HCL BigFix: RBI Compliance Made Easy for Banks

RBI, the Reserve Bank of India, is the central banking institution of India that regulates the country’s monetary policies and banking system. In recent years, the RBI has also taken a more proactive approach to address the issue of cybersecurity and compliance in the financial services sector and released a set of controls and guidelines, known as the Cyber Security Framework. These guidelines empower banks to proactively tackle escalating security threats with greater effectiveness.

HCL BigFix stands as a cutting-edge solution for supporting the RBI Framework, serving as the foundation for many institutions' successful security implementations. With HCL BigFix, a multitude of RBI requirements can be effectively and efficiently met, ensuring robust compliance and security.
