Built for every SEBI Regulated Entity

SEBI CSCRF is mandatory for all regulated entities under SEBI’s jurisdiction. Our engine is tailored to each entity type.

Market Infrastructure Institutions

Stock Exchanges (BSE, NSE), Clearing Corporations, Depositories. Highest compliance tier — third-party CCI assessment twice a year, red teaming mandatory.

Qualified Regulated Entities

Asset Management Companies, Mutual Funds, Stock Brokers, Portfolio Managers, Investment Advisors. Annual self-assessment with structured SEBI reporting.

Mid-Size & Small REs

AIFs, Credit Rating Agencies, Debenture Trustees, Custodians, Venture Capital Funds. Access to Market SOC (BSE/NSE) for monitoring support.

Cognisec Intelligent Engine

Continuous compliance, collected from every asset

Most tools ask you to fill in a spreadsheet once a year. The Cognisec Intelligent Engine connects to your actual environment and continuously gathers compliance evidence — directly from each asset — so your CSCRF posture reflects the real, current state of your systems.

Evidence from Every Asset

The engine collects control and mandate evidence directly from servers, network devices, databases, appliances, gateways, firewalls and endpoints — mapping each finding to the relevant CSCRF requirement automatically.

Always-On, Not Once-a-Year

Controls drift the day after an audit. The engine re-checks continuously, so gaps surface the moment they appear — not months later when the regulator asks.

Audit-Ready by Default

Every collected artifact is signed, timestamped and linked to its CSCRF control — so a SEBI audit becomes a download, not a fire drill.

Why Cognisec

The only engine built exclusively for SEBI CSCRF

SEBI-Native

Every pillar, control, and compliance format is built directly from SEBI’s August 2024 CSCRF circular — not a generic framework adapter.

3-Role Workflow

Strict separation of duties — CISO approves, Compliance Manager submits evidence, Auditor reviews. Mirrors SEBI’s own governance model.

CCI Built-In

Cyber Capability Index scoring is natively embedded across every SEBI-defined parameter. Track your score, identify gaps, and generate SEBI-ready CCI reports.

SEBI CSCRF is in force. Is your compliance continuous?

Move from once-a-year paperwork to continuous, automated compliance — with evidence collected from every asset by the Cognisec Intelligent Engine.
