Central Bank of The Gambia Cybersecurity Guidelines for Financial Institutions 2022

The Central Bank of The Gambia issued these guidelines to establish minimum cybersecurity governance and risk management standards for all authorized financial institutions. The framework mandates the appointment of a Chief Information Security Officer, the formation of a Cybersecurity Steering Committee, and the implementation of robust disaster recovery, business continuity, and outsourcing controls. Institutions must conduct regular independent assessments, maintain continuous staff awareness training, report high-impact incidents promptly, and face sanctions for non-compliance to ensure systemic cyber resilience.
