The Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) and the National Critical Information Infrastructure Protection Centre (NCIIPC) undertake cyber security audits under the Information Technology Act and related regulations. CERT-In has empanelled 200 cyber security organisations to conduct these audits.

Among key measures taken to bolster cyber resilience:

1. Sector-Specific CSIRTs: CERT-In has issued guidelines for the establishment of State and Sectoral Computer Security Incident Response Teams (CSIRTs). CSIRT-Fin (Finance sector) and CSIRT-Power (Power sector) are already operational, tasked with coordinating sector-specific cyber issues and enhancing resilience.

2. Indigenous Tools by C-DAC: The Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) has developed a suite of indigenous cyber security tools, including mobile security systems, digital forensics tools, and log analytics platforms, thereby reducing dependence on foreign technologies.

3. Cyber Crisis Management Plan (CCMP): CERT-In has devised a national CCMP for all government bodies to counter cyber-attacks and cyber terrorism. This plan provides a strategic framework to guide recovery efforts and improve institutional resilience.

o CERT-In has also published guidelines and templates to assist the creation and implementation of crisis management plans at the state and sectoral levels.

4. Awareness and Training Workshops: CERT-In regularly organises capacity-building workshops for government departments and key institutions. So far, 205 CCMP workshops have been conducted to familiarise stakeholders with the evolving cyber threat landscape and response protocols.
