SEBI CSCRF Compliance Checklist for 2026: What Regulated Entities Must Have in Place

A control-by-control audit checklist for every SEBI-regulated entity tier — mapped to what auditors actually look for in FY 2026-27.

Executive Summary

The August 2025 implementation deadline has passed. There are no further blanket extensions. For every SEBI-regulated entity, the question is no longer "when do we need to comply" — it is "can we demonstrate it in audit."

The SEBI CSCRF Compliance Playbook covered the framework structure, entity categorization, and what CSCRF mandates at a strategic level. This checklist is the next step. It gives CISOs, compliance leads, and IT Committee members a control-by-control reference — organized by entity tier — with clear notes on what auditors look for as evidence.

The FY 2025-26 audit cycle's half-yearly reports were due by 31 March 2026. The next cycle deadline is 30 June 2026. FY 2026-27 planning should start now.

Use this checklist to identify gaps, brief your IT Committee, and prepare evidence folders before your CERT-In empanelled auditor walks through the door.

How to Use This Checklist

Step 1 — Confirm your category. Entity thresholds were revised in April 2025. Your category is fixed at the start of the financial year based on prior-year data. If you hold registrations under multiple categories, the provisions of the highest category apply.

Step 2 — Go to your section. Items are tagged by tier so you can scan quickly:

Tag	Entity Tier
`[MII]`	Market Infrastructure Institutions (exchanges, clearing corporations, depositories)
`[QRE]`	Qualified Regulated Entities (large brokers, QSBs, KRAs, large REs above defined thresholds)
`[Mid]`	Mid-size Regulated Entities
`[Small]`	Small-size Regulated Entities
`[Self]`	Self-Certification Regulated Entities
`[All]`	Applies to every tier

Step 3 — Check evidence. Each item includes an Audit evidence note. This is what you need in a folder, not just in practice.

Step 4 — Log open items. Anything unchecked is a finding. Treat it the same way you treat a VAPT finding — assign an owner, set a closure date, get IT Committee sign-off if it cannot be closed within three months.

Note: Standalone Investment Advisers (IAs) and Research Analysts (RAs) registered only in those capacities were exempted from CSCRF in the April 2025 revision. If you hold dual registrations, verify your applicable category before proceeding.

Checklist 1: Governance and CISO

Applies to: [MII] [QRE] — and in reduced form to [Mid]

CISO Appointment

CISO is a full-time, dedicated appointment. Part-time CISOs and CISOs shared across multiple organizations are explicitly prohibited under CSCRF. A remote CISO is permissible only if dedicated exclusively to one organization.
- Audit evidence: Appointment letter, HR contract, org chart
CISO seniority is at least equivalent to CTO or CIO. This must be reflected in grade, standing, and compensation band — not just the title on an org chart.
- Audit evidence: Org chart with reporting lines, board resolution on CISO appointment and role scope
CISO reports directly to MD/CEO (or ED for REs with dual RBI/SEBI obligations). The reporting line must reflect reality, not just paperwork. Auditors may ask the CISO directly about escalation paths.
- Audit evidence: Board-approved governance document, org chart

IT Committee

IT Committee constituted with board approval. [MII] [QRE] [Mid]
- Audit evidence: Committee charter, board resolution
At least one independent external cybersecurity expert on the IT Committee.
- Audit evidence: Expert's credentials, engagement letter, attendance records
IT Committee meeting minutes on file. Minutes must record cybersecurity policy reviews, incident summaries, audit finding discussions, and escalations to the Board.
- Audit evidence: Signed meeting minutes, dates of last four meetings

Cybersecurity Policy

Cybersecurity policy is board-approved and current. Reviewed within the last 12 months. Covers all CSCRF-mandated areas: access control, incident response, data classification, third-party risk, and change management.
- Audit evidence: Signed policy document with version date, board approval resolution

Cyber Capability Index (CCI)

CCI assessment completed within the mandated period. [MII]: third-party assessment, half-yearly. [QRE]: self-assessment, annually. Scores documented and submitted with the cyber audit report.
- Audit evidence: Completed CCI assessment, submission acknowledgment

Checklist 2: Asset Inventory and Classification

Applies to: [All]

