versus sequential. We provide transparent fixed-price quoting after the free gap assessment, and recommend the most efficient sequencing for multi-framework needs. See individual sub-service pages for framework-specific pricing.
Yes - and this is where our unified GRC approach delivers the most value. Most consultancies treat each framework as a separate project. We architect a single coherent compliance program maximising control reuse: implement ISO 27001 once, and 70%+ of its controls satisfy SOC 2. Build DPDPA compliance, and you're 80% of the way to GDPR. PCI DSS technical controls overlap significantly with ISO 27001. Rather than seven disconnected projects, you build one program satisfying multiple regulators. This dramatically reduces cost, effort, and audit fatigue. Multi-framework engagements are our specialty.
Varies by framework and scope. ISO 27001: 4-9 months. SOC 2 Type I: 5-8 months; Type II: 9-15 months (includes observation period). DPDPA: 4-8 months. GDPR: 4-7 months. PCI DSS: 3-9 months by merchant level. HIPAA: 4-9 months. IS/IT Audit: 6-12 weeks. For multiple frameworks, unified implementation is faster than sequential - shared controls implemented once. Organisations with existing maturity (e.g., already ISO 27001 certified) move faster on additional frameworks. We provide realistic timelines after the gap assessment for your specific framework combination.
Both cover similar security domains but differ structurally. ISO 27001 is an international CERTIFICATION (you get a certificate) with global recognition, 93 prescriptive controls, mandatory surveillance audits, valid 3 years. SOC 2 is an AICPA ATTESTATION (you get a report) primarily for US markets, flexible Trust Services Criteria, annual report renewal, US CPA-issued. ISO 27001 is broader (management system); SOC 2 is deeper (operating effectiveness). For US enterprise sales: SOC 2 Type II. For global credibility: ISO 27001. Most mature SaaS pursue both - 70%+ control overlap makes doing them together highly efficient. See our dedicated ISO 27001 and SOC 2 sub-pages for detail.
We provide consulting and readiness; certification/attestation comes from independent bodies (required for audit independence). For ISO 27001: we prepare you and coordinate with accredited certification bodies who issue the certificate. For SOC 2: we prepare you and coordinate with US-licensed CPA firms who issue the report. For DPDPA/GDPR/HIPAA: these are largely self-attested with our internal audit support and regulator-readiness. For IS/IT Audit: we conduct the audit aligned with ISACA standards. This consultant-auditor separation is standard and required - we get you ready and support you through external assessment, but independent bodies provide the formal certification.
