Securities and Exchange Board of India launches three IT platforms to centralise regulatory communications, digitise adjudication and automate cyber audit supervision

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) launched three IT solutions on March 24, 2026 aimed at speeding up and simplifying engagement with external entities, enabling paperless quasi-judicial proceedings, and strengthening cybersecurity supervision of SEBI-regulated entities. The releases cover the Single Universal Platform for Communications (SUPCOMS), an e-adjudication portal, and the AI-enabled Cyber-Sec Audit Compliance (C-SAC) platform. SUPCOMS is intended to replace email-centric interactions by centralising official communications with external entities, creating an accessible audit trail and “institutional memory”; it is live via SEBI’s eServices portal and available to registered intermediaries and other entities that interact with SEBI via portal login. The e-adjudication portal is operational and, initially for adjudication proceedings, allows noticees and authorised representatives to access and download Show Cause Notices, submit replies and post-hearing documents, make procedural requests (including document inspection and time extensions), and participate via an online hearings module; it is integrated with SEBI’s internal Case Management System. C-SAC will analyse cyber audit reports submitted by regulated entities through the SI Portal, identify compliance gaps and risk areas, produce risk scores and comparative analysis to support SEBI’s risk-based supervision, and share the analysis with entities by email after submission of their compliance report.
