GRC consulting services help organisations design, implement, and maintain the governance structures, risk management processes, and compliance frameworks they need to operate securely and pass regulatory audits. White Aegis delivers end-to-end GRC consulting — from initial gap assessment to audit preparation — for enterprises across India, the United Kingdom, the Middle East, Singapore, and North America.
Governance, Risk and Compliance — GRC — is the integrated approach that connects how your organisation makes decisions (governance), how it identifies and manages threats (risk), and how it meets its legal and regulatory obligations (compliance).
For most businesses, GRC starts as a requirement — a customer asks for your ISO 27001 certificate, a regulator issues a directive, or a deal stalls because you cannot produce a SOC 2 report. But organisations that treat GRC as a business capability rather than a compliance deadline gain something more valuable: they stop losing deals to competitors who have their documentation in order, they pass audits without emergency fire drills, and they build the kind of documented security posture that enterprise customers and investors trust.
The stakes are higher than they used to be. India's DPDP Act 2023 carries penalties up to ₹250 crore. The RBI's 2026 Cybersecurity Directions are immediately enforceable. SOC 2 has become a de facto entry requirement for selling to US enterprise clients. And ISO 27001 is now a procurement filter across the UK, EU, and Singapore. A GRC programme built on solid foundations answers all of these — once — rather than scrambling to meet each requirement separately.
We work across the full range of internationally recognised security and privacy frameworks. Every engagement starts with understanding which frameworks you actually need — not selling you certifications you do not.
The international standard for information security management systems. Required or strongly preferred by enterprise procurement teams in the UK, EU, Singapore, and the Middle East. If you sell B2B and your clients are asking for it, this is the certification that removes the obstacle.
The standard US enterprise clients require from SaaS companies and IT service providers before signing contracts. Type II covers a minimum 6-month observation period and demonstrates that your security controls operate consistently — not just that they exist on paper.
Mandatory for any organisation that processes, stores, or transmits payment card data. Non-compliance is not just a regulatory risk — it is a contractual obligation with your payment processor that can result in fines and loss of card acceptance rights.
The Reserve Bank of India's binding cybersecurity directions for commercial banks, covering 233 paragraphs across governance, VAPT, incident response, CSOC requirements, and third-party risk. Effective immediately as of July 2026 with no transition grace period.
India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act creates legal obligations for any entity processing personal data of Indian citizens — regardless of where the organisation is based. Penalties reach ₹250 crore for significant breaches.
The US federal security standard widely adopted by global enterprises and organisations with US government exposure. Increasingly used as a baseline for enterprise risk programmes outside the US.
The privacy extension to ISO 27001 — certifies that your information security management system covers personal data protection. Relevant for organisations with GDPR, DPDP Act, or cross-border data obligations.
Business Continuity Planning and Business Impact Analysis — the governance layer that ensures your organisation can operate through disruptions. Required by several regulatory frameworks and increasingly demanded by enterprise clients and insurers.
We do not hand you a framework document and leave. Every GRC engagement follows four phases designed to take you from where you are today to audit-ready.
White Aegis serves clients across India, the United Kingdom, the Middle East, Singapore, and North America — markets where regulatory compliance and enterprise security standards directly affect revenue, contracts, and regulatory standing.
Our clients include commercial banks, NBFCs, insurance companies, fintech startups, SaaS companies selling to enterprise clients, IT and ITES firms, healthcare providers, and manufacturing enterprises. We have implemented GRC programmes for organisations ranging from 30-person startups preparing their first SOC 2 to large banks building full RBI-compliant governance frameworks.
We do not specialise in one industry because information security risk is not industry-specific. What we do specialise in is translating complex regulatory frameworks into controls that actually work in your environment.
Most GRC programmes produce documentation that sits on a shelf and controls that exist only on paper. Three things consistently cause this.
White Aegis exists to solve all three. We bring implementation experience — not just advisory frameworks — so your GRC programme produces working controls, accurate documentation, and a team that understands what they are maintaining and why.
The timeline depends on the framework, scope, and your organisation's current security maturity. ISO 27001 implementation for a focused scope typically runs 4 to 9 months; a broader programme covering multiple frameworks or a larger organisation will take longer depending on the scale of implementation. White Aegis conducts a gap assessment at the start of every engagement so you have a realistic, scoped timeline before any implementation work begins.
ISO 27001 is an internationally recognised standard that certifies your Information Security Management System meets a defined set of controls. SOC 2 is a US-origin attestation that an independent auditor evaluates your controls against the Trust Services Criteria — most commonly required by US enterprise clients from SaaS vendors and IT service providers. Many organisations pursue both: ISO 27001 for global credibility, SOC 2 for US market access.
Internal teams understand the business and are essential to a successful GRC programme. What they often lack is specialist framework knowledge, audit experience, and the bandwidth to run an implementation project alongside business-as-usual. White Aegis works alongside your internal team — not instead of them — to provide the specialist input and project momentum that turns a compliance initiative into a certification.
Yes. Gap assessments, policy development, risk register management, evidence collection, and audit preparation are all delivered remotely with no reduction in quality or rigour. We work with clients across multiple time zones and regularly support organisations in the UK, Middle East, Singapore, and North America.
A gap assessment maps your current controls, policies, and practices against the requirements of your target framework — ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI-DSS, or others. The output is a prioritised gap register that tells you exactly what is missing, what needs to be updated, and what is already compliant. It is the starting point for every White Aegis GRC engagement and gives you a clear picture of effort and timeline before committing to implementation.
