The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) established the RBI Cyber Security Framework for Banks, requiring financial institutions to implement 24 baseline security controls to strengthen protection against cyber threats targeting financial systems and customer data. These RBI guidelines focus on securing identities, protecting sensitive information, and establishing effective incident response mechanisms across banking environments.
These RBI guidelines apply to regulated financial institutions, including Scheduled Commercial Banks, Small Finance Banks, Payment Banks, Foreign Banks operating in India, and Cooperative Banks under RBI supervision. Organizations within this scope must establish robust cybersecurity controls to meet RBI cybersecurity framework requirements while safeguarding critical banking infrastructure and digital services.
| RBI Section | What the Control Requires | miniOrange Offering |
|---|---|---|
| 2 – Unauthorized Software Control | Restrict installation and execution of unauthorized software across enterprise endpoints. | MDM, DLP, UEM, and EPM enforce application control and restrict unauthorized software installations. |
| 4 – Network & Access Security | Secure network infrastructure and enforce strong authentication for administrative and remote access. | MFA secures authentication for network devices such as firewalls, routers, and switches, and more. |
| 8.1 – Secure Access Management | Restrict access to critical systems and sensitive operations to authorized users only. | IAM and PAM enforce role-based access policies and secure administrative access. |
| 8.3 – Privilege Restriction | Limit administrative privileges and enforce least-privilege principles. | PAM and EPM control privileged access and restrict unnecessary admin rights, while a secure credential vault stores and manages privileged accounts |
| 8.4 – Centralized Authentication | Implement centralized authentication for enterprise applications and infrastructure. | IAM enables centralized identity management with SSO, MFA, and integration with PAM, supporting secure authentication protocols such as SAML, OAuth, and OpenID Connect. |
| 8.5 – Privileged Access Monitoring | Continuously monitor privileged user activities and maintain session audit trails. | PAM provides privileged session monitoring, recording, and access auditing for RDP, SSH, DB, and web apps. |
| 8.6 – Identity Lifecycle Management | Detect and disable dormant or inactive accounts to reduce security risks. | IAM automates user lifecycle management and enforces account deactivation policies, with workflows to identify and manage dormant or inactive accounts. |
| 8.7 – Abnormal Login Detection | Identify suspicious login attempts and unusual authentication behavior. | Adaptive MFA and AI based Anamoly detection analyzes login context and integrates with third-party ITDR or SIEM tools. |
| 8.8–8.9 – Endpoint & Device Control | Enforce policies for software installation and secure management of enterprise devices. | MDM and EPM manage device security policies and restrict unauthorized installations. |
| 8.10 – Email & Attachment Security | Restrict malicious macros, scripts, and unsafe attachments to prevent malware delivery. | DLP monitors file transfers and enforces policies for sensitive data protection. |
| 9 – Customer Authentication | Implement strong authentication mechanisms for customer-facing banking applications. | OOTB SDKs and APIs for strong authentication for customer apps |
| 11–12 – Vendor & Media Controls | Secure third-party vendor access and control removable media usage to prevent data exfiltration. | PAM manages secure vendor access, while DLP and MDM enforce removable media policies. |
| 13–15 – Threat Protection & Data Security | Detect cyber threats and prevent phishing and sensitive data leakage. | Adaptive MFA, DLP, and CASB help detect risky access and protect sensitive data. |
| 1 – IT Asset Inventory | Maintain inventory of IT assets and control access to enterprise systems and applications. | miniOrange integrates seamlessly with third-party solutions to enable centralized IT asset visibility. |
| 16–23 – Logging, Monitoring & Response | Maintain audit logs, incident response processes, transaction monitoring, and forensic capabilities. | miniOrange platforms provide centralized logs and integrate with SIEM and ITDR tools for monitoring and investigations. |
