Turn SEBI or other Stock Exchange Compliance from a Periodic Audit Exercise into Always-On Infrastructure
Stockbrokers operate under one of the most stringent cyber-regulatory regimes. Yet identity, access, privilege, and audit controls remain fragmented across tools and teams. Cross Identity delivers cybersecurity-as-an-infrastructure (CSaaI)—where identity becomes the control plane for trading platforms, back-office operations, dealers, APIs, and privileged systems, continuously and provably.
The Stockbroker Reality
Fragmentation is the Hidden Risk Regulators See First
Multiple Identity Silos
Retail trading apps, dealer terminals, back-office systems, RMS, DP operations, and admin infrastructure all manage access differently—creating gaps that no single control can explain during audits.
High-Risk Operational Workflows
Fund payouts, bank-detail changes, margin overrides, and master data updates rely on manual checks and procedural discipline—exactly where insider risk and audit failures emerge.
Dealer & Franchisee Exposure
Thousands of authorised persons, sub-brokers, and terminals operate outside central visibility, while access revocation often lags resignations or role changes.
Audit Readiness Stress
Stock exchange audits demand evidence—who accessed what, when, from where, and with which approval. Most brokers still stitch this together from logs, screenshots, and spreadsheets.
What Changes with Infrastructure-First Identity Security
One Identity Core for the Entire Brokerage Stack
Unified Identity Control Plane
Clients, employees, dealers, service accounts, APIs, and administrators governed from a single system—no sync gaps, no orphan access, no blind spots.
Built-In Segregation of Duties
Maker-Checker logic enforced at the system level for fund payouts, master changes, and high-risk operations—not left to policy documents or human discipline.
Privilege Without Permanent Risk
Just-in-time privileged access replaces standing admin rights, with session recording and enforced approvals aligned to SEBI CSCRF expectations.
Continuous Compliance by Design
Audit evidence is generated automatically from live identity activity—no audit-season scramble, no manual correlation.
Designed for SEBI CSCRF & Other Exchange Mandates
Cross Identity operationalizes the SEBI Cybersecurity & Cyber Resilience Framework (CSCRF) across the most scrutinized identity control areas:
- Mandatory MFA and device-aware access for clients, dealers, and staff
- Least-privilege and role-based access across OMS, RMS, back-office, and DP systems
- Enforced segregation of duties for financial and operational workflows
- Privileged access governance with just-in-time elevation and session visibility
- Immutable audit trails mapped to PR.AA control families
Compliance becomes a continuous state—not a quarterly project.
Where Brokers See Immediate Impact
The RBI’s Master Direction on IT Governance, Risk, and Controls has made manual compliance obsolete. Compliance is no longer a "check-the-box" annual event; it is a continuous mandate.
