Effective
31 JUL 2026
RBI's 2026 Framework sets a named compliance bar for commercial banks, raising the floor for every framework an organisation might already be certifying against.
Named requirement
SEBI CSCRF
SEBI's Cybersecurity and Cyber Resilience Framework applies its own certification and reporting obligations to regulated intermediaries, layered on top of ISO or SOC 2 work already underway.
Named requirement
DPDPA
India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act adds data-specific obligations that sit alongside, not inside, frameworks like ISO 27001 or SOC 2.
Baseline
6 HR WINDOW
CERT-In's breach-notification requirement applies regardless of which framework certification an organisation holds.
Global reach
MULTI-JURISDICTION
PDPL, PIPEDA, FADP, and CPRA extend similar obligations across the Gulf, Canada, Switzerland, and California — relevant wherever an organisation's customers or data actually sit.
The framework, mapped to what you actually run
What does ISO 27001:2022 readiness involve?
ISO 27001 certifies that your organisation runs a functioning Information Security Management System (ISMS) — not just a set of technical controls, but the policies, risk assessment process, and continuous improvement cycle that keep them effective.
The 2022 revision restructured Annex A into four themes (organisational, people, physical, technological) and added new controls for cloud security, threat intelligence, and data masking. We build your ISMS against the current version, not the outdated 2013 structure.
A certificate is not the same as a defensible control
Framework compliance is increasingly tested against real incidents and regulator review, not just an annual paperwork cycle — the gap between certified and defensible is where exposure lives.
SIRI Security delivers ISO 27001:2022 to this standard directly — practitioner-led, documented, and connected to SIRI Law LLP's legal and regulatory response if a finding ever needs to go further.
What organisations get wrong
Four assumptions that undermine framework compliance
Most compliance gaps aren't about missing intent — they're about mapping a framework to controls that were never actually tested.
01 — SCOPE
“One certification covers all our obligations”
ISO 27001, SOC 2, and sector-specific frameworks like SEBI CSCRF or IRDAI overlap but rarely substitute for one another — each names its own evidence requirements.
02 — EVIDENCE
“Our policies are written, so we're compliant”
Auditors increasingly test whether documented controls are actually operating, not just whether the policy document exists.
03 — TIMELINE
“We can start the certification process closer to the deadline”
Gap remediation, evidence collection, and audit scheduling routinely take longer than expected — starting late is the most common cause of a missed certification cycle.
04 — SCOPE
“Our home jurisdiction's framework is all that matters”
Global customers or data flows can bring PDPL, PIPEDA, FADP, or CPRA obligations into scope even for an India-headquartered organisation.
What ISO 27001:2022 covers
What's included, start to finish
Certification and re-certification support mapped to the framework's actual current requirements.
01
ISMS scope & risk assessment
Defining what's in scope and running a proper risk assessment against it, not a generic template.
02
Annex A control implementation
All 93 Annex A:2022 controls addressed, implemented, or formally excluded with justification.
03
Policy & procedure documentation
The full documentation set an ISO 27001 auditor expects to see.
04
Internal audit & management review
Running the internal audit and management review cycles ISO 27001 requires before certification.
05
Certification body liaison
Coordinating directly with your chosen accredited certification body through Stage 1 and Stage 2 audits.
Evidence, not guesswork
No formal compliance vs. self-managed effort vs. a SIRI-supported programme
The difference shows up at audit time — and at renewal.
| Approach | No formal programme | Self-managed | SIRI ISO 27001:2022 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gap assessment before committing | No | Sometimes | Standard |
| Evidence collection support | None | Internal only | Structured, audit-ready |
| Multi-jurisdiction coverage | No | Rare | Assessed directly |
| Renewal/surveillance support | N/A | Ad hoc | Ongoing |
| Board-level reporting | No | Inconsistent | Included |

Why SIRI for ISO 27001:2022 specifically
Compliance built by the team that also defends it
The evidence built for certification is the same evidence that holds up if a regulator or auditor ever tests it directly.
01
Programmes built by the team that files DPDPA and CERT-In notices
Sneha Iyer, Associate Partner and Head of GRC and Compliance, has delivered ISO 27001, SOC 2, and SEBI CSCRF programmes across the client base this catalogue serves.
02
Financial-sector frameworks covered directly
Deepa Menon, Senior Associate, advises banks, NBFCs, and payment aggregators directly on RBI licensing, SEBI CSCRF, and financial-sector cyber resilience.
03
Findings connected directly to legal exposure
SIRI Security runs under the same roof as SIRI Law LLP — when a finding carries real legal exposure, the engagement can be brought under attorney-client privilege from day one, not bolted on after the fact.
04
Technical controls verified, not just documented
Vikram Rao, SIRI's Head of Cybersecurity, directs offensive security and incident response and leads CERT-In breach containment for enterprise clients.

Week 102
Remediation & Implementation
We help you close the gaps — policy, technical control, and evidence — prioritised by audit risk and effort.
Weeks 2–303
Documentation & Evidence Package
Every control gets the documentation and evidence an external auditor or assessor will actually ask for.
Week 4+04
Audit Support & Certification
We support you through the external audit or assessment itself, and stay engaged through surveillance/renewal cycles.
OngoingFrequently asked
ISO 27001:2022, answered directly
Do we need to already have security controls in place?
No — we build the ISMS from wherever you currently stand, including organisations starting from close to zero.
Which certification body do you work with?
We're certification-body agnostic — we prepare your ISMS to pass an audit from any accredited body and can recommend one if you don't already have a relationship.
How long does certification typically take?
Most first-time certification programmes run 3 to 6 months depending on your current maturity and the framework; renewal/surveillance cycles are faster.
Do you do the audit, or prepare us for it?
We prepare you and support you through it — certification/audit itself is performed by an accredited independent body, which is what makes the certification credible.
