Stay Ahead of the Game: Cyber Security Regulations in India – CISO Handbook

Cyber threats are becoming faster, smarter, and more damaging than ever before. For businesses in India, compliance with cyber security regulations isn’t just about avoiding penalties — it’s about safeguarding sensitive data, maintaining customer trust, and ensuring business continuity.

To help you navigate India’s complex regulatory landscape, we’ve created the CISO Handbook of Cyber Security Regulations in India — your ultimate guide for compliance, resilience, and risk management.

Why Cyber Security Regulations Matter

• Rising cybercrime: India is among the top 5 most targeted nations for ransomware and phishing.
• Stricter penalties: Non-compliance with IT rules and data protection mandates can lead to hefty fines and reputational loss.
• Data protection is business-critical: With the Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDP Act, 2023) being enforced, organizations must align their policies with evolving privacy laws.
• Sector-specific compliance: Banking, healthcare, telecom, and insurance are under tighter cyber scrutiny.
