CSCRF evidence for market intermediaries

SEBI’s Cybersecurity and Cyber Resilience Framework consolidates cyber obligations for regulated entities across Indian capital markets into one graded framework, with compliance timelines already in force. Among its expectations sit concrete software duties: inventories, vulnerability management, and auditable evidence of both.

Who this applies to SEBI-regulated entities: exchanges, depositories, brokers, mutual funds, and other intermediaries, graded by the framework’s entity categories.

What it asks for

Asset and software inventory

Know the systems and software in scope, including components, at a bill-of-materials level of detail.

Vulnerability management

Identify and remediate vulnerabilities on defined cycles, with records that survive audit.

Resilience and audit evidence

Demonstrate the framework operating: reports, logs, and periodic audits appropriate to your entity category.

How SecuNexa and BOMNexa map to it

BOM-level inventory

BOMNexa generates and maintains software and component inventories from real artifacts, monitored as disclosures land, aligned with Indian BOM guidance.

Vulnerability management

Nine engines and one prioritized queue give the identification-and-remediation cycle substance, with SLA tracking and audit logs.

Airgapped fit

Market infrastructure runs restricted networks; the entire platform operates offline, matching how these environments are actually built.

Tools do not make you compliant; they make compliance provable. SecuNexa and BOMNexa supply the technical evidence described on this page. Governance, process, and legal interpretation belong to your compliance function, and this page is not legal advice.

Frequently asked questions

Does BOMNexa align with CERT-In BOM guidance too?

Yes. Indian frameworks reference CERT-In’s technical guidelines on bills of materials, and BOMNexa’s five-BOM model, including SBOM and CBOM, was built with those guidelines squarely in view.

Our category has lighter requirements. Is this overkill?

The framework grades depth by entity category, but inventory and vulnerability duties reach every category. The platform scales down cleanly: start with the engines your category needs and the same evidence model applies.
