SEBI Cyber Security Compliance
Ensuring Robust Financial Market Security
To protect the integrity of the financial markets, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) introduced the Cybersecurity and Cyber Resilience Framework (CSCRF) under circular SEBI/HO/ITD-1/ITD_CSC_EXT/P/CIR/2024/113, consolidating cyber security and cyber resilience standards for market intermediaries and businesses under its control. Compliance deadlines are phased by regulated-entity category, from Market Infrastructure Institutions and Qualified REs to Mid-size and Small-size REs. SEBI stresses a proactive approach to addressing cyber risks, guaranteeing data protection, and preserving business continuity in light of the growing digitisation of trading and market activities.
