SEBI's Revised CSCRF Framework: Comprehensive Breakdown of Updated Compliance Requirements as per New Circular (April 2025 - SEBI/HO/ ITD-1/ITD_CSC_EXT/P/CIR/2025/60)

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has overhauled its Cybersecurity and Cyber Resilience Framework (CSCRF) through circulars issued between August 2024 and April 2025. These revisions introduce granular categorization thresholds (with categories fixed for each financial year based on the previous year’s data), exemptions for smaller entities, and strategic relaxations, while maintaining robust security standards for systemically critical players. The category assigned to a Regulated Entity (RE) is decided at the beginning of the financial year using prior-year metrics and remains unchanged throughout that year. Notably, the respective reporting authority (e.g. stock exchange or SEBI-designated body) must validate each RE’s category at the time of compliance filing. This analysis contrasts previous requirements with the updated framework, providing actionable insights for each type of SEBI Regulated Entity to achieve compliance by the extended deadline of June 30, 2025.

Web Application Penetration Testing(WAPT) and how to choose an ideal vendor?

Web application penetration testing (WAPT) involves a methodological series of steps aimed at gathering information about the target system, finding vulnerabilities or faults in it, and researching for exploits that will succeed against those faults or vulnerabilities and compromise the web application. Web application penetration testing (WAPT) works by using manual or automated penetration tests to identify any vulnerability, security flaws or threats in a web application. The tests involve using/implementing any of the known malicious penetration attacks on the application. The penetration tester exhibits/fabricates attacks and the environment from an attacker’s perspective, such as using SQL injection tests. The key outcome of web application penetration testing is to identify security weaknesses across the entire web application and its components (source code, database, back-end network). It also helps in prioritizing the identified vulnerabilities and threats, and possible ways to mitigate them.
