Why RBI Cybersecurity Compliance Matters

The business and regulatory case for investing in this service.

01

RBI is actively penalising non-compliant banks

RBI has imposed penalties on multiple cooperative banks for cybersecurity non-compliance in the past 24 months. The enforcement posture has hardened significantly.

02

6-hour incident notification is now law

Missing the mandatory 6-hour cyber incident reporting window is a compliance breach on top of the incident. Most banks don't have a tested IRP to meet this deadline.

03

Annual VAPT is mandatory

RBI mandates annual VAPT for internet-facing systems, quarterly for critical ones. Many cooperative banks still don't have a single VAPT report on file.

What We Assess

Our RBI Cybersecurity Compliance engagement covers all critical areas — nothing is left untested.