IT asset inventory is complete and current. Covers all hardware, software, APIs, digital assets, and cloud resources. Updated at a defined cadence (at minimum, after any significant infrastructure change). Smaller REs with minimal IT setups may maintain this in a spreadsheet, provided it is kept current.
- Audit evidence: Asset register with last-updated date and owner
Critical systems list is board or IT Committee approved. Classification follows CSCRF definitions — systems whose failure would materially impact securities market operations are critical. Ancillary systems connected to critical systems must also be assessed.
- Audit evidence: Signed classification document, board/IT Committee approval
Cryptographic asset inventory maintained. Documents all cryptographic mechanisms in use — by application, purpose, key type, algorithm, and certificate expiry. Applies to data in transit, data at rest, authentication systems, and communication channels.
- Audit evidence: Cryptographic asset register, last review date
Post-quantum cryptography (PQC) risk assessment completed. Cryptographic assets assessed for PQC migration priority based on data sensitivity and threat exposure. "Harvest now, decrypt later" scenarios included in the risk register.
- Audit evidence: PQC risk assessment document
Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) obtained for all critical applications. Covers in-house developed and third-party software used for core and critical operations. For legacy systems where SBOM cannot be obtained, the Board/Partners/Proprietor must formally approve the exception with documented rationale and risk management approach.
- Audit evidence: SBOM files or repository, board approval for any SBOM exceptions

Checklist 3: SOC and SIEM Coverage

Applies to: [All] — requirements scale by tier

A SOC contract is not the same as SOC coverage. This is the most common gap Cyberaube identifies during CSCRF readiness assessments.

SOC Operation

SOC is operational and monitoring critical systems continuously. [MII] and [QRE]: dedicated in-house or group SOC. [Mid] [Small]: Market SOC (M-SOC via NSE or BSE) is acceptable as an alternative.
- Audit evidence: SOC service agreement or internal charter, evidence of 24/7 monitoring coverage
Automated compliance dashboard integrated with log aggregator. [MII] [QRE] Mandatory per CSCRF. Manual SOC reporting is insufficient for these tiers.
- Audit evidence: Dashboard screenshots, log aggregator integration confirmation
SOC efficacy report filed within mandated period. Required for all entity tiers. Global organizations with centralized SOCs may submit global efficacy data provided global controls are uniformly applied.
- Audit evidence: Filed SOC efficacy report, submission timestamp

SIEM Log Coverage

All critical log sources are ingesting into the SIEM. The following are mandatory per CSCRF guidelines — not optional: system logs, application logs, network logs, database logs, security logs, performance logs, audit trail logs, and event logs.
- Audit evidence: SIEM data source inventory, sample ingestion confirmation for each source type
Identity and privileged access logs are feeding the SIEM. Authentication successes and failures, privilege escalation events, session starts/ends from IAM and PAM systems (CyberArk, Okta, SailPoint, IBM Verify, etc.) must be part of the correlation pipeline — not siloed in IAM platforms.
- Audit evidence: SIEM data source list showing IAM/PAM log sources, sample correlated events
Application-layer events are monitored. Network and endpoint logs alone are insufficient. Application event logs, particularly for internet-facing and critical business applications, must flow through the SOC.
- Audit evidence: Application log source list in SIEM
Log integrity and confidentiality is maintained. Logs must be tamper-evident and transmitted securely. Retention periods must cover long-dwell attack scenarios.
- Audit evidence: Log retention policy, integrity mechanism documentation (e.g., hash validation, WORM storage)

Checklist 4: VAPT and Patch Management

Applies to: [All]

VAPT Scheduling and Execution

VAPT is scheduled with a CERT-In empanelled IS auditing organization. The same auditing organization cannot be engaged for more than three consecutive years. After three years, a two-year cooling-off period applies before re-engagement.
- Audit evidence: Engagement letter, CERT-In empanelment confirmation of the auditor
VAPT frequency matches entity tier. [MII] [QRE] and REs with IBT or Algo trading: half-yearly. All other REs: annual. Qualified Stock Brokers: half-yearly regardless of broader category. VAPT is also required after every major system release.
- Audit evidence: VAPT schedule, completion certificates for each cycle
VAPT covers both Dynamic Analysis (DAST) and Static Analysis (SAST) for critical applications. For COTS and in-house developed software, CERT-In empanelled auditors must conduct both test types.
- Audit evidence: VAPT report clearly indicating DAST and SAST coverage

