Some of the high level requirements under the SEBI CSCRF framework include:

• Cybersecurity policy: Regulated entities must establish and maintain a robust cybersecurity policy approved by senior management, aligned with continuous monitoring insights from SIEM, HRM and security analytics platforms.
• Risk management: Organizations must continuously assess risks, identify critical assets, and define acceptable risk levels using data-driven insights from SIEM, HRM correlation engines, vulnerability management tools, and threat intelligence feeds.
• Data security: Sensitive data must be protected using encryption, access controls, and monitoring mechanisms integrated with SIEM, HRM systems to detect anomalies and unauthorized access in real time.
• Security Operations Center (SOC): Entities must establish or integrate with a SOC supported by SIEM, HRM tools to enable centralized log management, event correlation, threat detection, and real-time incident monitoring.
• Audits: Organizations must perform regular cybersecurity audits supported by automated evidence collection, SIEM, HRM logs, and continuous compliance tracking for improved audit readiness.
• Red teaming: Entities should conduct red teaming exercises and simulate cyberattack scenarios, leveraging SIEM, HRM insights and attack simulations to test detection and response capabilities.
• Incident response:

  Organizations must maintain a robust incident response and cyber crisis management plan, supported by SIEM, HRM alerts, automated workflows, and real time incident tracking to enable faster response and regulatory reporting.
