Cyber Security Framework Audit
Independent assessment of your compliance with the National Bank of Georgia’s (NBG) Cybersecurity Framework – closing gaps before regulators find them.
Why This Audit Matters
Financial institutions (Commercial Banks, MicroBanks and Financial Bureaus) and other regulated entities in Georgia are required to comply with the National Bank of Georgia’s Cybersecurity Framework. Non-compliance carries regulatory, reputational, and operational risk. An independent framework audit gives you a clear, evidence-based picture of where you stand, before the regulator asks.