Patch Management and Finding Closure

High-severity patch-related vulnerabilities closed within one week. This is the hardest SLA in CSCRF and the most frequently missed. High-severity findings from non-implementation of patches must be resolved within seven days of the VAPT report.
- Audit evidence: Patch management logs, change control records showing closure dates
All other VAPT findings closed within three months. Open findings at the three-month mark require CISO sign-off and must be addressed before the next cycle. The closure timeline is graded by criticality — critical findings have shorter windows than medium findings.
- Audit evidence: Finding tracker with closure dates, CISO sign-off on any extended items
VAPT findings are integrated into the change management workflow. VAPT findings tracked separately from the change management process will fail this control. Remediation must flow through the same patch and change management pipeline as any other system change.
- Audit evidence: Change management records referencing VAPT ticket IDs
Patches tested in non-production before deployment to production and DR. Patching directly to production without staging-environment validation is a CSCRF non-compliance.
- Audit evidence: Change management records showing staging validation steps
VAPT reports submitted within prescribed timelines. Reports must be submitted in the format specified under CSCRF Annexure-A.
- Audit evidence: Submission acknowledgment from reporting authority

Checklist 5: Cyber Audit Readiness

Applies to: [All] except [Self] (VAPT only)

Audit Scheduling

CERT-In empanelled auditor engaged with verified BFSI credentials. Auditors must have a minimum of three years of BFSI IT audit experience. Recognized qualifications include CISA, CISM, CISSP, and GSNA. The same three-year consecutive tenure rule applies as for VAPT auditors.
- Audit evidence: Auditor engagement letter, CERT-In empanelment confirmation, BFSI experience documentation
Audit scope covers 100% of critical systems and at minimum a 25% sample of non-critical systems. For entities with dual registrations (e.g., a bank also registered as a DP), audit scope covers only IT infrastructure used for SEBI-regulated activities — provided those systems are properly segregated. Connected or ancillary systems must also be in scope.
- Audit evidence: Audit scope document signed off by IT Committee and CISO
Open-source tools used by auditors are permitted for commercial use. No restriction on tool type as long as licensing permits commercial engagement.
- Audit evidence: Auditor tool list with licensing confirmations

Audit Evidence Preparation

This is the most common area of last-minute scrambling. Prepare these folders before the audit begins:

Post-Audit Obligations

Audit report submitted within one month of audit completion.
Findings assigned owners with closure deadlines. All findings must be closed within three months. Findings still open after three months require IT Committee approval.
Follow-on audit to verify closure completed within six months of initial audit.
- Audit evidence: Follow-on audit report, closure verification records

Checklist 6: Identity and Access Management (IAM and PAM)

Applies to: [All] — depth scales by tier

Privileged account inventory is complete and current. All privileged accounts — service accounts, admin accounts, shared accounts — documented with owner, purpose, and last review date.
- Audit evidence: PAM system inventory export, last review date
Privileged access sessions are monitored and recorded. Session recording active for all privileged access via PAM platforms (CyberArk, Lieberman, BeyondTrust, etc.). Session recordings stored with appropriate retention.
- Audit evidence: PAM platform configuration showing session recording, retention policy
Privileged account activity feeds into SIEM. PAM platform events — session starts, privilege escalations, anomalous access — must correlate with SIEM detections. Siloed PAM monitoring does not satisfy CSCRF's unified detection requirements.
- Audit evidence: SIEM data source list showing PAM integration, sample correlated events
Access certifications conducted and documented. Periodic reviews of user entitlements against role requirements. Over-privileged accounts remediated.
- Audit evidence: Access certification campaign records, remediation logs
Mobile application access controls in place. Baseline security requirements for mobile applications are mandated at Standard 16 of CSCRF's Identity Management section.
- Audit evidence: Mobile app security policy, DAST/SAST results for mobile apps
Multi-factor authentication enforced for all critical system access. [MII] [QRE] MFA is mandatory for access to critical systems and privileged functions.
- Audit evidence: IAM configuration showing MFA enforcement, exception register if any

Checklist 7: Data Protection and Database Activity Monitoring

Applies to: [All] — DAM is mandatory for MII and QRE; expected for Mid

Database Activity Monitoring (DAM) is deployed on critical databases. DAM is explicitly required for Market Infrastructure Institutions under SEBI CSCRF. Refer the IBM Guardium implementation roadmap for platform-specific guidance.
- Audit evidence: DAM platform configuration showing monitored databases, policy settings
DAM provides real-time alerting on policy violations. Alerts must fire in real time — batch reporting after the fact does not satisfy the monitoring requirement.
- Audit evidence: Alert policy configuration, sample alert logs
Audit data Recovery Point Objective (RPO) is 15 minutes or less. DAM audit trail must be recoverable to within 15 minutes of any point in time. This is explicitly mandated in CSCRF and verified during audit.
- Audit evidence: DAM architecture documentation showing replication/backup mechanism and tested RPO
Data is encrypted at rest, in transit, and in use for critical systems. Encryption standards documented and applied. Cloud workloads must use compliant key management within India's legal boundaries.
- Audit evidence: Encryption policy, configuration evidence for each data tier
Source code of critical custom applications is held in escrow. Where source code cannot be obtained directly, a source code escrow arrangement must be in place. Applies only to applications developed for the RE's sole use.
- Audit evidence: Source code escrow agreement or source code repository access confirmation

