INDUSTRY BLUEPRINT — BANKING & FINANCIAL SERVICES
Cryptographic Discovery Without Crossing the Bank's Own Perimeter.
Core Banking Systems, UPI/SWIFT payment rails, and cardholder data environments carry the highest concentration of long-lived cryptographic risk in any sector — and the strictest data-residency constraints on how that risk can even be assessed.
- RBI Q-SAFE Committee & Master Directions 2026 Aligned
- Zero Cloud Dependency & Zero Data Egress Guarantee
- CycloneDX CBOM Delivered Inside Your Perimeter
WHY THIS MATTERS HERE
The Sector-Specific Risk Factors That Shape This Engagement
Each of the three factors below directly affects which systems are in scope, how the discovery must be conducted, and what the CBOM output is mapped to in the regulatory report.
Data residency is not optional
RBI's 2026 Cybersecurity Directions hold banks accountable for third-party security — meaning any tool that touches source code or transaction infrastructure becomes a vendor-risk liability of its own. A cloud-based scanner is a third-party dependency. AQRA, running inside your perimeter, is not.
10-year data, 5-year crypto shelf-life
KYC, AML, and loan records carry multi-year statutory retention. Encryption chosen today has to outlive the retention period, not just today's threat model. RSA-2048 may not hold to 2034 — your KYC records will.
Legacy protocol sprawl
Core Banking Systems, ATM switches, and UPI/IMPS gateways routinely run cryptography that predates current standards — often undocumented and undiscovered until an audit forces the question.
DEPLOYMENT MODEL
Where AQRA Runs in This Environment
Discovery executes inside the bank's own SOC or private cloud via a provisioned VM — read-only access to source repositories, SPAN/TAP-based network mirroring for runtime audit, zero data leaving the bank's perimeter. Output is a CycloneDX CBOM the bank owns outright.
