SEBI Clarifies Scope of CSCRF, Recognizes RBI Oversight

SEBI has clarified the scope and applicability of its Cybersecurity and Cyber Resilience Framework (CSCRF), emphasizing its focus on systems used exclusively for SEBI-regulated activities. The framework aims to standardize cybersecurity practices across entities, incorporating critical systems, zero-trust principles, and disaster recovery benchmarks. #SEBI #CSCRF #cyberresilience

Keypoints

  • SEBI’s CSCRF applies to systems used solely for SEBI-regulated activities, excluding overlapping responsibilities with other regulators.
  • Shared infrastructure not overseen by RBI or another authority will fall under CSCRF audit requirements.
  • The framework defines critical systems as those impacting core operations, data, or hosting internet-facing applications.
  • Regulated entities are encouraged to implement zero-trust security measures and develop cyber crisis management plans.
  • Disaster recovery mandates require resumption of critical operations within two hours and data recovery within 15 minutes.
