The National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) streamlines the procedure for inspections on information security issues. This will improve control over the proper use of facilities for cryptographic protection of NBU’s data, in particular whether banks and other institutions that are direct participants of NBU electronic payment system and/or information tasks comply with the requirements for the use of the facilities for NBU’s information protection specified in the relevant NBU regulations.
It will allow to introduce such a method of control as regular reporting by entities on the use of the NBU’s information protection facilities.
Respective provisions are set out in NBU Board Resolution No. 38 On Amending the Regulation on the Procedure for the Inspection of Information Security in Banking and Other Institutions Using the Facilities for Protection of the NBU`s Information dated 13 February 2019.
Resolution No. 38 comes into effect on 31 March 2019.
Please, be reminded that under Article 7 of the Law of Ukraine On the National Bank of Ukraine, the NBU establishes rules for the protection of information, defines the procedure, requirements and measures for ensuring information security in the banking system of Ukraine and monitors their implementation.
