RBI expects continuous. TriNetra runs continuous.
The RBI framework asks banks and NBFCs for ongoing surveillance, regular testing, and demonstrable cyber resilience — not an annual ritual. TriNetra produces that evidence as a side effect of running your security program on it.

The regulation
What RBI expects of you.
The Reserve Bank of India's Cyber Security Framework (June 2016 circular, DBS.CO/CSITE series) applies to every bank operating in India, extended to NBFCs through the NBFC IT Master Direction. It requires a board-approved cyber-security policy distinct from the general IT policy, a cyber-crisis-management plan, periodic vulnerability assessment and penetration testing of critical systems, and incident reporting to RBI on a defined timeline. Non-compliance here doesn't play out as a warning letter — RBI's escalation path runs through supervisory action, restrictions on new product launches, and in serious cases board-level intervention, which is why RBI-regulated clients treat VAPT scoping and evidence quality with more rigor than almost any other vertical we work with. Payment aggregators carry additional obligations under the 2025 Payment Aggregator Master Direction, covered separately on our PA-PG page.
How TriNetra maps to it
From circular to evidence.
| TriNetra module | Evidence produced |
|---|---|
| PTaaS | Scoping against RBI's definition of critical infrastructure, then a full VAPT engagement tracked through the same 12-state pill stepper — Requested through Closed — as every other engagement on the platform, with findings carrying CVSS scoring through the standard 7-state lifecycle (Draft through Resolved). |
| Continuous Controls Validation | Governance review before testing starts — the board-approved cyber policy and crisis-management plan checked against RBI's requirements — then controls validation: CCV tests whether the controls the policy claims exist are actually configured correctly, on a recurring schedule that keeps running after the engagement closes. |
| Attack Surface Management + Digital Risk Protection | Continuous surveillance of the threat landscape — ASM maps and monitors your internet-facing footprint on daily-to-monthly per-asset cadences; DRP watches the landscape outside your walls: lookalike domains, leaked credentials, and India-specific fraud signals like fake RBI/KYC domains and fraudulent UPI VPAs. |
| Continuous Controls Validation | "RBI Cyber Security Framework — Annual Assessment 2026" is a real, live report row in Compliance Reports, tracked through Review and View states with approval gating — findings mapped back to specific RBI framework clauses, not left as generic severity ratings. |
Keep evidence current between audits with Continuous Controls Validation.
Generated, not assembled
The annual assessment is a live row, not a project.
“RBI Cyber Security Framework — Annual Assessment 2026” moves through Review and View states on the same pipeline as every other framework report — approval-gated before anyone outside your team sees it.
