Fixing the boundaries
Systems, data, owners, processes, access roles, integrations, current documents, information security and technical limitations.
Result: Map of the outline and applicable requirements.When it becomes a management task
The page is useful for companies where information security already affects money, timing of product launches, access to tenders, relationships with large customers, or readiness for audits. Typically, such a task simultaneously involves the CISO, CIO, legal function, compliance/GRC, internal audit, IT systems owners, procurement and business line managers.
Typical signal: there are requirements, documents are partially available, protective equipment has been partially purchased, but no one can quickly answer which systems are included in the environment, what data is processed, who is the owner of the risk, where is the evidence of the implementation of measures and what will happen during an inspection or incident.
What is cyber compliance in enterprise
Cyber compliance is a managed compliance with information security requirements, which can be proven not only by the text of the policy, but also by the actual operation of the systems. In a mature enterprise architecture, compliance is related to the asset catalog, access roles, network segmentation, logging, incident response, DevSecOps, SIEM/SOAR, IDM/PAM, DLP, data masking, backup, and system owner processes.
The main mistake is to treat compliance as a separate folder of organizational and administrative documentation. Documents are needed, but they must coincide with how the site, CRM, ERP, 1C, SAP, HR, DWH/BI, RAG, AI assistants, personal accounts and integrations actually work.
IS
Information security: protecting the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data, systems and processes.
GRC / SGRC
Governance, Risk and Compliance and Security GRC: managing requirements, risks, controls, exceptions, responsibilities and evidence.
SOC, SIEM and SOAR
Security Operations Center, Security Information and Event Management and Security Orchestration, Automation and Response: event monitoring, investigation and response automation.
CII, ISPDn, GIS
Critical information infrastructure, personal data information systems and government information systems: regulated environments where formal and technical protection measures are needed.
SZI and CIPF
Information security tools and cryptographic information protection tools: from access control and NGFW to VPN, HSM, WAF, DLP, endpoint and database protection.
Evidence pack
Package of evidence: documents, screenshots, downloads, logs, control matrices, inspection protocols and links to systems confirming compliance with requirements.
Russian regulatory contours
In Russian practice, it is important not just to name the law, but to understand the applicability of the requirements to a specific system, data, industry and role of the organization. RESTART starts with boundaries: what processes are critical, what data is processed, what systems are involved, who is the owner, what measures have already been implemented and where changes are needed.
| environment | What is checked by meaning | Landmarks |
|---|---|---|
| PDn and ISPDn | Purposes and grounds for processing personal data, consent, roles of the operator and processors, security levels, threat model, protection measures, access, logs, storage and deletion. | Federal Law No. 152-FZ, FSTEC order No. 21, practice of Roskomnadzor and FSTEC. |
| CII | Critical processes, CII objects, categorization, threat model, technical protection measures, response, logs, operation and readiness to prove the controllability of the environment. | Federal Law No. 187-FZ, FSTEC order No. 239. |
| GIS and government contours | Security class, organizational and technical measures, administration, access control, logs, operational procedures and confirmation of compliance with requirements. | Current FSTEC requirements for GIS and other information systems of government agencies, including FSTEC order No. 117 of 2025; applicability is checked along the environment. |
| financial institutions | Information threat risk management, compliance assessment, control of protective measures, logging, incidents, operational reliability and sustainability of payment/banking processes. | GOST R 57580.1, GOST R 57580.2, regulations of the Bank of Russia. |
World landmarks and benchmarks
International practices are useful not as a replacement for Russian requirements, but as a language of maturity: how to manage risks, controls, evidence pack, third parties, incidents and cyber resilience at the level of the entire organization.
| Landmark | How we use RESTART in projects |
|---|---|
| NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 | We use it as a management framework for conversation with CIO, CISO and business: governance, risk management, prioritization, communication and maturity roadmap. |
| ISO/IEC 27001:2022 | We take the logic of the information security management system: organizational context, risks, controlled processes, responsibility and continuous improvement. |
| CIS Controls v8 | Used as a practical checklist for assets, accounts, configurations, logs, vulnerabilities, email/web, endpoint and incident response. |
| IBM Cost of a Data Breach 2025 | We take into account that immature AI governance and weak access control increase the cost of incidents; this is an argument in favor of managed AI and security automation. |
| Verizon DBIR | We use DBIR as an external reference for real-life attack and leak scenarios to check not only documents, but also practical security controls. |
How RESTART works
Looking for gaps
We compare documents, architecture, settings, logs, roles and actual operation with requirements and internal policies.
