Compliance and Standards
Compliance and Standards Framework
ManageZ is built on a layered compliance architecture that aligns service delivery to internationally recognized frameworks. ITIL 4 governs our service management practices. ISO 42001 ensures responsible, auditable AI governance across all AIOps capabilities. ISO 27001 underpins our information security management. Together, these frameworks provide enterprises with a defensible, audit-ready operational posture.
ITIL 4
Service Value System and Practice Alignment
All service delivery, incident management, change enablement, and continual improvement practices are structured around the ITIL 4 Service Value System (SVS). This ensures co-created value, reduced waste, and measurable service outcomes across the entire SRE engagement lifecycle.
ISO 42001
AI Management System Governance
Our AIOps capabilities, including predictive anomaly detection, automated remediation, and intelligent alerting, are governed under ISO 42001. This means AI model decisions are explainable, auditable, and subject to defined risk controls, meeting enterprise requirements for responsible AI use in production environments.
ISO 27001
Information Security Management
Access controls, data handling, vulnerability management, and security monitoring operate within an ISO 27001-aligned ISMS. This covers AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.2+ in transit, RBAC, breakglass access governance, and continuous security audit evidence collection to support enterprise certification programs.
SOC 2 Type II
Trust Services Criteria
Operations are designed to support SOC 2 Type II readiness across the Security, Availability, and Confidentiality trust categories. Automated audit log collection, policy enforcement, and monthly reporting provide continuous evidence for third-party attestation.
PCI DSS / PCI P2PE
Payment Security and Data Integrity
Purpose-built for regulated industries. ManageZ supports PCI DSS and PCI P2PE compliance through network segmentation, drift prevention, hardened container images, and continuous vulnerability scanning with documented remediation workflows.
GDPR / HIPAA / RBI
Regional and Sector Regulatory Alignment
Data residency controls, log masking, retention policies, and RBAC are configurable to meet GDPR, HIPAA, and RBI requirements. Sensitive data is never exposed in observability pipelines without explicit masking and access governance controls in place.

Common Questions
ManageZ — Frequently Asked Questions
- What does ManageZ's 24/7 NOC cover?
- ManageZ delivers follow-the-sun Network Operations Centre (NOC) coverage from teams in India and UAE, operating across all time zones. Coverage includes AIOps-driven infrastructure monitoring (Prometheus, Grafana, Elastic), ITIL 4-aligned incident and problem management, automated patch management for OS/containers/Kubernetes, FinOps cost governance, and compliance audit evidence collection. Every ManageZ engagement includes monthly SRE reports with SLO adherence, KPIs, and a Continual Improvement Register.
- How does ManageZ achieve up to 99.999% uptime?
- ManageZ achieves high availability through proactive AIOps monitoring with ISO 42001-governed ML models for predictive anomaly detection, automated alert correlation, and autonomous remediation. Infrastructure is Kubernetes-native with blue/green deployments, self-healing clusters, proactive capacity planning, and multi-zone failover. Daily automated backups with integrity checks and a 4-hour PITR data recovery SLA provide the safety net for any failure scenario.
- What is ISO 42001 and why does it matter for AIOps?
- ISO 42001 is the international standard for AI Management Systems — it defines requirements for responsible, explainable, and auditable AI governance. ManageZ is one of the few managed SRE providers to operate its AIOps capabilities under ISO 42001. This means every AI model decision (anomaly detection, alert routing, automated remediation) is documented, explainable, subject to defined risk controls, and auditable by enterprise security and compliance teams.
- What are ManageZ's SLA response and resolution times?
- ManageZ operates ITIL 4-compliant SLAs: Critical (P1) incidents — 15-minute response, 4-hour resolution. High (P2) incidents — 30-minute response, 8-hour resolution. Moderate/Low (P3/P4) — 1-hour response, 24-hour resolution. Any data loss or backup integrity failure triggers an immediate crisis response with a 4-hour recovery SLA. SLA performance is reported monthly with full incident audit trail.
- Which compliance frameworks does ManageZ support?
- ManageZ service delivery is aligned to ITIL 4 (Service Value System), ISO 27001:2022 (Information Security Management), ISO 42001 (AI Management), SOC 2 Type II (Trust Services Criteria), PCI DSS / PCI P2PE, GDPR, HIPAA, and RBI guidelines. Automated audit log collection, continuous compliance posture checks, and monthly attestation evidence are included in every ManageZ engagement.
- How does ManageZ pricing work?
- ManageZ engagements begin with a fixed-price onboarding sprint (typically 2 weeks) during which we instrument your stack, establish SLA baselines, and hand over a 24/7 operations runbook. Ongoing managed SRE is consumption-based — priced per managed application tier — so cost scales with the size of your estate rather than a fixed monthly fee. Contact us for a free discovery workshop and cost estimate.
- How is ManageZ different from AppZ?
- AppZ is the migration and platform engineering product — it builds your Kubernetes infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and DevSecOps automation during the initial cloud adoption phase. ManageZ picks up once the platform is live, providing 24/7 AIOps-driven SRE operations, ITIL 4-aligned incident management, automated patching, and FinOps governance on an ongoing basis. They complement each other: AppZ builds the platform, ManageZ operates it.
