Why weeks, not months

AI-assisted evidence review, one client portal

Every Virtual CISO Hyderabad engagement runs on the Praxis-Q compliance platform. You upload evidence per control, AI scores it against the requirement, and your auditor reviews in the same workflow — from scoping through to the issued, publicly verifiable certificate.

AI evidence scoring

Every upload is scored against the control before an auditor sees it — gaps surface in minutes, not at the review meeting.

One client portal

Scoping, evidence, auditor queries and status live in one place. No email chains, no spreadsheet trackers.

Auditor sign-off

Praxis-Q auditors review inside the same workflow, so review rounds shrink and the certificate issues sooner.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can Praxis-Q's vCISO be operational?
48 hours from contract signature. We maintain pre-vetted senior security leaders ready for immediate onboarding. Initial intake, threat briefing, and governance kickoff happen within 72 hours. Fast-track is standard—no weeks-long recruitment cycles.
Are you familiar with DPDP Act 2023 and CERT-In compliance?
Yes. All Praxis-Q vCISOs are trained on DPDP Act 2023 data principal rights, consent frameworks, and breach notification timelines. We map CERT-In advisory compliance, incident reporting protocols, and critical information infrastructure (CII) obligations for regulated Hyderabad firms.
Is a vCISO right for early-stage Hyderabad startups?
Absolutely. Startups in Hyderabad face investor due diligence (security & compliance) and rapid scaling demands. A vCISO provides credible governance without a full-time hire. Scales down as you mature and hire internal talent.
What happens during a breach—will the vCISO lead response?
Yes. Our vCISO acts as incident commander, coordinates forensics, manages DPDP Act breach notification (24-hour timeline for sensitive breaches), and liaisons with CERT-In if applicable. Includes post-incident board reporting and regulator communication.
