  • Cross-mapping of multiple frameworks
  • Current-state maturity assessment
  • Identification of non-compliant processes
  • Technical architecture review
IMPLEMENTATION

Control Design & Execution

Designing and implementing the technical (encryption, logging) and administrative (policies, BCP) controls required to achieve full compliance.

  • Drafting mandated security policies
  • Configuring SIEM/SOC for 6-hr reporting
  • Establishing robust access controls
  • Designing Business Continuity metrics
VERIFICATION

Audit & Certification Support

Conducting rigorous pre-audits and acting as your primary technical liaison during the formal assessment by empanelled auditors or regulatory bodies.

  • Executing mock compliance audits
  • Evidence documentation gathering
  • Remediation of audit observations
  • Filing compliance certificates/reports
The Compliance Landscape

Navigating Punitive Oversight

India's regulatory bodies have transitioned from issuing generic 'guidelines' to enforcing strict, auditable mandates. Non-compliance no longer results in simple warnings; it leads to severe financial penalties, revoked licenses, and personal liability for the Board of Directors.

Financial organizations, payments infrastructure, and large enterprises must now prove continuous compliance regarding data localization, vendor risk, SIEM integration, and incident reporting. We decipher these mandates and integrate them into your IT operations.

CERT-In now mandates that all severe cybersecurity incidents must be reported within 6 hours of discovery, carrying significant penalties for non-compliance.
RBI's Master Direction on IT Framework dictates strict controls around data localization, third-party risk, and continuous transaction monitoring for NBFCs and Banks.
SEBI's guidelines for stock brokers and depository participants require comprehensive VAPT twice a year and immediate reporting of any anomalous activities.

Avoid Penalties

Protect the organization from punitive fines and show-cause notices.

Unified Defense

Map controls efficiently to satisfy multiple regulators simultaneously.

Board Assurance

Provide independent assurance to Directors facing personal liability.

Incident Readiness

Ensure your IR plan aligns with CERT-In's strict timelines.

Our Process

5-Phase Regulatory Roadmap

A structured approach to demystifying and achieving regulatory compliance.

01

Applicability Scoping

Determining exactly which regulations (RBI, SEBI, IRDAI, CERT-In, DPDPA) apply to your specific entity classification and digital operations.

02

Baseline Assessment

Evaluating your existing IT infrastructure, applications, and governance frameworks against the defined regulatory baselines.

03

Remediation Roadmap

Providing a prioritized, actionable project plan to fix identified gaps, factoring in technical difficulty and regulatory deadlines.

04

Control Implementation

Assisting internal teams with the deployment of required technical controls (e.g., localized logging, encryption) and drafting mandated policies.

05

Continuous Compliance

Transitioning from a point-in-time audit fix to a continuous compliance monitoring state, preparing you for annual reassessments.

Why Adayptus

Compliance Designed For Reality

We translate high-level legal mandates into executable technical controls for your IT teams.

Local Expertise

We deeply understand the nuances, unwritten expectations, and recent circulars of the Indian regulatory landscape.

Control Rationalization

Instead of building 3 different SIEMs for 3 different regulators, we build one unified, compliant technical architecture.

Audit Defense

We sit across the table from the empanelled auditors, speaking their language to defend your technical implementations.

Beyond Checklists

We ensure that compliance activities genuinely improve your cybersecurity posture, rather than just ticking a bureaucratic box.
