Cybersecurity for India's most-regulated industry.
Macksofy is built for BFSI cybersecurity. CERT-In empanelled, with senior consultants who have stood inside RBI inspections, SEBI half-yearly audits, IRDAI cyber crisis drills and Central Bank of UAE submissions. 60%+ of our engagements are with banks, NBFCs, brokers, AMCs, insurers and payment aggregators.
- Regulator-format reports accepted by RBI, SEBI, IRDAI, CBUAE on the first read
- Year-round VAPT coverage across core banking, channels (net-banking, mobile, APIs), DR and partner integrations
- Quarterly red-team or assumed-breach exercises mapped to MITRE ATT&CK for Finance
- 24×7 Managed SOC with BFSI-tuned detections (UPI fraud, wire-fraud patterns, kerberoasting, OWASP API Top 10)
- Evidence packs that survive regulator follow-up 4-6 months after submission
Why BFSI cybersecurity isn't generic.
Indian BFSI sits on the strictest cybersecurity regulatory stack outside of defence — RBI's Cyber Security Framework for banks, the Master Direction for NBFCs, the Digital Payment Security Controls direction, SEBI's CSCRF for stock exchanges and Mutual Funds, the IRDAI Information & Cyber Security Guidelines for insurers, and pan-sector requirements from CERT-In, DPDPA and MeitY. Add UAE clients and the layer multiplies — Central Bank of UAE expectations, NESA Information Assurance, DESC ISR for Dubai entities.
Macksofy delivers cybersecurity audits, VAPT, red teaming and Managed SOC into all the above. Most BFSI engagements run as part of an annual programme — quarterly VAPT cycles plus regulator-aligned point-in-time audits plus a CISO-on-tap retainer. Our reports are accepted by RBI inspectors, SEBI auditors, IRDAI and the Central Bank of UAE without rework.
What's specific to BFSI vs. a generic cybersecurity engagement: regulator-format reporting (not just a finding list), evidence packs that survive a 4-month-after audit ask, segregation between core-banking VAPT and channel/digital VAPT, integration with the bank's existing GRC tool (RSA Archer, ServiceNow IRM, MetricStream), and Mumbai-onsite presence during quarter-end audit windows.
Frameworks Macksofy already maps to.
Every engagement's controls matrix tracks against these frameworks so the same evidence covers multiple regulator submissions.
- Reserve Bank of India — Cyber Security Framework + Master Direction (Banks, NBFCs, PA/PG, Wallets)
- SEBI — CSCRF (Stock Exchanges, Depositories, MIIs) + Cybersecurity Circular (Stock Brokers, MFs)
- IRDAI — Information & Cyber Security Guidelines for Insurers
- CERT-In — Empanelled audit + 6-hour incident reporting + log retention
- Central Bank of UAE — Cyber Risk Management Standards
- NESA / UAE IA Standards (for UAE BFSI)
- DPDPA + UAE Federal PDPL (cross-border BFSI data)

Listed Indian private-sector bank · ₹3 Tn AUM · 1,200+ branches
Annual cyber security programme — quarterly VAPT across net-banking, mobile-banking, core-banking, ATM-switch and partner API surfaces. RBI CSF gap closure. Half-yearly red-team exercise. SOC tuning sprint.
Channel-VAPT surfaced an OAuth2 redirect-URI misconfiguration in the OEM net-banking layer that allowed account-takeover via fraudulent OAuth client. Red-team chained an internal Active Directory kerberoastable account to Domain Admin in 6 hours.
OAuth redirect_uri allowlist hardened, kerberoastable account migrated to gMSA + 20-character random password, SOC gained 4 new detections (kerberoasting, AS-REP roasting, DCSync, golden-ticket signature). Both findings closed within RBI's stipulated reporting window.

“We've worked with three Big 4 firms before Macksofy. None found what their team did in our payments stack. The most actionable report we've received in a decade.”
“The CHFI training Macksofy delivered for our cyber cell raised investigation quality measurably. Practical, India-context-aware, and respectful of our operational realities.”
“Came in with zero security background. 5 weeks later I was running Burp Suite and Metasploit confidently. Cleared CEH on the first attempt.”
