Compliance & Auditing

Regulatory compliance is no longer optional — it’s a business imperative. Alchemilla Ventures provides comprehensive compliance consulting and auditing services that help organisations navigate complex regulatory landscapes, with expert consultants.

The Compliance Landscape

organisations face a growing web of regulations — RBI guidelines for financial services, CERT-In directives for incident reporting, the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act for data privacy, and industry-specific frameworks for insurance, telecom, and healthcare. Add international standards like ISO 27001, SOC 2, and GDPR (for companies serving global clients), and the compliance burden can feel overwhelming. Our consultants make it manageable.

Our Compliance & Auditing Services

• ISO 27001 Consulting & Certification Support: End-to-end ISO 27001:2022 implementation — from gap analysis to certification audit. We design your Information Security Management System (ISMS), draft policies and procedures, implement controls from Annex A, and prepare your team for Stage 1 and Stage 2 audits. We work with leading certification bodies (BSI, TUV, DNV).

• SOC 2 Readiness & Attestation: For SaaS companies and IT service providers serving US and global clients, SOC 2 is often a deal-breaker. We prepare you for SOC 2 Type I (point-in-time) and Type II (over a period) audits, implementing controls across the five Trust Service Criteria — Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy.

• RBI Cybersecurity Framework Compliance: Specialised consulting for banks, NBFCs, and payment system operators. We help implement RBI’s comprehensive cybersecurity framework including:

• Cyber Crisis Management Plan (CCMP)

• Security Operations Centre (SOC) requirements

• Gap assessment against RBI baseline security controls

• Domain-specific email configuration

• Board-approved cybersecurity policies

• Annual VAPT and audit requirements

• DPDP Act 2023 Readiness: The Digital Personal Data Protection Act is the comprehensive privacy law. Our consultants help you:

• Map personal data flows and create Records of Processing Activities (ROPA)

• Implement consent management mechanisms

• Conduct Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIA)

• Appoint or support Data Protection Officers (DPO)

• Establish data breach response and notification procedures

• Review and update vendor contracts for data processor obligations

• GDPR Compliance for Exporters: For the large IT/BPO sector serving European clients, we provide GDPR gap assessments, Data Processing Agreement (DPA) reviews, cross-border data transfer assessments, and representation services.

• Internal Audits & Pre-Certification Assessments: Independent internal audits of your security controls, identifying gaps before external auditors find them. We review policies, interview process owners, test technical controls, and deliver audit-ready reports with remediation roadmaps.

• Vendor Risk Management: Assess and monitor the security posture of your third-party vendors. We conduct vendor security questionnaires, remote assessments, and on-site audits for critical suppliers — essential for regulated enterprises.
