Consulting Services

Senior security expertise across leadership, compliance, architecture, and programme development — on retainer or project basis.

vCISO / CISO-as-a-Service

Experienced CISO on a monthly retainer — providing security strategy, board-level reporting, security programme ownership, vendor evaluation, and incident response leadership. Typically 4–8 days per month engagement.

Security Programme Development

Design and implementation of an enterprise information security programme — policies, procedures, risk framework, security awareness, and governance structure aligned to ISO 27001, NIST CSF, or CERT-In guidelines.

DPDPA 2023 Compliance Advisory

Gap assessment against Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 obligations — data inventory and mapping, consent mechanism review, breach notification readiness, Data Protection Officer (DPO) advisory, and remediation roadmap.

Security Architecture Review

Review and redesign of network security architecture — firewall placement, DMZ design, microsegmentation, identity-based access, cloud security, and SD-WAN security overlay. Deliverable: revised architecture + implementation roadmap.

CERT-In Compliance Advisory

Mapping your IT security controls to CERT-In's Information Security Practices — gap identification, control design, compliance evidence preparation, and representation support for CERT-In interactions.

Security Awareness Programme

Employee security awareness training design and delivery — phishing simulation, classroom/online training, sector-specific threat scenarios (banking, manufacturing, government). Measurable behaviour change metrics.

Engagement Models

Three structured ways to engage Ogma's consulting practice — matched to your security programme maturity and budget.

Monthly Retainer (vCISO)

Ongoing monthly engagement — typically 4–8 days per month. Covers strategy, governance, vendor reviews, board reporting, and incident response leadership. Best for mid-size enterprises without a CISO.

Project-Based

Fixed scope, defined deliverable, fixed price. E.g. DPDPA gap assessment + roadmap, security architecture review, ISO 27001 readiness assessment. Typically 4–12 week engagements.

Embedded Consultant

Full-time or near-full-time consultant embedded in your team for a defined period — leading a specific initiative such as SOC build, cloud security programme, or regulatory response. Day-rate billing.

Why Ogma for Security Consulting

Practitioners, Not Just Advisors

Ogma's consultants have hands-on technical backgrounds — they've deployed the firewalls, built the SOCs, and run the incident responses they now advise on. Not paper-based framework consultants.

Sector Expertise

Banking (RBI CSF, PCI-DSS), manufacturing (OT/ICS), healthcare (DPDPA, HIPAA-equivalent), government (CERT-In, GFR). Sector-specific compliance is built into every engagement.

Independent Vendor Advice

Ogma is a multi-vendor partner (Fortinet, CrowdStrike, Cato, Cisco). Security architecture advice is genuinely technology-neutral — we recommend what's right for your environment, not what maximises our margin.

Audit-Ready Deliverables

All consulting deliverables are designed for regulatory audit readiness — gap reports, risk registers, policy documents, and control evidence packages that stand up to CERT-In, RBI, and internal audit scrutiny.

Board-Ready Communication

vCISO engagements include board and leadership-level reporting — translating technical security posture into business risk language that boards, audit committees, and CEOs can act on.

Continuity of Engagement

Retainer engagements ensure the consultant understands your environment deeply over time — not a one-time report that collects dust. Quarterly reviews, annual programme updates, and incident response availability included.

Frequently Asked Questions

A vCISO is an experienced CISO available on a part-time retainer — typically 4–8 days per month. It's ideal for mid-size enterprises that need CISO-level strategy, governance, and incident response leadership but don't have the budget for a full-time CISO. Ogma's vCISO retainer delivers the same outcomes at a fraction of a full-time hire — share your scope and we'll quote the right cadence within 2 hours.

Yes. Ogma's DPDPA advisory covers: data inventory and classification, consent mechanism review, privacy notice assessment, breach notification readiness (72-hour obligation), Data Protection Officer advisory, and cross-border transfer controls. Deliverable includes a gap report and remediation roadmap.

Yes. Ogma has OT/ICS security experience — Purdue Model segmentation, IT/OT DMZ design, asset inventory for OT, and IEC 62443-aligned security programme development. OT security consulting is available as a standalone engagement or as part of a broader vCISO retainer.

The deliverable includes: current-state architecture diagram, gap analysis against best practices (NIST, CIS, CERT-In), risk-ranked findings, recommended future-state architecture diagram, and a prioritised remediation roadmap with estimated effort and cost.

Most vCISO engagements begin within 5–7 business days of agreement — an onboarding call, environment briefing, and initial risk assessment in week one. No lengthy procurement or onboarding process.
