The control plane for Banking & BFSI cybersecurity.

Banks, NBFCs and insurers carry regulated balance sheets, deep vendor chains and zero tolerance for downtime. Zeron unifies internal, external and third-party risk into one control plane — and prices it in dollars your board and regulators both understand.

The landscape

Regulated, targeted, and accountable.

Financial institutions sit at the intersection of strict mandates and relentless attackers — with the board, not just the SOC, on the hook.

Regulatory pressure

RBI Cyber Security Framework and IT governance directions, SEBI mandates, IRDAI guidelines, PCI-DSS, DPDPA and global standards (DORA, GDPR, MAS TRM) all demand continuous, evidenced control — not annual point-in-time audits.

Threat landscape

Ransomware that halts core banking, fraud across digital channels, supply-chain compromise through fintech partners, and credential attacks on customer-facing apps — each a direct hit to capital, continuity and trust.

Key risks

What you are carrying.

Core banking exposure

An outage or compromise of core systems halts transactions, breaches SLAs and triggers regulatory reporting clocks within hours.

Third-party & fintech partners

Co-lending, BIN-sponsor and API partnerships extend your attack surface into dozens of vendors you do not control.

Ransomware continuity

Recovery time, not just prevention, is now a board metric — and a regulator question after every incident.

Regulatory penalties

Missed mandates and late breach reporting carry direct financial and licensing consequences.

Digital channel fraud

Mobile and net-banking surfaces are probed continuously; account-takeover losses compound reputational damage.

Board accountability

Directors must demonstrate they understood and priced cyber risk — qualitative heat-maps no longer satisfy.

How Zeron helps

One control plane, mapped to your modules.

Zeron consolidates the BFSI security stack into four modules feeding a single, quantified posture.

InternoInternal posture

Continuous internal attack-surface and control-effectiveness scoring across core banking, cloud and endpoints — drift surfaced the moment it appears.

Vendor PulseThird-party risk

Continuously scores fintech and supply-chain partners, exposes concentration risk, and replaces once-a-year questionnaires with live monitoring.

ConformityCompliance automation

Maps controls once and verifies them against live telemetry for RBI, SEBI, PCI-DSS, DPDPA and ISO — with auditor-ready dossiers on demand.

Cyber NavigatorCRQ

Prices breach impact as Cyber Value-at-Risk, models investment trade-offs, and turns posture into board-grade reporting in dollars.

◆ ZAK agents

Zeron’s governed ZAK agents act on what the modules surface — triaging exposures, drafting remediation, gathering evidence and assembling board packs — every action logged and policy-bound for audit.

Mandates

Mapped to every regulator you answer to.

Connect once; report to all of them — across India and your global footprint.

FAQ

Banking & BFSI, answered.

Does Zeron support RBI cyber-security compliance for banks and NBFCs?+

Yes. Zeron maps controls to the RBI Cyber Security Framework and IT governance directions, verifies them continuously against live telemetry, and produces auditor-ready evidence — alongside SEBI, PCI-DSS, DPDPA and ISO 27001.

How does Zeron quantify cyber risk for a bank?+

Through its Cyber Navigator (CRQ) module, Zeron expresses breach impact as Cyber Value-at-Risk — exposure in dollars — so boards can weigh cyber against other financial risks and justify security investment.

Can Zeron manage third-party and fintech-partner risk?+

Yes. Vendor Pulse continuously scores partners, surfaces concentration risk across co-lending and BIN-sponsor relationships, and replaces annual questionnaires with live monitoring.

Is Zeron suitable for NBFCs and insurers, not just banks?+

Yes. The same control plane serves NBFCs and insurers, mapping to IRDAI and applicable RBI/SEBI mandates while quantifying risk in financial terms for the board.