Result: risk register and gap matrix.Designing controls
We formulate targeted measures: HLD/LLD, information protection system/cryptographic information protection system, SIEM/SOAR/SGRC, IDM/PAM, DLP, masking, processes and evidence pack.
Result: roadmap of implementation and acceptance.We put it into operation
We help implement measures, set up controls, prepare documents, train those responsible and link compliance with the regular work of IT and information security.
The result: a verifiable and maintainable environment.How AI helps
AI does not replace the lawyer, auditor, CISO, or risk owner. But in a large organization, it helps well where manual work turns into endless tables: comparing requirements and controls, searching for gaps in policies, classifying assets and documents, preparing draft evidence packs, analyzing audit protocols, quickly responding to security questionnaires and monitoring changes in requirements.
For RESTART, a safe mode for using AI is important: approved sources, RAG on the internal knowledge base, access rights, logging, human review, a ban on automatic legal conclusion and separate control of data that goes into the model.
What does the business get?
| Business effect | What is changing in practice |
|---|---|
| Less hassle before inspections | Documents, controls, logs and process owners are linked in advance, and the evidence pack can be updated regularly. |
| Launch new services faster | AI, ERP, 1C, SAP, CRM, personal accounts and BI receive information security requirements at the start, and not before the industrial release. |
| The procurement and implementation of information security systems is clearer | Products are selected based on threat model, architecture, operation and control points, and not on a “buy everything from the list” principle. |
| Higher trust of large customers | The team responds faster to information security questionnaires, tender requirements, vendor due diligence and internal audit requests. |
| More AI and data driven | There are rules for RAGs, corporate assistants, logs, masking, access to sources and human verification. |
First step
It is rational to start with diagnostics: do not try to implement all measures at once, but quickly collect a picture of the current state and applicable requirements. For CII/Federal Law No. 152-FZ this is usually 10-15 working days; for an AI environment or a separate system - the format can be narrowed to secure audit or discovery.
As a result, the customer receives a environment map, a register of requirements, a list of gaps, elimination priorities, recommendations for documents and technical measures, a preliminary roadmap and a clear scope of the next stage.
Technological pillar of compliance
Compliance cannot be closed only by regulations. Depending on the environment, RESTART connects the requirements with the technology map: information security and cryptographic information protection, NGFW and WAF, DLP and DBF/DAM, masking, endpoint, IDM/PAM, SIEM/SOAR/SGRC, vulnerability management, DevSecOps and AI support for GRC processes.
The technological basis is selected not by brand, but by applicability: what data we protect, what threats are relevant, what classes of measures are needed, what products the customer already has, what can actually accompany the operation and what evidence will be required during verification.
External perimeter and demonstrable compliance
Information security compliance becomes stronger when the requirements are confirmed by a technical picture: what public services exist, who is the owner, what vulnerabilities are open, what risks are accepted and what is being fixed. External perimeter audit provides evidence for internal audit, SGRC, threat model, VM program and audit preparation.
Frequently asked questions
How is cyber compliance different from an information security audit?
The audit shows the condition and gaps at the time of the audit. Cyber compliance adds a regular management model: requirements, owners, controls, evidence pack, timelines for resolution, reports and a repeatable process.
Do I need to implement SGRC right away?
Not always. Sometimes a register of requirements and a clear evidence pack are enough. An SGRC platform is needed when there are a lot of requirements, there are several environments, repeated checks, many owners, and manual control no longer scales.
Is it possible to combine Federal Law No. 152-FZ, CII and internal policies?
Yes, but not by mechanically combining documents. It is necessary to build a matrix of requirements, identify intersections, exceptions, responsibilities, evidence and technical measures for each environment.
Can AI evaluate compliance itself?
No. AI can speed up the search for gaps, preparation of drafts, classification of documents and comparison of controls, but the final conclusions must be confirmed by customer specialists and RESTART after the examination.
What is considered a good result of the first stage?
Not a promise “everything fits”, but a clear map: applicable requirements, real systems, gaps, priorities, quick measures, roadmap, responsible and evidence pack that can be developed.
Does RESTART provide a legal opinion?
A public page does not constitute legal advice. In the project we work at the intersection of information security, IT, architecture, documents and implementation; legal conclusions are formed after examination and verification of applicable requirements.
