Why weeks, not months

AI-assisted evidence review, one client portal

Every Virtual CISO Mumbai 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 a vCISO be operational for my Mumbai business?
Praxis-Q ensures vCISO availability within 2 weeks post-engagement. Initial compliance audit and strategy session occur in week one. This fast-track approach keeps your organisation compliant with DPDP Act timelines and CERT-In advisory response requirements.
Are your vCISO services DPDP Act 2023 certified?
Yes. Our vCISOs stay current on DPDP Act 2023 requirements—data processing agreements, consent logs, grievance redressal—and integrate them into your privacy-by-design policies. We ensure your data handling practices meet India's stringent personal data protection standards.
Can a vCISO help with CERT-In incident reporting?
Absolutely. Our vCISOs coordinate breach incident response, manage CERT-In notification timelines, and liaise with law enforcement if required. We maintain audit trails and documentation for regulatory scrutiny—critical for Mumbai's regulated financial and e-commerce sectors.
What is the cost difference versus hiring a full-time CISO in Mumbai?
A vCISO gives you executive-level security leadership without a full-time hire, strategy, and incident response without benefits, HR overhead, or onboarding delays. Scalable hours match your organisational growth.
