Cyber threats are evolving at an unprecedented pace, and financial institutions – especially SMEs but certainly all Financial Services providers – are prime targets. With South Africa’s new “Joint Standard on Cybersecurity and Cyber Resilience”, compliance is no longer optional; it’s critical for survival and it’s mandated. 

The Joint Standard on Cybersecurity and Cyber Resilience is a regulatory framework introduced by South Africa’s Prudential Authority (PA) and the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA). It is designed to strengthen cybersecurity governance, risk management, and incident response within financial institutions, including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). It’s mandatory and the compliance deadline is set for 1 June 2025.

Join us for an exclusive online event where cybersecurity specialists from SevenC and our partner, Forensic Sciences Institute (FSI) break down the key requirements of the “Joint Standard”, helping you navigate its complexities and implement practical, cost-effective measures to protect your business. You’ll gain actionable insights on what is needed to get compliant in the areas of IT governance, risk management, and incident response, and to fortify your organisation against rising cyber threats like ransomware, phishing, and data breaches. 

With regulatory enforcement ramping up and cyberattacks on the rise, now is the time to act. This event is your opportunity to stay ahead of emerging risks, safeguard client data, and strengthen your business resilience. 

And it’ll put you in touch with the very specialists that can help you with your compliance strategy and implementation, SevenC and FSI, so that we can roadmap your next steps.
