Security built for how your sector actually operates, not a generic template.
A control that works for a SaaS startup can be the wrong priority entirely for a hospital network or a payments provider. SIRI tailors testing, detection, response and compliance work to the regulatory and operational reality of each sector — not a one-size-fits-all playbook.
The same security control can be the right priority in one sector and irrelevant in another
A payments provider and a hospital network don't have the same top risk — but generic security vendors often price and scope as if they do.
Sector context changes almost everything about how a security programme should be prioritised: which regulator's breach-notification clock starts ticking, whether operational technology is in scope alongside IT, whether the top threat is credential theft or ransomware against life-safety systems, and which frameworks an auditor will actually ask about. SIRI builds each engagement around the sector it's actually for.
In 2025 alone, CERT-In processed approximately 29.28 lakh (2,928,000) cybersecurity incidents in India — a volume that lands very differently depending on sector. A financial-services firm's exposure concentrates around fraud, payment-fraud rules and RBI's cybersecurity framework; a healthcare provider's concentrates around patient-data confidentiality and system uptime for care delivery; a manufacturer's concentrates around operational-technology and production-continuity risk. Testing and detection tuned generically miss what each sector actually needs prioritised.
Every SIRI capability — SIRI Attack, SIRI MDR, SIRI Response, and the rest — is delivered with sector context built in: the compliance frameworks that matter, the operational constraints that shape testing windows and rules of engagement, and the threat patterns most relevant to that sector's actual attackers.
What organisations get wrong
Four assumptions that come from treating security as sector-agnostic
Most sector-context gaps come from applying a generic security template to a specific regulatory and operational reality.
“Security testing is security testing, regardless of sector”
A test scoped for a generic web application misses OT-specific risk for a manufacturer, model-security risk for an AI company, and payment-fraud-specific risk for a financial-services firm.
“We'll map to a generic framework and adjust later”
RBI, IRDAI, SEBI and other sector regulators each have specific, different requirements — a generic ISO 27001 or NIST mapping alone can miss sector-specific obligations.
“IT security covers our operational technology too”
Operational technology and industrial control systems in manufacturing and energy have fundamentally different risk profiles, uptime constraints and testing considerations than conventional IT.
“Our AI product is just software — regular AppSec covers it”
AI-specific risks — prompt injection, model integrity, training-data exposure — fall outside conventional application-security testing scope and need dedicated attention.

Evidence, not guesswork
Generic security vendor vs. in-house only vs. sector-tailored SIRI engagement — what actually differs
The building blocks are similar; the prioritisation and compliance mapping aren't.
| Approach | In-house team, generic tooling | Generic security vendor | SIRI Security |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sector-specific regulatory mapping | Depends on in-house expertise | Rare — generic framework overview | Built into scoping |
| OT / ICS-aware testing | Rare unless specialised | Rare | Available where relevant |
| AI-specific security context | Rare unless specialised | Emerging, inconsistent | Dedicated capability (SIRI AI Security) |
| Engagement windows respect sector operations | Varies | Often generic scheduling | Scoped to sector constraints |
| Compliance work tied to actual regulator | Depends on in-house expertise | Generic framework language | Sector-specific (RBI, IRDAI, SEBI, etc.) |

Numbers every board should know
Why sector context changes prioritisation
CERT-In incidents, 2025
Roughly 2,928,000 cybersecurity incidents processed in India in 2025 alone.
Sectors covered
With tailored compliance and threat-context mapping.
Financial regulators (India)
RBI, IRDAI and SEBI each carry distinct cybersecurity obligations.
Consistent capability
The same testing, detection and response capability, prioritised per sector.
Compliance alignment
Standards & frameworks we align to
Our methodology is built around publicly recognised frameworks — not a proprietary checklist. Where a specific certification or attestation is completed and verified, it will be named here explicitly.
Framework references reflect publicly available versions as of publication and describe the standards our methodology is aligned to; they are not a claim of certification, attestation, or audit completion unless stated explicitly elsewhere on this site.
Why sector-tailored security specifically
The same capability, prioritised for what your sector actually faces
Sector context changes prioritisation, not the underlying capability.
Regulatory fluency
Compliance work mapped to the regulator that actually governs your sector, not a generic framework summary.
Operational awareness
Testing windows, rules of engagement and monitoring tuned to your sector's operational constraints — including OT/ICS where relevant.
Threat-pattern relevance
Detection and testing prioritised around the threat patterns most relevant to your sector's actual attackers.
One ecosystem, sector fluency across it
Every SIRI capability — from SIRI Attack to SIRI Response — is delivered with the same sector context, not re-explained each time.

OngoingFrequently asked
Industry-specific security, answered directly
Do you work with sectors not listed on this page?
Yes — the sectors listed are the most common, but the underlying capability and compliance-mapping approach extends to other regulated or operationally-distinct sectors on request.
How does sector context actually change an engagement?
It changes prioritisation, compliance mapping and operational constraints — for example, testing windows for a manufacturer account for production continuity, while a financial-services engagement is scoped against RBI's cybersecurity framework specifically.
Do you handle operational technology (OT) and industrial control systems?
Yes, where relevant — OT/ICS-aware testing and cyber-resilience planning are part of the critical-infrastructure and manufacturing sector offering.
Is AI-specific security part of the technology-sector offering?
Yes — AI companies and technology firms shipping AI in production get access to SIRI AI Security's dedicated model, LLM and agentic-security testing capability.
Which regulators does SIRI's compliance work map to?
Depending on sector: RBI, IRDAI and SEBI for financial services and insurance in India, CERT-In for public-sector and general incident-reporting obligations, plus ISO 27001, SOC 2 and NIST CSF as cross-sector frameworks.
