PLAIN-LANGUAGE EXPLANATION

PLAIN-LANGUAGE EXPLANATION

GRC - what it actually means

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.

OUR APPROACH

OUR APPROACH

Our proven 6-phase GRC methodology

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.

Scope & Framework Selection

Scope & Framework Selection

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.

Gap Analysis

Gap Analysis

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.

Policy & Control Development

Policy & Control Development

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.

Implementation & Evidence

Implementation & Evidence

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.

Audit & Certification

Audit & Certification

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.

Ongoing Compliance & Surveillance

Ongoing Compliance & Surveillance

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.

We work with companies that take cybersecurity seriously - from 20-person startups to 2,000-person enterprises - across BFSI, fintech, healthcare, government, and SaaS.

VAPT SCOPE

What we test in a VAPT engagement

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.
