The CBK Cybersecurity Framework is a cybersecurity framework established by the Central Bank of Kuwait (CBK) to help regulated financial institutions strengthen cybersecurity governance, manage cyber risks, protect critical systems, and improve operational resilience. It provides guidance and requirements for maintaining a secure financial services environment.
The framework primarily applies to banks, financial institutions, payment service providers, fintech companies, and other entities regulated by the Central Bank of Kuwait. Organizations supporting critical financial operations may also need to align with CBK cybersecurity requirements.
No. The CBK Cybersecurity Framework is not a certifiable standard like ISO 27001. It is a regulatory cybersecurity framework that organizations must comply with to meet the Central Bank of Kuwait's cybersecurity expectations and requirements.
The framework requires organizations to establish a structured cybersecurity risk management program that includes risk identification, assessment, treatment, monitoring, and reporting. This helps financial institutions proactively address cyber threats and maintain regulatory compliance.
CyberArrow GRC helps organizations automate CBK compliance activities through centralized governance, risk management, policy management, evidence collection, workflow automation, compliance monitoring, and audit-ready reporting. This enables organizations to maintain continuous compliance while reducing manual effort and improving visibility across their cybersecurity program.
