corporate cyber-attacks are either caused by careless or
negligent employees or by those with malicious intent.
Companies generally focus on the outside and leave the
inside vulnerable.
Today’s cyber threats are far more sophisticated
than ever, current techniques such as rules, signatures,
whitelisting, and sandboxing are no longer sufficient.
To deal with the ever evolving threat vectors there
has to be an integrated approach with security control
implemented across all layers of the infrastructure
working as 1.
“To counter such complex multi-vector security
threats it is vital for organisations to formulate a
comprehensive Cyber Security Strategy, with the
board involvement and approval, traditional silo
based security solutions don’t work anymore, they
add to the technology sprawl and security becomes
un-manageable,” says Pradeep Kumar, the CEO and
Co-founder of BizCarta Technologies.
The Indian Banking sector has taken the lead
of establishing a strategic frame work lead Cyber
Security Policy with RBI providing guidelines on
Information Security which can pro-actively create/
fine-tune policies, procedures and technologies based
on emerging concerns and conceive a Board Approved
Cyber Security Policy.
BizCarta Technologies started operations in 2014
as a pure play Information risk management consulting
services company, operating from Bangalore, providing
high quality cyber security consulting services to
SMBs and large corporate helping
companies establish a robust cyber
security strategy and a road map to
deal with the evolving threats in a
systematic manner
''From our consulting
engagements we have learnt that
the problem today has shifted
from a traditional technology and
product view of security to include
the leadership view of risk to
business. We are seeing a growing
trend of top management interested
in establishing a comprehensive
business aligned Cyber security
strategy and an integrated cyber
defence platform which can evolve
with the growing threat’s rather
than investing in piece meal point
solutions," adds Pradeep.
BizCarta by leveraging its
proprietary Adept 6 Consulting
methodology addresses exactly
this requirement of the board by
providing an outcome based cyber
security strategy and an IT security
road map tightly integrated with the
company’s business.

T
he old ways of implementing security and
compliance mandates are no longer acceptable
and the risk of high profile breaches has never
been greater! Establishing a GRC program
within an organization is not a simple task and it’s also
not a new concept. Companies have been focused on
improving compliance and managing risk for years. Since
GRC programs have many moving parts, organizations are
looking forward to implementing an overarching vision
of how things fit together to maximize value. However,
with increased pressure on budgets, fewer resources and
increasingly frequent audits, organizations today, are in need
to find new ways to close security loopholes and reduce the
window of vulnerability, speed remediation, and reduce the
time and effort required to remain compliant. To add to the
difficulty, the environments they manage are often widely
distributed and subject to multiple regulatory requirements
and internal audit requirements and must adapt to changing
business needs.
To achieve this, a siloed approach towards GRC sector
with well-structured and visible risk reporting frameworks
which can improve accountability and communication
should be implemented. One of the key GRC challenges that
organizations face today is gaining a consolidated view of
risk, compliance and internal controls across the enterprise.
This is when the role of a GRC consultant is inevitable,
these consultants not only help the vulnerable companies to
detect risks well in advance, but also provide effective and
expert solutions to reduce costs, strengthen decision-making
capabilities and improve business performance. Moreover,
a strong GRC discipline can enable them to integrate
inefficient and isolated programs, processes and systems into
effective and efficient enterprise-wide, risk-based internal
control structures.
The current edition of Consultants Review brings to you
“25 most Promising GRC Consultants in India”. The list
accentuates some of the most outstanding GRC consultants in
the industry who are capable of leading their clients towards
