The Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago shared a draft of its Cybersecurity Guidelines for comments by the public on June 29, 2023. These Guidelines, when finalised in mid-September 2023, will be applicable to institutions regulated by the Central Bank. Other companies are encouraged to adopt the Guidelines voluntarily as a means of managing their cybersecurity risks.

The draft Guidelines incorporate 20 requirements arranged under 6 categories: (i) governance; (ii) risk management; (iii) awareness and training; (iv) business continuity and disaster recovery; (v) testing; and (vi) incident management and reporting.

The draft Guidelines are available for download here. Also available as background material are the video recording of a Webinar hosted by the Central Bank on Best Practices in Cybersecurity on June 6, 2023 and the accompanying PowerPoint Presentation.
