OJK-DFA compliance

OJK Digital Financial Services Regulation (Indonesia)

Indonesia's Otoritas Jasa Keuangan (OJK), the Financial Services Authority, sets governance, risk-management and information-security expectations for the financial services entities it regulates, including a growing focus on digital financial services. Pelta helps regulated entities in Indonesia turn these expectations into a managed control set with linked evidence.

Who it's for

Does OJK-DFA apply to you?

  • Banks, financial institutions and fintechs regulated by OJK in Indonesia
  • Digital financial services providers operating in Indonesia
  • Teams preparing for OJK supervision and reporting

What OJK expects

OJK's expectations for regulated financial entities cover governance and risk management, information security, resilience and the responsible delivery of digital financial services. As with other financial regulators, the emphasis is on board-level accountability, a baseline of security controls, monitoring and incident handling, and oversight of the third parties that support financial services.

OJK regulations are issued in Indonesian and updated over time, and the specific rules depend on your entity type and activities. Treat this as a general overview and confirm the current applicable OJK regulations with qualified local counsel.

Recurring themes

  • Governance: board-approved policies and clear accountability for information security and risk.
  • Risk management: identifying, assessing and treating technology and security risk.
  • Security controls: access control, protection of data, and secure operations.
  • Monitoring and incident handling: detecting, responding to and reporting incidents.
  • Resilience: business continuity and recovery for critical financial services.
  • Third-party risk: governing outsourced and technology-provider arrangements.

How Pelta helps

Because OJK's themes overlap heavily with international standards like ISO 27001 and with other financial-sector regulations, most of the underlying control work is reusable. Pelta lets you manage OJK expectations as a control set with linked evidence, reuse overlapping controls from frameworks you already run, and keep everything ready for supervision rather than assembling it under time pressure.

Common pitfalls to avoid

  • Assuming international certifications alone satisfy local OJK requirements without mapping to them.
  • Underestimating resilience and incident-reporting expectations for critical services.
  • Overlooking third-party and outsourcing governance.
