SEBI IT Resilience Index

SEBI has introduced the Information Technology Resilience Index (ITRI) for Market Infrastructure Institutions (MIIs).
MIIs covered include stock exchanges and depositories.
The ITRI evaluates MIIs based on nine parameters: availability, security, integrity, governance, reliability and monitoring, business continuity, modularity and flexibility, scalability, and other relevant factors.
MIIs are mandated to develop an Early Warning System (EWS) to detect potential IT performance deterioration or system disruptions.
The objective is to strengthen the resilience of IT systems within the financial market infrastructure.

SEBI has proposed extending the existing IT and cyber security framework currently applicable to Market Infrastructure Institutions (MIIs) to their subsidiaries.
MIIs include stock exchanges, depositories, and clearing corporations.
The proposal aims to strengthen regulatory oversight over the entire ecosystem of MIIs.
Currently, the applicability and regulatory jurisdiction of SEBI's IT and cybersecurity frameworks are not explicitly defined for the subsidiaries of MIIs.
SEBI noted that MIIs often utilize the services of their subsidiaries for critical activities, necessitating close operational coordination.
