Why weeks, not months

AI-assisted evidence review, one client portal

Every Virtual CISO Mohali 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 you onboard as a vCISO for our Mohali SaaS startup?
Fast-track engagement in 2–4 weeks. We conduct an initial 48-hour posture snapshot, then transition to weekly governance touchpoints. For DPDP Act readiness, we prioritize data inventory and consent mapping in week one, ensuring your Mohali operations meet Act timelines without disruption.
Are you familiar with DPDP Act 2023 and CERT-In directions?
Yes. Our vCISO team actively tracks DPDP implementation guidance, CERT-In vulnerability advisories, and sector-specific mandates. We map your Mohali business model (data flows, third parties, user consent) to Act requirements and embed compliance into architecture, not as an afterthought.
We're a fintech startup in Mohali. Can vCISO cover RBI/SEBI compliance?
Absolutely. Our vCISO service includes RBI MD&A guidelines, SEBI cybersecurity framework, and CERT-In incident reporting protocols. We design access controls, encryption standards, and audit logs to meet fintech sector expectations, with board-ready compliance evidence for investor due diligence.
What's the cost model compared to hiring a full-time CISO?
A vCISO gives you senior security leadership without a full-time hire. No recruitment, benefits, or ramp-up lag. Scalable hours: engage 10, 20, or 40 hours/month based on your Mohali startup's maturity and regulatory burden.
