The problem

Compliance work is scattered across the organization

Most AMCs already do compliance work. The problem is that the evidence, controls, records and audit trail live in too many places to defend efficiently.

  • Evidence scattered across emails, folders and spreadsheets

    Approvals sit in inboxes, evidence sits in shared drives, status sits in spreadsheets. Reconstructing a control story for an auditor takes days.

  • CSCRF controls tracked manually

    Control libraries live in offline workbooks. Ownership, last-tested dates and applicability drift away from the actual operational reality.

  • DPDP records disconnected from operations

    Processing activities, consent records and breach workflows are maintained separately from the security controls that actually protect that data.

  • SIEM, ITSM, VAPT and logs not linked to audit evidence

    Operational tools produce alerts, tickets and findings, but none of that signal is tied back to the CSCRF control it supports or contradicts.

Audits become last-minute evidence-chasing exercises

When an audit notice arrives, teams scramble across departments to assemble what should have been continuously maintained.

How it works

A five-step workflow from controls to audit-ready evidence

orbitGRC structures the compliance lifecycle so the next audit is a query against a maintained system, not a salvage operation.

  1. 1

    Controls

    Maintain a versioned CSCRF control library with applicability, ownership, frequency and references mapped to your organization.

  2. 2

    Assessments

    Run recurring or ad-hoc assessments against the control library, captured with maker-checker discipline and a clear audit trail.

  3. 3

    Gaps

    Convert assessment findings into tracked gaps with severity, owner, remediation plan, target date and closure evidence.

  4. 4

    Evidence

    Attach approved, classified evidence to each control with ownership, validity period, approver and tamper-evident hashes.

  5. 5

    Audit readiness

    Produce point-in-time, citable evidence packages for internal audit, external audit and regulator queries.

Built for the people who own compliance

One workspace, seven distinct points of view

orbitGRC gives each stakeholder the view they need without forcing them into someone else's tool.

  • Senior Management

CISO

A live view of control posture, open gaps and operational signal mapped to the CSCRF baseline the board cares about.

Compliance Officer

Structured assessments, maker-checker approvals and a defensible record of how each control is interpreted and evidenced.

Privacy / DPDP Owner

Processing-activity registry, consent records, retention schedules and breach workflow tied to the underlying controls.

Vendor Risk Manager

Third-party inventory with onboarding, posture review, contractual obligations and renewal triggers connected to the control register.

Internal Auditor

Independent, read-only audit trail across controls, assessments, evidence and approvals, with point-in-time snapshots.

Senior Management

Executive-level dashboards summarising posture, open risks and regulatory exposure without drilling into operational noise.

Designed to connect to your operational stack

Integration possibilities across the security and IT estate

orbitGRC is structured for AMCs and regulated financial organizations that already operate a real security stack. Where you have signal, orbitGRC is designed to link it back to the relevant control.

  • SIEM

    SIEM

    Link detection-and-response signal to the CSCRF monitoring and incident-response controls that depend on it.

  • ITSM

    ITSM

    Connect change, incident and request tickets so that operational work supporting a control can be referenced as evidence.

  • VAPT

    VAPT

    Pull vulnerability assessment and penetration-test findings into the gap register with severity and remediation tracking.

  • Cloud monitoring

    Cloud monitoring

    Surface configuration posture and platform-level controls from your cloud monitoring stack into the relevant CSCRF control families.

  • Log management

    Log management

    Reference retention, integrity and review evidence from log management platforms as part of audit-ready packages.

  • IAM / SSO

    IAM / SSO

    Authenticate users through your enterprise identity provider with role-based access mapped to compliance responsibilities.

  • Document repositories

    Document repositories

    Reference documents already maintained in your document management systems, with ownership, classification and approval state captured in orbitGRC.

Illustrative example

Fictional example

How a control becomes audit-ready evidence at Nivora

  1. 1
    Mon 09:14 — VAPT finding lands

    Control mapped

    Nivora's compliance team maps a CSCRF monitoring control to the fund-accounting platform, with ownership assigned to the application owner and a quarterly review cadence.

