India's SEBI’s evolving cybersecurity framework places strict requirements on regulated entities to secure IT infrastructure, detect vulnerabilities, and ensure resilient operations. Recent guidelines emphasize third-party software risk, real-time vulnerability tracking, and incident reporting. An SBOM (Software Bill of Materials) aligns perfectly with these needs—offering a practical way to improve visibility, accelerate risk response, and ensure compliance.
Get StartedSEBI guidelines require firms to assess risks introduced by third-party software, including open-source components. An SBOM provides a detailed inventory of all software dependencies—allowing regulated entities to identify, assess, and manage risks before they affect production environments or compromise data integrity.
SEBI expects entities to have mechanisms in place for the timely detection and remediation of vulnerabilities. SBOMs help security teams map known vulnerabilities (CVEs) to specific software components and prioritize fixes. This proactive approach reduces exposure and helps maintain compliance with SEBI’s continuous risk assessment expectations.
SEBI mandates prompt reporting of cybersecurity incidents, including those linked to software flaws. With an SBOM, organizations can quickly identify if a vulnerable component exists within their systems—improving incident triage, limiting the scope of damage, and meeting SEBI’s rapid response requirements.
SBOMs serve as living compliance artifacts—demonstrating that an organization is continuously tracking software risks and maintaining a defensible security posture. By integrating SBOMs into cybersecurity programs, entities can show regulators and auditors that they are aligned with SEBI’s goals of operational resilience and robust cyber governance.
