June 20, Bengaluru – SISA, a global forensics-driven cybersecurity solutions company, has been awarded at the ET BFSI FinNext Awards 2025 in the category of Excellence in Risk & Compliance Automation – RegTech, recognizing its pioneering work in simplifying regulatory audits with its Unified Audit solution with SISA Assistant.
This recognition comes at a time when organizations, particularly in digital payments and BFSI are buckling under the weight of fragmented, repetitive, and high-stakes compliance demands. A staggering 29% of companies have lost business opportunities due to missing certifications, highlighting how compliance has evolved from a backend obligation to a front-line business enabler. Nearly 70% of service organizations must comply with six or more frameworks and despite 60% – 80% overlap in requirements, most still duplicate efforts across standards. The result: inefficiency, higher costs, audit fatigue, inconsistent controls, and increased risk of non-compliance and regulatory scrutiny.
SISA’s award-winning Unified Audit solution was built precisely in response to this challenge. It introduces a first-of-its-kind evidence-level mapping model. Instead of preparing for each standard separately, organizations can now validate a single set of evidence across multiple frameworks thereby eliminating duplication and enabling “one checklist, one audit, multiple reports.” With this model, evidence uploads once validated, are intelligently mapped to all applicable compliance standards thus dramatically reducing rework, accelerating timelines, and minimizing the need for multiple audit teams.
Dharshan Shanthamurthy, Founder & CEO, SISA says of the initiative “At SISA, we’ve always believed that compliance shouldn’t be a fragmented burden but a streamlined, strategic enabler of trust. The vision behind Unified Audit is to help organizations stop chasing standards in silos and instead build a cohesive compliance posture that evolves with the regulatory landscape. This is our step toward reshaping how the industry approaches audit readiness – intelligent, connected, and future-proof.”
At the core of this solution is SISA Assistant 3.0, a cloud-based compliance management platform that blends AI-powered automation with the domain expertise of SISA’s forensics and audit professionals. It automates up to 40% of workflows, from document collection and control mapping to validation and report generation. It’s a leap from traditional compliance methods to a single, intelligent, future-ready audit engine that gives organizations and assessors alike a clear, real-time view of compliance posture thereby minimizing surprises and eliminating the delays that traditionally come with fragmented audits.
This evolution marks SISA’s strategic shift from being a trusted compliance services provider to a solution partner, one that brings together intelligence, technology, and advisory to address real-world challenges.
Early adopters of SISA Assistant 3.0 have reported up to a 35% improvement in resource utilization by eliminating redundant work and centralizing evidence collection. More significantly, by reducing human dependency in documentation and enhancing visibility into compliance progress, compliance failure risk has dropped by 15 – 20%. These gains go beyond productivity; they translate directly into reduced audit timelines, lower consulting costs, and better regulatory preparedness.
