SEBI CSCRF Compliance
SEBI's CSCRF is a 5-tier framework spanning 22 entity types, mandating VAPT, cyber audit, red teaming, threat hunting, M-SOC, ISO 27001, a CISO, incident reporting and the NIST CSF 2.0 control catalogue. We run gap analysis to full readiness across the entire framework.

Overview
SEBI's Cybersecurity and Cyber Resilience Framework (CSCRF) is one of the most demanding regulatory regimes in India - a 5-tier model across 22 entity types, pulling in VAPT, cyber audit, red teaming, threat hunting, a Market-SOC, ISO 27001, a named CISO and the full NIST CSF 2.0 control catalogue.
We take you from tier classification through gap analysis, technical remediation, M-SOC enablement and the cyber audit itself - assembling the evidence pack SEBI expects. One partner for the testing, the controls and the paperwork.

FAQ
Frequently asked
Do you cover the M-SOC requirement?
Yes - our managed SOC service can fulfill CSCRF's Market-SOC expectations alongside the audit.
What about data localization?
We advise on current status - SEBI's localization mandate has been in abeyance since December 2024 - and design for compliance when enforced.
