What Is Managed Compliance Services? Why Is it Important
SISA Managed Compliance Services
Forensics-Driven Compliance Management That Monitors, Updates, and Enforces Controls Continuously.
When compliance runs on deadline pressure, not continuous control
Most organisations treat compliance as a periodic event. The gaps between audit cycles are where risk accumulates undetected.
An Integrated Framework for End-to-End Compliance Management
Our three-fold framework is designed to manage end-to-end compliance needs through applied insights from breach investigations and real-world threat modelling.
- Discover – Identify scope, requirements, applicable regulations (e.g., PCI DSS, ISO 27001, etc.).
- Design – Develop policies, controls, templates, and compliance frameworks.
- Implement –Deploy controls, monitor processes, support remediation.
- Validate – Conduct internal audit, risk validation, and finalize reports.
- Manage – Ensure continuous compliance, reporting, and advisory support.
- Planning – Understand client landscape and regulatory drivers to define advisory scope.
- Analysis – Review current practices and map gaps against compliance requirements.
- Advisory Workshops – Conduct focused sessions to provide domain-specific recommendations.
- Documentation – Tailored consulting outputs to support remediation and readiness.
- Ongoing Consultation – Provide periodic strategy reviews on changes in regulations or business.
- Scoping – Define audit boundaries, applicable standards, and in-scope assets/entities.
- Gap Assessment – Identify control weaknesses through evidence review and interviews
- Remediation Consultation Support – Offer advisory on addressing identified gaps.
- Revalidation – Reassess remediated items to confirm closure and effectiveness.
- Reporting – Compile and issue final audit report with ratings, observations, and summary.
