Regulatory Alignment

Gap Analysis Across 5 Regulatory Frameworks

Most organizations operate under multiple regulatory regimes. DPDP Act, RBI cybersecurity guidelines, SEBI CSCRF, ISO 27001, and ISO 27701. dcomply's Regulatory Alignment Checker runs structured assessments against each framework and generates prioritized remediation reports.

DPDP Act 78%
ISO 27001 65%
RBI 82%
SEBI 58%
ISO 27701 71%

The Problem

One Team, Many Regulatory Masters

Compliance teams are stretched thin trying to satisfy frameworks that overlap, but not perfectly

Multiple Frameworks, One Team

Compliance teams must simultaneously satisfy the DPDP Act, RBI's cybersecurity circular, SEBI's CSCRF, and ISO standards. Without a structured tool, organizations either over-invest in one framework or miss controls across others.

Gap Analysis Takes Months

Traditional compliance gap assessments involve consultants, workshops, and lengthy reports. Organizations need a faster, self-service way to identify their highest-priority gaps.

No Cross-Framework Visibility

Most tools assess one framework at a time. But controls in ISO 27001 often satisfy DPDP Act security requirements, and SEBI's data governance controls align with DPDP principles. dcomply maps these overlaps to prevent duplicate work.

Capabilities

Complete Regulatory Coverage in One Tool

5-Framework Coverage

Assess compliance across: RBI Cybersecurity Framework (12 controls), SEBI CSCRF 2024 (12 controls), ISO 27001:2022 (12 controls), ISO 27701:2019 (10 controls), DPDP Act 2023 Full Checklist (15 controls). Choose one or run all simultaneously.

Yes/No/Partial Response System

Answer each control with Yes (compliant), No (gap), or Partial (in progress). The system calculates your compliance score and gap count instantly, giving you a real-time view of where you stand.

Compliance Score Dashboard

Get an overall compliance percentage with a section-by-section breakdown. Identify which framework areas need the most attention (e.g., "SEBI Incident Response: 40% compliant") so you can allocate resources where they matter most.

Gap Report with References

Every identified gap includes the control description, specific regulatory reference (e.g., "RBI/DPSS/2018-19/116. Data Localisation, Para 4.2" or "SEBI CSCRF 2024, Circular No. SEBI/HO/ITD/ITD_VAPT/P/CIR/2023/033, Section 4.2"), and its current status. Export the full gap report as PDF for auditors, boards, or regulators.

Prioritized Recommendations

AI-generated remediation recommendations ranked by regulatory priority and implementation effort. Focus on the highest-risk gaps first, with specific action items and regulatory section references for each recommendation.

Progress Tracking

Run reassessments quarterly to track compliance improvement. Compare scores across periods with trend charts and milestone markers, demonstrating continuous improvement to regulators and auditors.

How It Works

Gap Assessment in 4 Steps

From framework selection to boardroom-ready gap report, structured assessments that replace months of consultant work.

Select your framework(s)

Choose one or multiple frameworks to assess. RBI for banking organizations, SEBI for capital market entities, ISO 27001 for security certification seekers, ISO 27701 for privacy management, or DPDP Act for all organizations processing Indian personal data.

Complete the control checklist

Answer Yes, No, or Partial for each control. Controls are pre-filled with plain-language descriptions and the specific regulatory reference (e.g., "SEBI CSCRF 2024, Circular No. SEBI/HO/ITD/ITD_VAPT/P/CIR/2023/033, Section 4.2" or "RBI Master Direction on IT Governance, RBI/2021-22/112, Para 2.3").

Review your compliance score

Get an instant score with section-level breakdowns. The system flags your most critical gaps, those with high regulatory penalty exposure or low implementation effort, so you know what to fix first.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

dcomply covers five frameworks: (1) RBI Cybersecurity Framework and Data Localisation requirements, (2) SEBI Cybersecurity and Cyber Resilience Framework (CSCRF) 2024, (3) ISO 27001:2022 (Information Security Management), (4) ISO 27701:2019 (Privacy Information Management), and (5) DPDP Act 2023 full compliance checklist covering Sections 6–16. More frameworks including CERT-In guidelines and NPC standards are being added.

Yes. dcomply lets you run assessments for all five frameworks simultaneously or one at a time. The system maps overlapping controls, for example, ISO 27001 Annex A 5.24-5.28 (incident management) satisfies both ISO requirements and DPDP Act Section 10(c) (breach notification). This prevents duplicate effort and shows your cross-framework compliance posture.

The compliance score is calculated as the percentage of controls answered "Yes" out of the total controls for the selected framework. "Partial" responses are counted as 50% compliant. The score is broken down by section (e.g., Governance: 83%, Incident Response: 50%) so you know exactly where to focus remediation efforts.
