We have won the Global Quality Challenge award of one of the

Further significant initiatives of the Company towards quality are:

1) Certifications:

The Company's quality management systems (QMS) that
forms the backbone of all the processes and the way day-
to-day operations are carried out is a very comprehensive
and robust standard that draws from a host of international
standards and benchmarks. This includes ISO 9001:2015, SEI
CMMI, ITIL, Agile, ISO 20000 and so on. Your Company's QMS
is at the highest maturity level, Level 5 for CMMI Ver 2.0 SVC
model. This covers almost all the locations and services that
we cater to. The QMS has also been successfully assessed and
certified for ISO 9001:2015. During all the surveillance periodic
assessment audits, there has been no major non-conformity
observed. All the new centers that we added in the financial
year have also been successfully assessed and certified to the
above international standards.

In alignment with our environmental and sustainability
commitments, we have achieved accreditation for our
management systems under ISO 14001, the internationally
recognized standard for Environmental Management Systems.
Additionally, we have received certification under ISO 45001,
the global standard for Occupational Health and Safety
Management Systems (OHSMS).

As you are aware, with the growing complexity of the digital
economy, the threat on the information security and data also
increases in terms of complexity and impact. Your Company
is fully aware of this challenge and we constantly keep
upgrading our information security management systems
(ISMS). Our operations and ISMS have been successfully
assessed and are compliant to ISO 27001:2013, SSAE 16
SOC 1 and SOC2 and HIPAA requirements. As you would be
aware, these standards are extremely important for Financial,
Insurance and Healthcare industries. The Organization is in
the process of upgrading ISO 27001:2013 to the latest 2022
version. The Livonia and Philipines operations have also been
successfully assessed and certified to PCI-DSS requirements.

The IPR products, TruCap+ and TruBot, TruAI and FINATO have
also been successfully assessed for SOC2+ requirements. The
Company got certified to the requirements of CyberEssentials

Government-backed certification scheme that helps keep
an organisation's and your customers' data safe from cyber¬
attacks. It provides a more comprehensive demonstration of
an organization's security controls against common cyber
threats. These certifications go a long way in establishing
credentials of our cyber security preparedness especially for
the European zone.

Our commitment to ensure a robust information security
management system for our customers has been bolstered
by these certifications. We have implemented Security
Information and Event Management (SIEM) solution as
well which will further strengthen the Information security
management. Since COVID 19 lockdown and remote working
methodology, there has been a palpable increase in the
threat to information and data security. Pre-empting such
threats, we have secured our networks further, addressed
end point vulnerabilities and implemented mechanisms and
tools to address advanced persistent threats (APTs) from all
kind of malware attacks. The Company recently implemented
EDR (End point Detection and Response) and MDR (Manage
Detection and Response) solutions to further enhance our
preparedness to any malware threats. We also implemented
(MFA) Multiple Factor Authentication solutions to further
enhance access and security controls around sensitive
data and information being processed by the company.
Vulnerability and penetration tests (VA/PT) are carried out
regularly through internal as well as external agencies to
make sure that our networks and servers are robust to any
malicious attacks. We have tied up with an Industry Leader in
the space of Cybersecurity management systems Upguard, to
monitor and manage our security robustness. We also have a
collaboration with leading SOC provider to assess, advise and
act on any security threats to our networks. We are proud to
share that the current score of 871 / 950 and a rating of A is well
above the average score of 668 for the industry. There is an
increased focus on employee awareness around information
security as well for proactive and preventive measures such
as phishing simulations to thwart any malicious attack. There
is a conscious thrust on risk management as an organization
strategy and the risks and mitigation plans are reviewed
regularly at all pertinent levels.

A lot of thrust has also been put in enhancing the overall
project management skills of our project managers through
formal PMP certification from PMI, USA.

GDPR REGULATIONS AND DATA PRIVACY ACT

As you would be aware, General Data Protection Regulations
(GDPR), the most important regulation around data privacy in
the European Union region came into force a couple of years
back. All our contracts with the customers in the EU region have
been revised to incorporate the requirements of GDPR. Our
processes have been further strengthened around the GDPR
requirements. A dedicated Data Protection Officer (DPO) has
been appointed to address issues, if any, raised around GDPR
compliance. All the relevant employees and management
have been trained on GDPR principles and requirements.
GDPR awareness is an integral part of the employee induction
program.

We are also gearing our processes to address all the
requirements of the Data Privacy Act of India. We are in
the process to get assessed and certified to Data Privacy
standard, ISO 27701.

2)    Customer Satisfaction Tracking:

As you're aware, your Company conducts customer
satisfaction surveys at the end of every major milestone to
assess customer's perception of our services. The wholly
automated survey asks the customers their feedback on a
range of parameters that measure their near and long term
perceptions about the Company.

We feel proud to share with you that we continue a stellar
performance on this count. Your Company scored 5.32 on
overall satisfaction rating on a scale of 1-6, 1 being the lowest
and 6 being the highest. Another highlight of this survey has
been that more than 85% of the respondents have rated us

Delighted. 64 customers have rated us as delighted on all the
parameters. Over 60% of respondents expressed "Insist" and
"Prefer" to work with Datamatics on Quality of Engagement

make during their interaction with us, is extremely critical.
Customer Experience, apart from the feedback on the hard
deliverables, is an integral part of these surveys. We are glad
to share that the results are extremely positive on this front.
Apart from this, the more frequent and real time Customer
Feedback Capture mechanism that captures feedback
through other formal and informal channels also reports

DATAMATICS' INSIDER TRADING POLICY FOR REGULATION OF
TRADING BY INSIDERS

Datamatics' Compliance Team has formulated an Insider Trading
Policy for Directors and employees in compliance with the SEBI
(Prohibition of Insider Trading) Regulations, 2015.

The policy lays down guidelines, which advises the insiders on
procedures to be followed and disclosures to be made, while
dealing with the Company's securities. The policy clearly specifies,
among other matters, that "Designated Persons" including
Directors of the Company can trade in the Company's securities
only when the 'Trading Window' is open. The trading window is
closed during the time of declaration of financial results, dividends
and other important events as mentioned in the policy.

STRUCTURED DIGITAL DATABASE FOR PREVENTION OF INSIDER
TRADING PRACTICE

In accordance with the Securities and Exchange Board of
India (Prohibition of Insider Trading) Regulations, 2015, ('SEBI PIT

Regulations') as amended, the Company has customized a
secure Insider Trading Compliance Tool (InsiderLens Software)
which is maintained in house to prohibit insider trading activity.
The Company has in place a structured digital database wherein
details of designated persons along with connected persons with
whom UPSI is shared on a need to know basis and for legitimate
business purposes is maintained with time stamping and audit
trails to ensure non-tampering of the database.

The Insider Trading Policy for Regulation of Trading by Insiders is
available on our website athttps://www.datamatics.com/about-
us/investor-relations/corporate-governance.

The Compliance Team conducts regular awareness initiatives by
circulating emails to designated employees on the Company's
Prohibition of Insider Trading Policy. Additionally, a comprehensive
training module on the policy has been developed and made
accessible to all employees via the Company's intranet portal,
"Pulse." These measures have effectively mitigated the risk of

2025-26, there were no reported instances of insider trading
violations.
