Such testing is performed only under written Rules of Engagement, using approved tools, environments and testing windows. Critical production systems may be assessed using controlled or passive techniques where necessary.
Typical evidence includes:
- Policies, procedures and system inventories.
- Network and application architecture.
- Access and privileged-account records.
- Security configurations and change records.
- Logs, alerts and incident records.
- Patch and vulnerability reports.
- Backup restoration and DR-test records.
- Transaction, reconciliation and settlement evidence.
- Third-party agreements and assurance reports.
- Previous audit findings and closure evidence.
Incomplete or unavailable evidence may result in scope limitations or qualified conclusions.
Depending on the engagement, deliverables may include an executive summary, clause-wise compliance matrix, detailed audit report, evidence index, risk-rated findings, technical assessment reports, remediation tracker and follow-up validation report.
Findings are evaluated according to regulatory significance, likelihood, business impact and exploitability. Technical vulnerabilities may be classified using CVSS and EPSS and mapped to applicable CWE/CVE references. Critical and high-risk findings are communicated through the agreed escalation mechanism.
Codec Networks provides practical recommendations and may perform follow-up validation after corrective actions are implemented. To preserve auditor independence, responsibility for selecting, implementing and operating remediation controls remains with the auditee organization.
Codec Networks applies NDA-based confidentiality, restricted access, secure evidence handling and protected report-delivery mechanisms. Information is shared only with authorised recipients, except where disclosure is required by applicable law, CERT-In, RBI or another competent Indian authority. The audit remains a point-in-time assessment; continuing compliance, remediation and control operation remain the auditee organization’s responsibility.
It is an independent assessment of an organization’s NEFT-related systems, cybersecurity controls and operational processes as per RBI NEFT System Procedural Guidelines, Codec Networks conducts the assessment using a risk-based and evidence-driven approach aligned with CERT-In audit-practice guidelines.
The audit is relevant to:
- Entities applying for direct NEFT participation.
- Existing NEFT participants.
- Sponsor banks providing NEFT services to sub-members.
- Sub-member institutions operating through sponsor arrangements.
- Foreign-bank branches in India participating in NEFT.
- Relevant technology and service providers included within a participant’s audit scope.
Final applicability depends on the entity’s NEFT participation model and RBI requirements.
A pre-operational audit applies to eligible entities seeking NEFT participationas as per guidelines Existing NEFT participants are required to undertake an annual CERT-In empaneled IS audit as per guidelines Additional assessments may be appropriate after major system, infrastructure or service-provider changes.
No. The audit includes the cybersecurity requirements and relevant operational controls involving transaction processing, availability, credit or return, positive confirmation, reconciliation, settlement, record retention, incident handling and sponsor/sub-member oversight.
No. The audit provides an independent, point-in-time professional opinion based on the agreed scope and evidence. RBI alone determines admission to, continued participation in or regulatory action relating to the NEFT system.
The scope may cover NEFT applications, databases, servers, network devices, SFMS/INFINET connectivity, interfaces, data-centre and DR environments, access management, logging, SOC monitoring, backup, BCP/DR, transaction monitoring, reconciliation and relevant outsourced services.
It contains cybersecurity control areas, including asset inventory, unsupported systems, network segregation, access control, MFA, patch and change management, email security, continuous monitoring, DR testing, backups, secure development, log management, VA/PT, cryptography, digital signatures, transaction monitoring, SOC and SFMS/INFINET security.
Audit depth is based on system criticality, transaction volumes, customer and settlement impact, external exposure, previous findings, incidents, technology changes, third-party dependencies and potential impact on confidentiality, integrity and availability. Higher-risk areas receive deeper sampling and validation.
