Compliance Gap Mapping

Control-by-control mapping of your current posture to the applicable regulatory framework, with clear remediation guidance.

Request this service → See our approach

Overview

Know exactly where you stand against the rules.

Before you can comply, you need a precise picture of where you fall short. Gap mapping translates a dense regulatory framework into a clear, control-by-control view of your status.

We map your existing controls against the applicable framework, rate each gap, and give you a prioritised path to full compliance — often the first step in a larger regulatory programme.

Regulatory drivers

Why this is required

Where multiple regulations apply, mapping them to a single control set shows exactly where you stand and avoids duplicated effort; it is the practical first step before any remediation programme.

RBI / SEBI / IRDAI / CERT-In

The Indian regulatory frameworks most commonly mapped against.

ISO/IEC 27001

A common control baseline that many frameworks can be harmonised onto.

Contractual obligations

Client and partner security requirements are mapped alongside the regulations.

How we work

A disciplined, repeatable method.

A rigorous lifecycle that gives you a result you can stand behind.

FAQ

Common questions

Is this an audit?

Not in the formal sense. It is a focused gap assessment — lighter and faster than a full audit — that measures your current controls against a chosen framework to show exactly where you stand. It is often the planning step that comes before a formal audit, so you fix the obvious gaps first and walk in prepared.

Which frameworks can you map to?

We can map against any of the major Indian regulatory frameworks we work with — including RBI, SEBI, IRDAI and CERT-In requirements — as well as international standards like ISO 27001 and SOC 2. Where several apply at once, we harmonise the shared controls so you see a single, deduplicated view.

What do we get?

You receive a clear, control-level gap map showing your status against each requirement, along with a prioritised roadmap to close the gaps in a sensible order. Where multiple frameworks are in scope, the mapping shows where one control satisfies several obligations, so you avoid duplicated effort.
