• PTA has formulated “Cyber Security Framework”.
• The framework is based on Critical Telecom Data and Infrastructure Security Regulation.
• It defines the obligation for auditors and PTA’s licensees.

PTA has developed a “Cyber Security Framework” after thorough discussion; and consultation with the telecom industry and top cyber security experts. This framework, which outlines the duties of auditors and PTA licensees; is based on the Critical Telecom Data; and Infrastructure Security Regulation (CTDISR) by PTA. It gives the auditors direction for carrying out gap assessments; in light of the PTA’s Cyber Security Regulations, including, if required; interpretation and expectations against each security control. A maturity model that classifies the controls according to their criticality; has also been developed as part of the framework.
