Frequently Asked Questions

An independent review of how well your cybersecurity governance, risk management and technical controls are designed and operating against agreed criteria. It produces evidence-based findings and a remediation roadmap.

No. A penetration test tries to exploit specific weaknesses. A cybersecurity audit reviews the wider control environment, including governance, processes and evidence. Penetration testing can be added where exploitability needs to be confirmed.

Common criteria include ISO/IEC 27001, the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, CIS Controls and sector requirements such as those from RBI, SEBI or IRDAI. The criteria are agreed during scoping.

Timing depends on scope, the number of locations and systems, and how readily evidence is available. QRC confirms a timeline after scoping.

A detailed audit report with risk-rated findings for control owners, and an executive summary for leadership and the board.
