Governance Layer › Security Posture Management
Security Posture Management — Know your posture today, not six months ago
SIRI Security builds continuous Security Posture Management programmes — ongoing scoring, tracking, and reporting on your actual security posture — instead of relying on an annual assessment that's stale within weeks.

Effective
31 JUL 2026
RBI's 2026 Framework requires board-level oversight of cyber resilience, not delegation to IT alone — governance-layer work exists to make that oversight substantive.
Named requirement
SEBI CSCRF
SEBI's framework names governance and reporting obligations for regulated intermediaries beyond technical controls alone.
Baseline
6 HR WINDOW
CERT-In's notification window depends on governance structures — defined roles and escalation paths — already being in place before an incident starts the clock.
Growing gap
62% CLOUD
Cloud misconfiguration and IAM exploitation account for 62% of detections in cloud environments (DSCI) — a governance and posture-management gap as much as a technical one.
Named requirement
DPDPA
India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act expects demonstrable data governance, not just a written policy.
Governance the board can actually act on
What is Security Posture Management?
Security Posture Management is the ongoing practice of measuring, tracking, and reporting your organisation's security posture continuously, rather than relying on a periodic point-in-time assessment that goes out of date as soon as something in your environment changes.
We help define the metrics that actually matter for your organisation, set up the tooling and process to track them continuously, and build the executive reporting that turns posture data into decisions rather than a dashboard nobody looks at.
Maturity is measured, not assumed
62% of cloud detections trace to misconfiguration and IAM exploitation (DSCI) — the class of gap a structured maturity or posture assessment is built to surface before the board is asked to sign off on resilience.
SIRI Security delivers Security Posture Management 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 leave governance underdeveloped
Governance gaps rarely show up until a board is asked a direct question it can't answer.
01 — OVERSIGHT
“IT owns cyber risk, not the board”
RBI's 2026 Framework and SEBI's CSCRF both expect board-level oversight of cyber resilience directly, not a delegated report nobody reads.
02 — MEASUREMENT
“We feel reasonably mature”
Maturity assessed informally rarely survives a structured review — a scored assessment is what turns a feeling into a defensible position.
03 — PLANNING
“Our BCP/DR plan exists, so we're covered”
An untested BCP/DR plan is a document, not a capability — governance work exists to confirm it actually holds up under a real scenario.
04 — DATA
“Our data governance policy covers our DPDPA obligations”
A policy alone doesn't demonstrate the data mapping, retention discipline, and access governance DPDPA increasingly expects to see evidenced.
What Security Posture Management covers
What's included, start to finish
A structured programme the board can actually engage with, not a technical report handed up unread.
01
Posture metric definition
Metrics that reflect your actual risk, not generic vanity numbers.
02
Continuous scoring & tracking
Ongoing measurement rather than a point-in-time snapshot.
03
Tooling integration
Wiring posture data from your existing security tools into a single view.
04
Executive dashboard & reporting
Posture reporting built for leadership decision-making, not just technical teams.
05
Trend & drift analysis
Catching posture degradation early, before it becomes an incident.
Evidence, not guesswork
No formal governance vs. informal effort vs. a SIRI-supported programme
The gap surfaces exactly when a board or regulator asks for a substantive answer.
| Approach | No formal programme | Informal / ad hoc | SIRI Security Posture Management |

| Board-level reporting | None | Occasional | Structured, recurring |
| Scored maturity baseline | No | No | Included |
| BCP/DR testing | No | Rare | Scheduled |
| Regulatory alignment (RBI/SEBI) | No | Assumed | Assessed directly |
| Roadmap with prioritisation | No | Informal | Included |

Why SIRI for Security Posture Management specifically
Governance built by the team that also answers to regulators
The same practice that builds your governance layer files your regulatory filings when a real incident tests it.
01
Programmes built by SIRI's GRC and Compliance lead
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 governance 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 maturity verified, not self-reported
Vikram Rao, SIRI's Head of Cybersecurity, directs offensive security and incident response and leads CERT-In breach containment for enterprise clients.

Security Posture Management, answered directly
Is this a tool we buy, or a service?
This is a services engagement to design the programme and metrics; we can recommend tooling or work with what you already have.
How is this different from bSAFE Security Score?
bSAFE is our specific scoring methodology and benchmark; this service is the broader programme of continuous posture management, which can incorporate bSAFE as one input.
How long does this take?
Most engagements in this category run 3 to 8 weeks depending on organisational size and current maturity.
Who runs this day to day?
A senior SIRI Security governance consultant leads the engagement, coordinating with SIRI Law LLP wherever legal or regulatory interpretation is needed.
