Under the rules and directives issued by CERT-In (Indian Computer Emergency Response Team) under the Information Technology Act, 2000, it is legally mandatory for Service providers, Data centres, and Body corporate, among others, to report cyber security incidents.
The mandate for reporting cyber incidents helps CERT-In to effectively monitor, track, and respond to cyber threats across the country, enhancing overall cyber security preparedness.
The Government of India, through CERT-In, issues specific directions detailing the types of incidents to be reported, the format of reporting, and the timelines within which such reporting must be done. Failure to comply with these directions can attract penalties.
