THE CHALLENGE LANDSCAPE

Why Cybersecurity
Matters Now

The challenges organisations face in this space are growing in complexity and urgency. Here is what is driving the conversation.

"
01 / TECHNOLOGY
Indian financial institutions face a surge in ransomware, supply chain attacks, and nation-state threats. Prevention-only strategies are no longer sufficient — lateral movement must be contained at the network level.
"
02 / REGULATORY
RBI Master Direction on IT and Cybersecurity, CERT-In 6-hour incident reporting rule, and SEBI Cyber Resilience Framework are creating simultaneous compliance obligations that most BFSI entities are underprepared for.
"
03 / OPERATIONAL
Attackers increasingly target vendors, payment gateways, and cloud providers to reach financial institutions. Third-party risk management is now a board-level cybersecurity obligation.
"
04 / STRATEGIC
India's banking sector runs on legacy core banking systems with flat network architectures — precisely the environment where lateral movement attacks cause the most damage and are hardest to detect.
OUR APPROACH

How We
Deliver

A structured methodology that ensures rigour, transparency, and measurable outcomes at every stage.

01

Threat & Risk Assessment

We assess your current threat exposure — network architecture, asset inventory, control gaps, and regulatory compliance status — to establish your baseline and priority risk areas.

02

Zero Trust Architecture Design

We design your Zero Trust architecture — identity, network, workload, and data layers — with a phased implementation roadmap that minimises operational disruption.

03

Technology Deployment

We deploy and configure security technology — microsegmentation, EDR, SIEM/SOAR, PAM — working with your existing infrastructure and our technology partners including ColorTokens.

04

Compliance & Evidence Management

We build the compliance evidence layer — policies, controls documentation, incident logs, and regulatory reports — to satisfy RBI, CERT-In, and SEBI requirements.

05

Continuous Monitoring & Response

We establish continuous monitoring capabilities and incident response protocols — so threats are detected faster, contained before they spread, and reported within regulatory timelines.

WHAT WE DELIVER

Cybersecurity
Capabilities

Comprehensive solutions designed to address your most critical challenges and unlock lasting value.

01

Zero Trust Architecture

End-to-end Zero Trust design and implementation — identity verification, microsegmentation, least-privilege access, and continuous monitoring across on-premise and cloud environments.

02

Microsegmentation

Network microsegmentation using ColorTokens Xshield — isolating workloads, containing lateral movement, and protecting critical banking applications without disrupting operations.

03

RBI & CERT-In Compliance

Full compliance mapping to RBI Master Direction on IT Governance, CERT-In incident reporting rules, and SEBI Cyber Resilience Framework — with evidence management and audit support.

04

Vulnerability Assessment & Pen Testing

Comprehensive VAPT across network, application, and cloud layers — with remediation prioritisation aligned to regulatory requirements and risk exposure.

05

Incident Response

24/7 incident response capability — detection, containment, eradication, and recovery — with CERT-In compliant reporting and board communication support.

06

Security Awareness & Governance

CISO advisory, security awareness programs, cybersecurity governance framework design, and board-level cyber risk reporting.

REGULATORY CONTEXT
