Bank of Thailand Cyber Resilience Guidelines for Financial Institutions
Bank of Thailand mandatory cyber resilience guidelines for all BOT-regulated financial institutions. 26 requirements across governance and oversight, identification (asset management, risk assessment, threat intelligence), protection (access control, data security, network security, application security, change management), detection (monitoring, vulnerability assessment, penetration testing), and response and recovery (incident management, business continuity, crisis communication, lessons learned). Structured around NIST CSF five-function model with BOT-specific supervisory expectations.
