Compliance frameworks all ask the same questions. Access security answers them.

Mapped at clause level to ISO 27001, DPDPA, SOC 2, RBI, SEBI CSCRF and IRDAI, with the evidence each one asks for.

Every framework wants to know who could reach your data and systems, whether that access was authorised, whether it was reviewed, how it was used, and whether you can prove any of it after the fact. They arrive from different directions and use different language. The controls underneath do not change. Run them once in Akku and the technical half of every framework you are measured against is one implementation, producing its own evidence as the access happens.

The five questions, and what answers them

01Who could reach your data and systems?IAM governs workforce access to applications. PAM governs privileged access to servers, databases and admin consoles. The list includes the accounts that usually go unlisted: contractors, shared administrator logins, and anyone who was granted access for a project that ended.
02Was that access authorised?IAM enforces entitlements by role and conditions each request on device, network, location and time. IGA is where those entitlements are requested, approved and recorded. CIAM holds customer consent and honours its withdrawal, because for personal data consent is the authorisation.
03Was it reviewed?IGA runs access certification campaigns, blocks segregation-of-duties conflicts before access is granted, and closes entitlements when someone changes role or leaves. A review that happened is a record, not an assurance.
04How was that access used?PAM records privileged sessions, capturing keystrokes and database queries. DLP inspects content leaving through email, endpoints, the network and cloud applications. UEM and MDM control what runs on managed devices and hold them to a hardening baseline.
05Can you prove all of it?Every action across every module leaves a record written as it happens, and reports run as standing queries against those records.

One control set behind all of it

IAM for sign-in and access. IGA for entitlements and review. UEM and MDM for devices. DLP for data movement. PAM for privileged sessions. CIAM for customer identity.

One platform, one console, one agent on the endpoint carrying UEM, DLP and PAM.

What sits outside

Akku is not a GRC platform and it is not a security operations centre. Most of what sits outside is manual by nature: risk assessment, internal audit, management review, the decisions and approvals an ISMS is made of. The rest needs different tools, from document management to physical access control and disaster recovery.
