RBI’s Cyber Security Framework in Banks (2016) requires a board-approved cyber security policy distinct from the broader IT policy, a cyber crisis management plan, continuous surveillance through a security operations centre, an IT architecture conducive to security, and prompt reporting of cyber incidents to RBI. It is supplemented by graded frameworks for urban co-operative banks and by later RBI directions.
We assess your controls against the baseline requirements and annexes, strengthen your cyber crisis management plan, run tabletop exercises and help you prepare for supervisory reviews.
Who it is for
- Commercial banks and small finance banks
- Urban co-operative banks under the graded framework
- Bank technology and SOC service providers
What you gain
- Inspection-ready cyber governance
- A tested cyber crisis management plan
- Incident reporting that meets RBI timelines
How we get you compliant
Applicability and scoping
Confirm whether and how the law applies to you, entities, data, systems, roles and territories.
Data and process mapping
Build a record of processing or control inventory so obligations can be tied to real systems and owners.
Gap assessment
Measure current practice against each obligation and rank the gaps by legal and business risk.
Remediation roadmap
Policies, notices, contracts, technical controls and governance, sequenced so the highest risks close first.
Evidence and ongoing monitoring
A compliance calendar, metrics and periodic reviews so you can demonstrate compliance to a regulator or customer at any time.
