What ITRI Is

  • A first-of-its-kind quantitative regulatory barometer to evaluate, score and benchmark the technical robustness of critical capital market infrastructure
  • It measures cybersecurity posture, fault tolerance and disaster-recovery capability
  • The analogy that matters: just as capital adequacy ratios measure financial health in banking, ITRI measures systemic digital resilience in capital markets

Aim: assess whether the core IT backbones running trading, clearing, settlement and depository systems can withstand, absorb and rapidly recover from:

  • Operational shocks
  • Cyberattacks
  • Software glitches
  • Extreme transaction-volume surges

— without destabilising the broader financial system.

The Nine-Parameter Architecture with Weights

The parameters are weighted by systemic criticality:

  • Availability — 20 per cent
  • Cybersecurity — 20 per cent
  • Business Continuity — 10 per cent
  • Reliability — 10 per cent
  • Scalability — 5 per cent

Along with integrity, governance, monitoring, modularity and flexibility.