Checklist 8: Third-Party and Cloud Vendor Risk

Applies to: [All]

The RE is solely accountable for all third-party and cloud provider compliance. Vendor non-compliance is the RE's compliance failure.

All critical third-party vendors under NDA with explicit CSCRF compliance clauses. NDAs must certify vendor compliance with CSCRF. Periodic re-certification required.
- Audit evidence: Signed NDA templates showing CSCRF clauses, vendor re-certification records
Third-party vendor risk register maintained. Covers all critical vendors: cloud providers, managed SOC, VAPT firms, software vendors, hosted service providers. Risk-tiered with periodic review dates.
- Audit evidence: Vendor risk register with last review date
Cloud providers and hosted services are MeitY-empanelled with valid STQC certification. This extends to all material subcontractors in the CSP's delivery chain — not just the primary provider. If a CSP's MeitY empanelment lapses mid-contract, the RE must immediately assess risk and initiate an action plan.
- Audit evidence: MeitY empanelment certificates for each CSP, contractual clauses requiring back-to-back subcontractor compliance
Encryption key management operates within India's jurisdiction. Routing encryption key management requests through foreign infrastructure — even transiently — violates SEBI's data sovereignty requirements. Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) arrangements should be evaluated where the CSP's default key management crosses jurisdictions.
- Audit evidence: Cloud architecture documentation, CSP key management configuration, BYOK agreement if applicable
Contractual audit rights established with all CSPs. The RE must be able to conduct audits of CSP infrastructure and obtain forensic evidence during SEBI investigations. These rights must be contractually explicit.
- Audit evidence: Cloud service agreement showing audit rights clauses
VAPT closure timelines included in third-party SLAs. CSCRF's finding closure timelines (one week for high-severity patch findings, three months for all others) should be reflected as obligations in vendor contracts.
- Audit evidence: SLA documents showing VAPT closure timelines

Checklist 9: Incident Response and Reporting

Applies to: [All]

Cyber Crisis Management Plan (CCMP) is written, board-approved, and tested. The CCMP must be a documented, verifiable plan — not institutional knowledge. It must cover: incident classification, escalation paths, out-of-hours contacts, regulatory notification procedures, and communication protocols.
- Audit evidence: Signed CCMP with version date and board approval
Live incident response drills conducted. Table-top exercises and walkthroughs do not satisfy the CSCRF drill requirement. Live drills must simulate real scenarios and test actual recovery, not just discussion.
- Audit evidence: Drill completion records, post-drill evaluation reports
All required incident scenarios covered within one audit period. Drills need not happen in a single session but all mandated scenarios must be covered before the audit period closes.
- Audit evidence: Drill scenario log showing all required scenarios completed
Incident classification process documented. Incidents classified as High or Critical require CERT-In empanelled forensic investigation and a formal forensic report. Low and Medium incidents require a forensic report if the Root Cause Analysis is inconclusive or SEBI/HPSC-CS directs one.
- Audit evidence: Incident classification framework document, sample incident logs
Incident reporting to SEBI portal is operational. Escalation and reporting workflows tested. Designated incident coordinator reachable out of hours — the incident response plan cannot have a "wait until morning" escalation step.
- Audit evidence: SEBI portal reporting test confirmation, designated contact list
DC-DR drill completed within the audit period. RTO of 2 hours and RPO of 15 minutes for critical systems must be demonstrated in a live drill. RTO and RPO cannot be self-defined beyond these limits — they are CSCRF mandates.
- Audit evidence: DC-DR drill completion record with measured RTO and RPO

Checklist 10: Red Teaming and Threat Intelligence

Applies to: [MII] [QRE]

