Cyber Security and Crime Act, 2021 (Act No. 7 of 2021), s. 53 (Reporting Cyber Threats) · Read the law's page
- Immediately inform the National Computer Security Incidence Response Team of an attack, intrusion, or other disruption liable to hinder the functioning of another computer system or network.
- Report the incident to the Team within 7 days of its occurrence even if you already gave the immediate notice section 53(1) requires; failing to do so, without reasonable excuse, is itself an offence distinct from any liability for the disruption reported.
- This binds a person or institution that operates a computer system or network, whether public or private, not a licensed or sector-specific status; operating a computer system or network at all is enough to place an app in scope.
- The Act does not name a reporting channel, form, or contact point for the National Computer Security Incidence Response Team, unlike India's CERT-In directions or similarly detailed regimes; confirm the current reporting channel directly with the Team, housed within the Ministry of Communication, Technology and Innovation.
