Compliance operations as a service

You don’t need another consultant who hands you a report and disappears. You need someone who runs the operational layer — every week, every month — so your enterprise deals close instead of stalling.

Attri Edge is a single-operator practice focused on one wedge: the India GCC compliance operations layer for US SaaS, fintech, and healthtech companies.

The three operational pillars

Each pillar represents a structural gap that compliance automation platforms (Vanta, Drata, Sprinto, Secureframe) do not solve. Active Retainer clients get all three; Foundational Retainer clients get evidence-cycle support across all three with optional add-ons.

Vulnerability remediation workflow

Compliance platforms ingest vulnerability scanner data. They do not own remediation. We do.

The workflow runs every week:

  1. Scanner data ingestion from Tenable, Qualys, Snyk, AWS Inspector, or whichever scanner you use
  2. SLA assignment by severity — critical (7 days), high (30 days), medium (90 days)
  3. Owner-tagged ticket creation in your Jira, Linear, or ticketing system
  4. Re-scan verification on closure (not “engineer says it’s fixed”)
  5. Monthly remediation report — audit-defensible, ready for any questionnaire

Chain-of-custody evidence trails

Auditors in 2026 are increasingly rejecting screenshot evidence because it lacks timestamps, owner attribution, and immutability. We close that gap.

What we deliver:

  • Audit of every evidence type for timestamp, owner attribution, immutability
  • Replacement of screenshot evidence with logged artifacts
  • Automated re-collection cadences (monthly, quarterly, annual)
  • Evidence binder with verifiable trails — what was done, by whom, when

DPDPA + US framework mapping

India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, has no clean overlap with SOC 2, HIPAA, or GDPR. The cross-mapping work is judgment-heavy and platform-untouchable.

Deliverables per client:

  • DPDPA principles mapped against SOC 2 Privacy, HIPAA Privacy and Security, GDPR articles
  • Data flow diagrams covering US-to-India boundaries
  • India statutory checklist (IT Act, labor law, statutory registers)
  • Significant Data Fiduciary thresholds assessment
  • DPIA templates and walkthroughs

What we don’t do

Disciplined refusal protects the engagement integrity. We decline work that’s outside our wedge.

  • Generic GCC setup, staffing, recruiting, or payroll
  • Pure compliance theory or audit work (we refer to auditor partners)
  • Penetration testing, red team, or technical security implementation
  • Legal advice or named-officer roles (Privacy Officer, HIPAA Officer)
  • HR or labor law consulting
  • Cross-border tax structuring

If you need any of these, we’ll point you to a specialist partner.

Transparent pricing. No lock-ins.

Month-to-month, cancel anytime. Zero termination fees.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can we start?
Most retainers begin within 7 days of the diagnostic. Onboarding sprint kicks off Week 1 of Month 1.

Do you work with companies outside the US?
Primary focus is US-headquartered companies with India GCCs. Secondary: UK and Australia headquartered. Not currently EU or APAC ex-India.

What if we already have a vCISO?
Many of our clients have a US-based vCISO and bring us in for the India operational layer. We collaborate, we don’t replace.

Can you handle HIPAA with PHI flowing to India?
Only for clients with existing Business Associate Agreement infrastructure. For greenfield HIPAA + offshore PHI, we refer to specialist partners.

How does month-to-month actually work?
You can cancel at the end of any month with no penalty. We bill on the 1st for the upcoming month. If you cancel by the 28th of any month, the next month doesn’t bill.

Will you sign an NDA?
Yes, before any substantive technical discussion. Our standard NDA is mutual and one page. We’re also happy to use yours.
