The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has officially extended the compliance deadline for its Cybersecurity and Cyber Resilience Framework (CSCRF) by two months—now effective till August 31, 2025—for most regulated entities. The move, announced through a circular, provides additional time for entities such as brokers, portfolio managers, mutual fund houses, and other market participants to align with SEBI’s evolving cybersecurity requirements.
While the extension grants short-term relief, it also signals the growing urgency for organizations to prepare their teams to meet the rising standards of cyber resilience. The framework demands entities to establish a robust cyber posture, including the ability to withstand, respond to, and recover from cyber threats effectively.
Enter CCMP: National Certification Tailored for SEBI’s Framework Goals
In light of this compliance push, the Certified Cyber Crisis Management Professional (CCMP) course, offered by Future Crime Research Foundation (FCRF) in collaboration with CERT-In (the national nodal agency under MeitY), stands out as a strategic enabler for regulated entities.
The 4-week online program launching on July 5th is specifically designed to bridge the knowledge and readiness gap in India’s cybersecurity landscape. It offers targeted, practical training aligned with India’s regulatory requirements—precisely what SEBI’s CSCRF framework envisions. The course equips professionals to build, manage, and lead cyber crisis management frameworks in real-time, exactly the kind of operational maturity that CSCRF demands from senior leadership and CISOs.
Why This Training Matters Now More Than Ever
SEBI’s extended deadline is not a relaxation of standards—it’s a reminder of the stakes. In its circular, SEBI emphasized that regulated entities (REs) must ensure a mature and proactive cybersecurity posture. This includes not only having documented processes but also being functionally prepared to respond to ransomware attacks, data breaches, system outages, and evolving cyber risks.
The CCMP course is structured to help organizations comply with these obligations and future-proof their cybersecurity strategy. Participants include hundreds of professionals from government ministries, law enforcement, the defence sector, and major financial institutions.
Final Week to Join – Opportunity Closes Soon
With only days left until the CCMP course begins, this is the final opportunity for regulated entities and cybersecurity professionals to onboard their teams before SEBI’s extended deadline approaches. The course offers certification, access to expert sessions, case-based learning, and a lifetime credential issued by FCRF—making it a critical investment for compliance and resilience.
