    The Problem

    Compliance built on Excel and prayer.

    The compliance pain that large enterprises solve with 10-person teams and ₹50 lakh annual consultant spend is currently solved by Indian SMEs with Word docs, WhatsApp threads, and last-minute external auditors.

    01

    Policies in random Drive folders

    Word docs scattered across 4 drives, written by 3 people in 3 formats. Nobody knows which version is current.

    02

    WhatsApp acknowledgements

    "Everyone has read the policy" is not audit evidence. WhatsApp confirmations don't survive a security review.

    03

    10-day questionnaire turnaround

    A 200-question security questionnaire from an enterprise client takes 10–15 working days. Deals get lost.

    04

    Audit panic 60 days out

    External consultants hired weeks before the audit. Last-minute scrambling. Fees of ₹2 lakh+. Failed certifications.

    The 8 Modules

    Everything you need to stay
    audit-ready.

    Eight integrated modules cover the entire compliance lifecycle of an Indian IT SME — from policy drafting through audit evidence to client questionnaires.