  2. 2
    Mon 10:02 — Control mapped to fund-accounting platform

    Evidence uploaded

    The application owner uploads the latest monitoring configuration, classified appropriately, with a content hash and an approver recorded in orbitGRC.

  3. 3
    Tue 14:30 — Evidence uploaded and hashed

    Gap opened

    An assessment identifies that a portion of the monitoring rule set has not been reviewed within the last quarter. A gap is opened with severity, owner and target closure date.

  4. 4
    Wed 11:15 — Gap opened against monitoring control

    SIEM, ITSM and VAPT signals linked

    Open ITSM tickets covering the rule-set review and a recent VAPT finding on a related host are referenced against the gap so reviewers see the full operational picture.

  5. 5
    Wed 16:40 — SIEM + ITSM tickets linked

    DPDP record maintained

    Because the platform processes personal data, the corresponding processing-activity record is updated, and the breach-notification workflow stays available if monitoring detects an incident.

  6. 6
    Thu 09:00 — DPDP record refreshed

    Audit evidence prepared

    When the internal auditor opens a review window, Nivora generates a point-in-time package showing the control, the evidence, the assessment result, the linked tickets and the gap status.

  7. 7
    Fri 17:20 — AI assistant cites the right evidence

    AI assistant cites evidence

    When a reviewer asks the assistant about monitoring coverage on the fund-accounting platform, it answers using only Nivora's records and cites the specific controls, evidence items and gaps it relied on.

What orbitGRC does that other tools do not

Other tools cover parts of the problem. orbitGRC connects them.

orbitGRC is not a replacement for your security and IT stack. It is the connective layer that turns the work those tools already do into structured, audit-ready evidence.

SIEM says:

Detects security events and raises alerts.

orbitGRC additionally proves

Shows alerts, but does not prove audit readiness.

ITSM says:

Manages tickets for incidents, changes and requests.

orbitGRC additionally proves

Tracks tickets, but does not explain which control a ticket supports.

Document repositories says:

Hold policies, evidence files and approvals.

orbitGRC additionally proves

Store files, but do not prove evidence ownership, approval, expiry or control relevance.

Spreadsheets says:

Track controls, gaps and evidence in offline workbooks.

orbitGRC additionally proves

Are flexible but fragile, manual and weak for audit traceability.

Generic GRC tools says:

Offer a broad framework engine across many regulations.

orbitGRC additionally proves

Are often broad and customization-heavy, with weak alignment to the specifics of CSCRF and DPDP for Indian AMCs.

Integrated workflow — What we do

Connects controls, assessments, gaps, evidence and operational signal into one workflow.

Designed for AMCs and regulated financial organizations, structured for internal and external audit readiness, with permission-aware AI assistance.

Integrated operating model

One connected workspace for compliance, evidence and audit

orbitGRC is designed to link cyber controls, privacy records, vendor risk, incidents, releases, evidence and the audit trail into a single operating model — so the same source of truth supports day-to-day control work and audit-day questions.

Teams can prepare and review their own readiness picture, with traceable links between controls, supporting evidence and the decisions that produced it — helping reduce duplication across cyber, privacy, vendor and engineering workflows.

Responsible AI for compliance

AI assistance with explicit limits

The AI assistant inside orbitGRC is designed to accelerate discovery and explanation, not to issue compliance judgements.

  • AI assists discovery

    The assistant helps users find relevant controls, evidence, gaps and historical decisions inside orbitGRC faster than manual search.

  • AI does not issue compliance verdicts

    The assistant will not declare an organization compliant or non-compliant. Compliance interpretation is a human responsibility.

  • AI responses are permission-aware

    The assistant retrieves only records the requesting user is authorized to see. It cannot surface evidence outside that scope.

  • AI should cite platform records

    Responses reference the specific controls, evidence items, gaps or assessments they were derived from, so reviewers can verify directly.

  • Final decisions remain with authorized officers, auditors and advisors

    orbitGRC supports the people who own compliance. It does not replace their judgement, their sign-off or their statutory responsibilities.
