SEBI CSCRF Compliance

SEBI CSCRF Compliance with CyberCube

Get Started

The Cyber Security and Cyber Resilience Framework (CSCRF) is a proposed regulatory framework prepared by SEBI to bring about security posture and resilience among the regulated entities (REs). It is a broad guideline aimed at ensuring that the financial institutions are proactive, well-prepared, and committed to the prevention, detection, and mitigation of cyberattacks. It acts as a measure to maintain stability and integrity in the financial market.

The CSCRF compliance requirements of SEBI relate to several regulated entities in the financial ecosystem, such as:
