RBI Cybersecurity Framework — common questions
What are the core requirements of the RBI Cyber Security Framework?
The RBI Cybersecurity Framework (2016) and subsequent circulars require banks to: establish a baseline cybersecurity framework assessed at one of four maturity levels, set up a 24x7 Security Operations Centre (SOC), implement security incident detection and response capabilities, conduct regular VA/PT, and report cyber incidents to RBI CSITE (Cyber Security and Information Technology Examination). ManySignal addresses the SOC, detection, and incident reporting requirements.
Does ManySignal satisfy the RBI's 24x7 SOC requirement?
Yes. ManySignal provides the agentic SOC capability — AI agents that monitor, triage, and respond autonomously 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. For banks meeting the RBI requirement via an in-house SOC augmented by ManySignal, the platform reduces the analyst headcount required for 24x7 coverage significantly. For banks using an MSSP, ManySignal is deployed as the MSSP's platform and inherits the MSSP's 24x7 coverage obligation.
How does ManySignal address RBI's requirement for an Adaptive Cyber Capability maturity level?
The RBI Cybersecurity Framework assesses banks across five maturity levels: Starter, Intermediate, Developed, Advanced, and Adaptive (the highest). Adaptive maturity requires: advanced threat intelligence integration, automated defence mechanisms, and sophisticated analytics. ManySignal's AI-powered triage, threat intelligence integration, and automated response capabilities directly contribute to achieving Adaptive maturity in the detection and response areas.
What is the cyber incident reporting timeline for RBI-regulated banks?
The RBI Master Direction on Cyber Security Framework requires banks to report cyber security incidents to RBI CSITE as soon as they are detected, and no later than 2 to 6 hours depending on incident severity. ManySignal's incident management tracks RBI-specific severity classifications and triggers the appropriate notification within the required window. The CSITE incident report template is pre-populated from case data.
Does ManySignal also support SEBI CSCRF for broker-dealers and mutual funds?
Yes. See /compliance/sebi-cscrf for the SEBI Cyber Security and Cyber Resilience Framework mapping. ManySignal supports both RBI and SEBI regulated entities — with AWS Mumbai deployment for India data residency meeting both regulators' localisation requirements.
