Need for a Cyber Security Framework for Banks

The use of information technology in the banking sector has grown significantly, becoming a crucial part of everyday operations. However, with increased reliance on digital infrastructure, banks are becoming prime targets for cybercriminals.

The financial services industry is the most targeted sector, with banks facing seven times higher chances of being attacked via phishing emails that spoof bank brands. Securing your digital assets and infrastructure is no longer optional—it's a necessity.

How the Cyber Security Framework Works

Our approach to auditing the Cyber Security Framework for Banks is based on key audit domains, segregated according to the bank’s level (Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, or Level 4). These domains address critical aspects of cybersecurity, from risk management to compliance, helping banks assess the effectiveness of their security controls.

Audit Methodology

The audit process follows these core steps:

Audit Initiation
We share audit charter with the auditee highlighting the roles and responsibilities of the audit function as well as the audit objectives.
Document
Requirement List
We provide Auditee a DRL highlighting the required policies and further analysis of the same will be performed in line with the compliance.
Identification &
Analysis
Quantitative/Qualitative Risk Assessment will be conducted for every business process in scope and risk will be analyzed.
Risk Response
Action points as well as risk response methodology will be suggested via GAP Assessment Report and an action plan will be asked from the auditee.
Post-Deployment
Review
We Conduct review again post-deployment of the mitigations.

Each step helps in determining the strength of existing IT security measures, assessing compliance, and offering recommendations for improvement.

RBI Circulars on Cybersecurity Controls for Banks

The following circulars have been issued by the RBI and regulatory bodies, setting basic cybersecurity controls for banks:

Cyber Security Framework in Banks: DBS.CO/CSITE/BC.11/33.01.001/2015-16

Cyber Security Controls for Third Party ATM Switch Application Service Providers:DoS.CO/CSITE/BC.4084/31.01.015/2019-20

These frameworks guide banks on implementing robust security measures and maintaining a secure operating environment.
