CISA for DPDPA, RBI & CERT-In Compliance Audits

Delivered by Virtual Infrastructure Services LLC — an accredited ISACA Training Organization.

India's compliance regimes increasingly demand independent, evidence-based information systems audit. The Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) credential validates exactly that capability — and it maps directly to the audits regulated Indian organisations must pass.

CISA and DPDPA 2023

The Digital Personal Data Protection Act makes data fiduciaries accountable for how personal data is processed and protected. CISA-trained auditors assess the controls, evidence and processing activities that demonstrate DPDPA compliance.

CISA and the RBI Master Direction on IT

RBI IS audits increasingly focus on technical evidence — enforced access controls, log integrity, incident-response capability and continuity. CISA gives auditors a risk-based method to plan, execute and report on exactly these areas for banks and NBFCs.

CISA and CERT-In

CERT-In's directions require six-hour incident reporting and 180-day log retention in India. CISA auditors verify that detection, logging and reporting controls are in place and working.

CISA and SEBI CSCRF

SEBI's Cybersecurity and Cyber Resilience Framework calls for periodic audit of cyber controls for regulated entities — squarely within a CISA's remit.

Why regulated entities value CISA auditors

CISA is recognised internationally as the leading IT-audit certification and is often a mandatory requirement for an IS-audit role. For Indian regulated industries, a CISA-certified auditor is assurance that controls are assessed rigorously and consistently.
