Overview

System audits are no longer optional for regulated entities

SEBI's CSCRF (August 2024) mandates periodic system audits for all regulated entities  covering 100% of critical systems. Non-compliance triggers exchange penalties, disciplinary action and reputational risk. SecMark delivers CERT-In aligned audits, from scoping through to findings, risk rating and remediation - by professionals with direct SEBI, NSE and BSE audit experience.
