CICRA Compliance compliance and audit

What it is

CICRA governs how credit information companies and their members collect, store and share credit data in India, under RBI oversight. Compliance requires robust data-security controls and, for entities seeking specified-user access to credit data, certification by a qualified information-systems (CISA) auditor.

Who must comply

The four RBI-licensed credit bureaus, their member credit institutions, and fintechs or entities seeking specified-user status to access credit data.

Frequently Asked Questions

The four credit bureaus, their member lenders, and any fintech or entity applying for specified-user status to consume credit data. If you touch credit-information data, CICRA's preservation and security duties apply.

RBI requires certification from a CISA-certified auditor confirming you can comply with CICRA's credit-information preservation and security rules. IntelligenceX delivers this audit and attestation.

Usually a few weeks once your data-security and access controls are documented and testable. We run the gap assessment first, help close any findings, then perform the CISA-led certification audit and issue the attestation for bureau onboarding.
