Who We Work With

Built for companies
going global

We work with Indian organisations that need compliance to unlock international opportunities — not just tick a box.

SaaS Companies
Selling to US, UK, or EU enterprise customers who require security certifications before signing contracts.
BPO Organisations
Processing personal data for global clients who need verifiable data protection and security frameworks.
Export-Focused Companies
Indian businesses entering UK, EU, or US markets where compliance is a procurement requirement, not a nice-to-have.
Growth-Stage Startups
Startups scaling fast who need compliance infrastructure in place before their first enterprise deal falls through over a security questionnaire.
What We Do

Three pillars.
Every compliance need covered.

Our service model is built around outcomes, not deliverables. Whatever your compliance challenge, it fits under one of these pillars.

Use Cases

Recognise your
situation?

These are the real scenarios our clients come to us with. If any of these sound familiar, we should talk.

SaaS Deal at Risk
"Our US enterprise prospect requires ISO 27001 before signing."
Your product is ready. Your team is ready. But procurement won't move until you can hand them an ISO 27001 certificate. We get you there without losing the deal window.
ISO 27001 certification pathway scoped within 1 week
EU Market Entry
"We process EU customer data but have no GDPR framework in place."
You're already processing EU personal data — and every day without a proper GDPR framework is a risk. We map your data flows, implement controls, and build the documentation that satisfies EU clients and regulators.
GDPR-compliant data processing framework in 4-6 weeks
DPDP Confusion
"We collect customer data but don't know if we're compliant with the new DPDP Act."
India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 is now law. Most businesses don't know what it actually requires of them. We assess your current practices and give you a clear, actionable picture — no legal jargon.
Full DPDP compliance clarity in 2-3 weeks
Audit Readiness
"We have an ISO 27001 Stage 2 audit coming up and we're not ready."
Whether your audit is in 6 weeks or 6 months, we conduct a pre-audit review, identify and close all nonconformities, and stand beside you on the day. No last-minute surprises.
Audit-ready ISMS with zero open nonconformities

Client Outcomes

What changes when
compliance is right

Close Enterprise Deals Faster
Win procurement at US, UK, and EU enterprises that require ISO 27001 or GDPR as a baseline — not a stretch goal.
Pass Audits Confidently
Walk into certification audits with a battle-tested ISMS, complete documentation, and zero last-minute fire drills.
Reduce Regulatory Risk
Stay ahead of DPDP Act enforcement — penalties reach ₹250 Crore. Proactive compliance costs far less than reactive damage control.
Turn Compliance into a Sales Asset
Lead with your ISO 27001 certificate in conversations — not just respond to security questionnaires after they've already shortlisted someone else.

The people behind
Ethicrypt

VA
Vedant Agrawal
Founder & Lead Consultant
MSc Information Security (UK)
Vedant came back from the UK with one conviction: Indian companies building great products shouldn't lose global deals because of a compliance gap. That belief is the foundation of Ethicrypt.

He brings hands-on expertise across ISO 27001 implementation, GDPR, and data protection frameworks — trained to both design security systems and evaluate them against real certification requirements. His approach is direct and practical: compliance should work in the real world, not just on paper.

He works closely with founders and leadership teams to make security and compliance part of how a business operates — not an afterthought before a big deal.

FAQ

Questions we get
asked most

What's the difference between ISO 27001 and the DPDP Act?
ISO 27001 is an international standard for managing information security across your entire organisation — it covers how you protect all types of information, not just personal data. The DPDP Act is India's law specifically governing how you collect, store, and process personal data of Indian citizens. They overlap but aren't the same. Most serious organisations need both — ISO 27001 for enterprise client credibility, and DPDP compliance for legal obligation.
Do we need GDPR if we're an Indian company?
Yes — if you collect, store, or process personal data of EU residents, GDPR applies to you regardless of where your company is based. This is extremely common for Indian SaaS companies with European customers and BPOs processing EU client data. Non-compliance can result in significant fines and, more practically, your EU enterprise clients will simply walk away if you can't demonstrate GDPR compliance.
What happens during the free gap assessment?
It's a 30-minute conversation — no forms, no questionnaires, no sales pitch. We ask about your current security practices, what compliance targets you're working toward, any upcoming audits or customer requirements, and your timeline. At the end, you'll have an honest picture of where you stand and exactly what would be involved to reach your goal. No obligation to proceed.
We've already started ISO 27001 implementation — can you help us finish?
Absolutely. We regularly take over mid-implementation projects — whether you've stalled, lost your internal champion, or simply want a more experienced pair of eyes before the audit. We'll review what you have, identify gaps, and get you across the line.
How much does ISO 27001 implementation cost?
Engagement fees depend on the size of your organisation, the complexity of your operations, and how much groundwork is already in place. We don't publish fixed prices because giving you a number without understanding your situation would be doing you a disservice. What we can say is that our fees are structured for growing Indian companies — not enterprise consulting day rates. Book a free gap assessment and we'll give you a clear, honest estimate.
