System Audit Report support for payment-data localization.
The obligation
What SAR / Data Localization asks of you.
Payment system operators in India are required to store the full end-to-end transaction data of a payment system exclusively within India, and to submit a System Audit Report (SAR) — conducted by a CERT-In empanelled auditor — confirming that data-localization requirement is actually met in practice, not just claimed in a data-processing agreement. This applies whether the operator runs its own infrastructure or relies on a cloud provider with regional presence, and "the backup copy is also in India" is part of what gets verified, not assumed.
How TriNetra maps to it
SecurityBoat's CERT-In empanelment qualifies our team for exactly this SAR engagement, delivered through PTaaS with a full evidentiary trail: scope, testing history, findings, and closure, all append-only.
TriNetra's SAR-aligned assessments verify data-residency claims directly against the infrastructure — which cloud regions, which providers, which disaster-recovery paths — rather than relying on a vendor's stated architecture, and CCV tracks data-localization controls on an ongoing basis, catching a misconfigured backup job or a newly added cross-region replication route before it becomes next year's audit finding.
Keep evidence current between audits with Continuous Controls Validation.
