Governance, technology risk and audit readiness for eligible financial organizations, mapped to applicable SBP requirements.

The client need

Financial organizations face high expectations for technology risk and cyber resilience, and requirements differ by licence type.

Financial organizations face high expectations for technology risk and cyber resilience, and requirements differ by licence type. The SBP Technology Risk Management Framework for Payment Institutions is relevant to EMIs, PSOs and PSPs, and SBP’s Cyber Shield strategy provides regulatory context. Not every SBP requirement applies to every financial organization, so we confirm applicability first. Which requirements apply depends on your organization, its sector and the rules that govern it.
