SEBI’s Cybersecurity and Cyber Resilience Framework (CSCRF) sets a unified and comprehensive benchmark to help regulated entities (REs) safeguard their digital infrastructure, maintain business continuity, and reinforce investor trust. The framework consolidates all previous cybersecurity guidelines and introduces a structured, maturity‑oriented model focused on anticipating, defending, responding to, and recovering from cyber threats.
Nishaj Infosolutions enables organizations to fully comply with SEBI’s CSCRF requirements through specialized audits, cybersecurity services, documentation support, and end‑to‑end compliance management.
Overview
SEBI mandates annual system audits for stockbrokers and MIIs to ensure the robustness, security, and compliance of IT systems.
Continuous Monitoring Support via exchange‑integrated audit portals
Under CSCRF, all SEBI‑regulated entities must undergo periodic cybersecurity audits.
Under SEBI’s Cybersecurity and Cyber Resilience Framework (CSCRF), establishing a Security Operations Center (SOC) is a mandatory requirement for all regulated entities (REs). The SOC forms the backbone of continuous threat monitoring, rapid incident response, and overall cyber resilience across the securities Third Party ecosystem.
Why SOC Is Central to SEBI’s CSCRF
SEBI’s objective is to create a unified defense landscape across stock exchanges, clearing corporations, depositories, brokers, and other intermediaries.
A SOC ensures:
To support smaller REs, SEBI also permits onboarding Third‑Party SOCs (Third Party SOCs / M‑SOCs). These offer baseline compliance but may not address each entity’s specific cybersecurity challenges—making the choice of SOC model crucial.
Build a SOC That Goes Beyond Compliance
Whether you opt for a Third‑Party SOC or build your own dedicated SOC, SEBI requires you to maintain continuous monitoring, rapid detection capabilities, and structured incident response workflows.
SEBI mandates that all digital platforms of REs be accessible to persons with disabilities, aligned with WCAG 2.1 & GIGW guidelines.
