Regulatory Compliance

IS Audit (RBI)
Information Systems Audit & Compliance

Overview

In the highly regulated financial ecosystem, robust IT governance and security controls are critical to ensure operational integrity and regulatory compliance. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) mandates Information Systems (IS) Audits for banks, NBFCs, and regulated entities to assess the effectiveness of their IT systems, cybersecurity posture, and risk management frameworks.

RBI IS Audit evaluates key areas such as IT governance, cybersecurity controls, data protection, system resilience, regulatory compliance, and risk management—ensuring that financial institutions operate in a secure and controlled environment.

At Kalkin Intelligence, we deliver comprehensive, audit-ready IS Audit services aligned with RBI guidelines—helping organizations strengthen their IT controls, mitigate risks, and meet regulatory expectations with confidence.
