What We Do — And Why It Matters

IT General Controls are the technology controls that financial statement audits, SOX compliance, Companies Act requirements and RBI/SEBI regulations depend on. Change management, access controls, computer operations and application development controls form the foundation of financial reporting. ITGC failures lead to qualified audit opinions and regulatory action.

Our certified professionals follow internationally recognized methodologies — OWASP, NIST, PTES, OSSTMM and OWASP MASVS. Every engagement is manual-first: real experts thinking like attackers, not just running automated scanners. We are CERT-In empanelled — every report we issue is accepted by RBI, SEBI, IRDAI and all major Indian regulators.

Every Engagement Includes

  • ITGC assessment for SOX, Companies Act, RBI and SEBI requirements
  • Change management control testing
  • Logical access control review and user access testing
  • Computer operations and batch job monitoring review
  • Application development lifecycle controls
  • Deficiency classification (control deficiency to material weakness)
  • Management letter and remediation guidance
  • Coordination with external financial statement auditors
