Alignment of SEBI Cyber Incident Reporting Portal with FIRE Format

SEBI updates its Cyber Incident Reporting Portal to align with the Format for Incident Reporting Exchange (FIRE) framework. This framework provides standardized definitions and common information fields for cyber incident reporting. Regulated entities must report cyber incidents through the portal at https://siportal.sebi.gov.in. The portal now supports multi-stage reporting to track the incident life cycle from initial report to final closure. Entities must implement necessary systems and amend relevant bye-laws, rules, or regulations to comply with these requirements. This circular applies to all SEBI-regulated entities and operates alongside existing cybersecurity and cyber resilience frameworks.

Relaxation on geo tagging requirement in India for NRIs while undertaking re-KYC

The Securities and Exchange Board of India has modified its Master Circular on KYC to facilitate the re-KYC process for Non-Resident Indian (NRI) clients. The requirement that a client must be physically located in India during digital onboarding is now relaxed for existing NRI clients undergoing re-KYC. Intermediaries must ensure that the GPS location (latitude and longitude) captured by their application corresponds to the country specified in the client's Proof of Address. Furthermore, applications must prevent connections from spoofed IP addresses and include features for random action initiation to verify that interactions are not pre-recorded.
