Cooperative-bank cybersecurity audit

RBI applies a graded cyber-security framework to Urban Cooperative Banks (UCBs) based on their digital depth, covering governance, baseline controls, VAPT, and incident reporting. CyberSigma is a CERT-In empanelled auditor with a BFSI practice: we determine your UCB level, assess your controls and VAPT posture against the applicable RBI cyber-security framework for cooperative banks, and deliver an auditable, board-ready report and prioritised remediation plan.
