FAQ

Common questions

How long does ISO 27001 certification take?

ISO 27001 implementation typically takes 4–8 months: gap assessment (2–4 weeks), policy development (4–6 weeks), control implementation (8–12 weeks), internal audit (2–3 weeks), and certification body audit (Stage 1 + Stage 2). We manage the entire process and coordinate with your chosen certification body.

What is the difference between SOC 2 Type I and Type II?

SOC 2 Type I is a point-in-time assessment confirming controls are designed correctly. SOC 2 Type II covers a period (typically 6–12 months) confirming controls operated effectively throughout. Most enterprise customers require Type II, which is more credible and comprehensive.

Does the India DPDP Act 2023 apply to my company?

The DPDP Act applies to any entity processing personal data of individuals in India — regardless of where your organisation is located. If you collect names, phone numbers, email addresses, or any data from Indian individuals (customers, employees, users), you are likely a Data Fiduciary under the Act.

Can you act as our outsourced Data Protection Officer?

Yes. For Significant Data Fiduciaries required to appoint a DPO, and for organisations wanting DPO oversight without a full-time hire, we offer outsourced DPO services — providing legal and technical guidance and acting as the point of contact for the Data Protection Board of India.
