CyberDocs

What CyberDocs does

CyberDocs is a privately held cybersecurity and compliance consulting firm headquartered in Bangalore, India with a US corporate presence in Woodland Hills, California. The company delivers end-to-end compliance and security services to startups and mid-size companies through a five-step methodology (assessment, planning, implementation, validation, continuous compliance). Its service portfolio spans six core areas: ISO certification (27001, 27701, 22301), SOC 2 Type I/II readiness, global privacy and data protection (GDPR, DPDP, PDPL), PCI DSS implementation, AI governance and compliance (ISO 42001, EU AI Act), and security testing/VAPT. The company also navigates Indian sector-specific regulatory audits for RBI, NPCI, IRDAI, and SEBI.

The firm operates as a pure professional-services business with no proprietary technology platform; all work is delivered by a small named team of auditors and framework specialists led by founder Santosh Nandakumar. Despite a team of approximately 5 people, the company claims to have served 500+ clients across 25+ countries. Revenue is generated through engagement-based consulting fees quoted on a per-project basis, with no public pricing, no self-service option, and no channel or marketplace distribution. Go-to-market is sales-led via direct consultation CTAs on the website, LinkedIn outreach, and WhatsApp messaging.

The business model is high-touch consulting targeting compliance-constrained early-stage and growth-stage technology companies, with a stated focus on speed (claimed 5.2x faster than traditional consulting) and audit outcomes (claimed 100% audit success). CyberDocs appears to be founder-operated with no disclosed institutional funding, no parent company, and no subsidiaries. There is no evidence of M&A activity, leadership changes beyond the named team, or external capital raises in the available data.

Broad incumbents
