Updated
Reviewed by CyberWave GRC's lead auditor (CISA, CISM, CCISO, HITRUST CCSFP & CHQP, ISO/IEC 27001 & 42001 Lead Auditor)
Comparing ISO 27001 consultants in India? This guide looks at five firms side by side: services, who certifies, the other frameworks each supports, and how to choose the right partner.
How we compared these firms
We looked at what each firm publicly says about:
- The services it offers for this framework (readiness, implementation, audit or assessment)
- Who issues the final certificate, report or assessment
- The other frameworks it supports
- Where it operates, especially India and the USA
- Whether it offers VAPT, and whether it states CERT-In empanelment
- Anything distinctive it publishes, such as pricing, accreditations or specialisms
We don't rank the firms by score. The right choice depends on your scope, industry, budget and the report or certificate your customers ask for.

Where CyberWave GRC fits
We're a good fit if you need ISO 27001 as part of a bigger picture: SOC 2 for US customers, HIPAA or HITRUST for healthcare, or DPDP for India. One team handles gap assessment through audit support, and we map shared controls once so you don't do the same work twice. If you only need a single ISO 27001 certificate on a tight budget, a smaller specialist may suit you better, and we'll tell you so.
How to choose
- Who will issue the certificate, and is that body accredited?
- What exactly is in scope: sites, systems, teams?
- Are internal audit and management review included?
- Is the timeline realistic for your starting point?
- Will you need SOC 2, HIPAA or HITRUST later? Can the firm map controls across them?
- Is VAPT included, and who performs it?
- What ongoing support is included after certification?
Frequently asked questions
It depends on your needs. Firms commonly considered include KPMG in India for large enterprises, SISA for payments, Kratikal for VAPT-led programs, Tranquility Cybersecurity for published pricing, and CyberWave GRC for multi-framework programs spanning ISO 27001, SOC 2, HIPAA and HITRUST.
No. Only an accredited certification body can issue an ISO 27001 certificate, and it must be independent of the consultant that helped you implement.
Typically 3 to 6 months for most organisations, and longer for large or multi-site scopes. Faster timelines are possible with a strong starting point and a dedicated team.
It depends on size and scope. See our ISO 27001 certification cost in India guide.
