CERT-In

CERT-In is the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team, the national body under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology that handles cybersecurity incidents, issues security advisories, and coordinates vulnerability response for organizations operating in India. Its 2022 directions require covered entities to report certain cyber incidents within six hours and to keep system logs for 180 days within India, obligations that reach many AI and cloud providers serving Indian customers. For compliance teams, CERT-In is a regulator and advisory source that can shape incident reporting timelines, data retention duties, and vendor security expectations for any business with Indian operations or users.
