RBI PSS Audit

Rigorous systems and cybersecurity auditing for licensed Payment System Operators (PSOs). Fulfill RBI's System Audit Report (SAR) requirements under the PSS Act.

Payment Networks

RBI PSS Cybersecurity Framework

Under the **Payment and Settlement Systems (PSS) Act, 2007**, clearinghouses, card payment networks, and cross-border remittance providers operate under central bank oversight. Because they aggregate high-volume transaction flows, the **Reserve Bank of India (RBI)** requires regular independent System Audits.

Our comprehensive RBI PSS Audit examines the security, reliability, and efficiency of your payment applications and infrastructure. We inspect transaction routing mechanisms, data localization compliance, identity governance, access logs, and disaster recovery readiness to satisfy RBI mandates.