Red teaming exercises conducted periodically. Goal-based adversarial simulation — distinct from scenario-based drills. Red teaming tests real attack vectors against the production environment. Blue team response is part of the exercise.
- Audit evidence: Red team engagement scope, findings report, blue team response log
Threat hunting activities conducted quarterly. Proactive hunting for indicators of compromise that have not triggered automated alerts. NCIIPC and CERT-In intelligence used as baseline; commercial and industry-specific threat feeds recommended in addition.
- Audit evidence: Threat hunting reports, threat intelligence feed subscriptions
Compromise assessment completed. Evidence that no persistent, undetected attacker presence exists in the environment. Frequency aligned with CSCRF mandates for tier.
- Audit evidence: Compromise assessment report from qualified provider

The Five Gaps Auditors Find Most Often

Based on CSCRF readiness assessments across BFSI organizations, these are the controls that most frequently appear as findings:

1. SOC coverage without SIEM depth. A Market SOC subscription or managed SIEM contract is in place, but identity logs, PAM events, and application-layer activity are not flowing into the SIEM. The SOC is monitoring network and endpoint events only. Auditors test this by asking for the SIEM data source list.

2. VAPT findings not tracked through closure. Reports are submitted on time. Findings are logged. But the follow-through — especially the one-week SLA for high-severity patch items — breaks down because VAPT is managed separately from the change management workflow.

3. CISO governance on paper only. The org chart shows CISO reporting to MD/CEO. In practice, the CISO is functionally subordinate to IT operations with no direct board access. Auditors may ask the CISO to describe their most recent board interaction and escalation path.

4. Incomplete third-party coverage. Primary cloud providers are MeitY-empanelled. But subcontractors — CDN providers, managed services embedded in the cloud platform, SaaS tools used by the primary vendor — are not assessed. The RE is accountable for the full chain.

5. CCMP exists; drills do not. The Cyber Crisis Management Plan is a well-written document. But there is no evidence of live drills. Table-top walkthroughs have been conducted and mistakenly treated as compliant.

FAQ

We are mid-size. Do we need an in-house SOC?

No. Mid-size REs can use the Market SOC operated by NSE or BSE. However, opting into the Market SOC does not exempt you from ensuring adequate log source coverage. The SIEM must be ingesting your critical log sources — the Market SOC provider cannot monitor what it cannot see.

Can we use the same CERT-In firm for both VAPT and cyber audit?

Yes, provided the three-year consecutive tenure rule has not been exceeded. After three consecutive years with the same firm, a two-year cooling-off period applies before re-engagement. Track engagement dates carefully.

We already have an active ISO 27001 certification. Does it satisfy CSCRF?

Only if the certification scope covers all mandated locations: Primary DC, DR site, Near-DR site, SOC, and colocation facility. A certification scoped only to the head office or core IT systems does not satisfy the requirement. Verify scope before submitting as evidence.

Our RTO target is four hours. Can we define it ourselves?

No. CSCRF mandates a maximum RTO of two hours for critical systems and RPO of 15 minutes. These are not targets you can adjust based on your own business impact analysis — they are regulatory floors. Recovery plans must be built around these numbers and tested in live drills.

Does CSCRF require us to start migrating to quantum-resistant cryptography now?

Not immediately, but it requires you to inventory your cryptographic assets and assess PQC migration priority. Organizations with sensitive long-lived data are at higher risk from "harvest now, decrypt later" attacks. The prudent approach is to build the inventory and risk assessment now, which positions you ahead of future mandatory migration timelines.

What happens if we miss a VAPT submission deadline?

Non-compliance with CSCRF — including missed submission deadlines — can result in SEBI regulatory action, potential suspension of operations, and reputational consequences. Given that multiple deadline extensions have already been granted to the market, further leniency is unlikely. Treat all CSCRF deadlines with the same seriousness as financial reporting obligations.

Our organization has both RBI and SEBI registrations. Which cybersecurity framework governs?

Both. RBI's cybersecurity frameworks apply to RBI-regulated activities. CSCRF applies to SEBI-regulated activities and the IT infrastructure supporting them. Where systems are shared between both functions without segregation, CSCRF audit scope includes those shared systems. The CISO reporting structure under CSCRF — to MD/CEO — takes precedence for SEBI-regulated functions even if the RBI framework permits CISO reporting at a lower level.

Conclusion

CSCRF compliance in 2026 is not about knowing the framework. It is about demonstrating it. Every control in this checklist has an evidence counterpart — a document, a log, a configuration record, a drill report — that an auditor will ask to see.

Organizations that treat audit preparation as a point-in-time sprint will keep scrambling. Organizations that run these checks on a rolling basis — and maintain their evidence folders as a living artefact — will find that audit cycles become operationally routine rather than disruptive.

The checklist is a starting point. Use it to find gaps, assign owners, and close them before your next audit window opens.
