The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has mandated a Cybersecurity and Cyber Resilience Framework (CSCRF) and a Cloud Adoption Framework for regulated entities. For Small and Mid-size SEBI-Regulated Entities, compliance can seem complex, but it doesn’t have to be.
At Techgyan, we simplify this journey using Microsoft Cloud Services, helping organizations meet SEBI requirements effectively, securely, and confidently.
Why SEBI’s Cybersecurity Framework Matters
Cyber threats are increasing in both frequency and sophistication. SEBI’s CSCRF ensures that financial entities build strong cyber defenses, improve data protection, and remain operationally resilient during digital disruptions.
The Shared Responsibility Model
Achieving compliance is a team effort. Here’s how responsibility is shared between:
-
RE (Regulated Entity)
-
Microsoft (Cloud Service Provider)
-
Techgyan (Service Provider & Implementation Partner)
