CERT-In
Security Audit

CERT-In has been operational since January 2004. CERT-In Empanelled, which stands for Computer Emergency Responses Team – India, is the main central team in charge of all computer security-related issues in India. It is a government program to address unforeseen problems in the information security industry. The national organization CERT-In is charged with carrying out a number of tasks related to cyber security, including gathering and disseminating data on cyber incidents, forecasting and notifying of cyber incidents, managing the emergency response, and publishing guidelines, advisories, and vulnerability notes.

Methodology

The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology oversees the group known as CERT-In. The Indian CERT offers incident prevention, response, and security quality management services, just like any other country’s CERT. The responsibility for providing defense against cyber security threats falls on the information security specialists that make up the CERT (Computer Emergency Response Team) panel. The group of experts also has the responsibility of keeping an eye out for cyberattacks on the internet and responding appropriately to them.

Why do organizations need it?

By gathering, evaluating, and sharing data on cyber incidents, CERT-In Empaneled complies with the obligations outlined in section 70B of the Acts to support Indian internet users in putting precautionary measures in place to limit the risk of cyber security incidents.

  • Information gathering, analysis, and distribution regarding cyber events.
  • Responding to urgent cyber security circumstances.
  • Forecasts and alerts of responding to cyber incidents.
  • Such cybersecurity-related incidents may be required.
  • Releasing guidelines, cautions, vulnerability notes, and white papers for cyber incidents.

Our Approach

Our cyber security approach prioritizes a layered, proactive defense strategy encompassing robust network security, vigilant endpoint protection, strict access controls, regular vulnerability assessments, employee security awareness training, and a rapid incident response plan, ensuring the protection of sensitive data and systems against evolving cyber threats by focusing on the “people, process, and technology” pillars.

Benefits

Cybersecurity is important because it protects organizational assets and services from malicious attacks and safeguards all types of data, including but not limited to sensitive data, protected health information (PHI), and personally identifiable information (PII) from theft and loss.

Improve Trust & Reliability

Applications and websites must adhere to robust data privacy and protection policies to boost customer confidence and reliability.

Boosting client credibility

A high credibility factor is always present when obtaining your certification from knowledgeable CERT-In accredited businesses.

Improved Security Posture

While organizations aim for certification and a safe-to-host advantage in the public domain, their security exercise may unintentionally enchance their posture.
