Guidelines on IS Policy
Reserve Bank of India has come out with a comprehensive policy for information security. This policy is primarily aimed at providing a set of guidelines relating to Information Security with prime reference to Information Technology. The guidelines issued under the policy have been made applicable to all service providers, outsources entities and other agencies. We are forwarding a summary of the Information Security Policy to you. It is imperative that you acknowledge it and comply with the Information Security Policy of the Bank in letter and spirit. You have to make it mandatory for all the personnel deputed to RBI to follow these guidelines.
Summary
Information technology-based systems have now entrenched deeply in the functions of the Reserve Bank of India. IT has helped in the conduct of various activities, covering its entire range of operations which are aimed at better housekeeping, improved customer service and overall systemic efficiency. The large-scale use of IT and Information Systems and the integration of various activities at RBI, primarily by networking its operational departments and inter departmental connectivity of the operational departments has brought in a whole new set of issues with far reaching security implications. With the broad information security (IS) policy in place, it becomes necessary to define various aspects of the processes and procedures to be followed in order to achieve the broad tenets of the IS policy. This document is primarily aimed at providing a set of guidelines relating to IS with prime reference to Information Technology. In addition to these, other guidelines relating to general security would also have to be followed. These guidelines are also applicable to all service providers. All the service providers shall be governed by the confidentiality requirements associated with the contractual obligations between such entities and the Bank and shall follow these in letter and spirit.
As a part of the IS policy, there are 4 sub policies along with the General Standards/Guidelines prescribed in the IS policy which have to be adhered to. A brief description of the sub policy which is relevant to the service providers is as under
The vendor shall ensure that there are proper procedures relating to configuration management and knowledge transfer among its employees within the organization as also to the Bank’s authorized personnel so as to ensure support for the outsourcing function of the Bank.
The vendor shall not outsource its activities to a third party. However in case of exceptions, the vendor shall inform the Bank and seek the Bank’s approval prior to the
appointment of such third party. In such cases, they should necessarily comply with the IS policy of the Bank in letter and spirit. Explicit confirmation in this regard shall be obtained from the third-party vendors before extending such facilities.
The vendors shall obtain assurances from third party supplier of service, if any, that their staff and/or agents shall follow sound codes of practice in handling Information Systems as per the IS sub policies of the bank.
The vendors may note that the Bank’s internal IS policies are confidential in nature and are therefore not meant to be made public.
The code of conduct prepared by the Bank relating to the roles and responsibilities of vendors shall be followed in letter and spirit.
UNDERTAKING BY VENDOR/APPLICANT
We have read and understood the above IS Policy and undertake to abide by the said policy of the Bank in letter and spirit.
