Data classification, governance and DLP
Sensitive data is labelled, access is controlled and leaks are stopped, so a large share of DPDP work is already done.

Good habits make compliance the default.
Like good health: keep the daily routine and you stop worrying about BP, sugar or stress. Follow the right practices every day, and compliance with each new guideline becomes the default.
Regular phishing simulation and staff awareness
Staff learn to spot the most common way attackers get in, which covers a big part of cyber risk.
A new RBI guideline arrives
No panic. The bank was already doing it as best practice, and the evidence is ready.
Three steps to better compliance health, with one partner.

Your Compliance Partner
We walk the journey with you and keep your compliance score improving.
New guidelines keep arriving. Good habits keep you ready.
Three sets of obligations are on bank leadership's desk at once. Banks with the right routines already in place meet them as a matter of course.
New RBI cyber directions
RBI's new framework for UCBs places every bank in one of four levels, by digital depth and payment-system links, and sets the controls for each.
DPDP obligations
Consent, security safeguards, breach reporting and data-principal rights must be operational across the bank.
Audit and fraud scrutiny
RBI's Fraud Risk Management Directions, 2024 expect Board oversight, early-warning signals and evidence-backed closure.
AI-driven cyber attacks
Attackers now use AI to write convincing phishing emails and find weak spots faster. Defences and staff awareness have to keep pace.
Compliance means more than RBI and DPDP.
Get these five areas right every day, and the regulations follow. Most of them apply to any bank.
01
Regulatory
RBI cyber framework for UCBs (2026), DPDP Act and Rules, Fraud Risk Management Directions (2024)
02
Cybersecurity
Phishing and staff awareness, email security, Microsoft 365 security hardening
03
Data
Data classification, governance and controls, data leakage prevention (DLP)
04
Technology and cloud
Due diligence on cloud use, licensing cost optimisation, certified hardware and software
05
Management visibility
Banking MIS, CEO and Board dashboards

Questions bank leaders ask us
Something else? Write to info@themaverics.com.
Which compliance controls apply to our bank?
It depends on your bank's type, size and digital footprint. Our applicability check maps the controls that apply to you, so you work only on what matters.
How do you measure our compliance score without disrupting work?
We work with your team through short discussions and a review of existing records and settings. Normal operations continue throughout.
We don't have enough IT staff. How do we reach our target score?
That is part of the journey. Alongside the roadmap, we provide the manpower and skills to deliver it, sized to your budget.
How should we report compliance health to our Board?
A simple score, tracked over time, with the actions behind it. We can build CEO and Board dashboards that show this in one view.
Can you work alongside our existing vendors and core banking provider?
Yes. We work with your existing systems and partners, adding tracking, security, reporting and dashboards on top.
Is a phishing simulation safe for our staff and systems?
Yes. Every campaign needs written management authorisation, an agreed target list, pilot validation and readiness checks. Results are reported in aggregate.
What happens in the 30-minute conversation?
A focused conversation with our Founder & CEO on where your bank stands and which next step makes sense. No obligation.
