The banking industry is facing a major challenge in data security compliance, and industry compliance regulations are becoming more stringent.

As we enter the year 2026, the situation of data security regulation has clearly been escalated. On June 13th, six departments including the Cyberspace Administration of China, the People's Bank of China, and the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission jointly issued the "Financial Information Service Data Classification and Grading Guidelines" to guide financial institutions in carrying out data classification and grading and identifying important data. With the further deepening of digital transformation in the financial industry, data has become a key element in the development of the banking industry, and data classification and grading is the foundation of data security work. "If we want data to play a role, we cannot ignore data security," said a business professional from a city commercial bank data management department.
