Organizations face growing challenges in documenting and testing hundreds of cybersecurity controls to meet both international and local standards. With compliance requirements becoming more complex, navigating this landscape can be overwhelming. Crowe Indonesia Teknologi simplifies these processes by offering a unified control framework that streamlines compliance and helps organizations manage cybersecurity requirements more effectively.

The Importance of a Unified Framework

Compliance across multiple cybersecurity standards can be a daunting task for organizations, especially large ones that must manage hundreds of controls. With regulatory requirements often dispersed across various standards, organizations struggle to track and document compliance efficiently. A governance, risk, and compliance solution can centralize documentation, helping businesses maintain compliance more effectively.

Crowe Indonesia Teknologi's integrated control framework simplifies this process by consolidating global and local regulations into a unified structure. This framework allows organizations to apply a single test procedure across all controls, streamlining compliance and enhancing the alignment of cybersecurity efforts with industry standards.

Aligning Global Standards to Local Requirements

Global cybersecurity standards, such as ISO/IEC 27001 and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework (CSF), offer a strong foundation for organizations to assess and strengthen their ability to prevent, detect, and manage cybersecurity risks. However, these standards must be tailored to meet the specific regulatory and operational needs of Indonesia’s diverse industries.

For instance, financial institutions, particularly banks, must adhere to local regulations, few of which include:

  • Law Number 27 Tahun 2022 on Personal Data Protection (PDP).
  • Bank Indonesia Regulations (PBI), such as PBI Number 2 of 2024 on Information System Security and Cyber Resilience for Payment System Providers, Money Market, and Foreign Exchange Market Participants.
  • OJK’s Circular Notes (SEOJK), including SEOJK Number 29 of 2024 on Cyber Security and Resilience for Commercial Banks.
  • Regulations by the Ministry of Communications and Information (Kominfo), such as Number 5 of 2020 on Private Electronic System Operators.
