KEY POINTS

·        Clause 25 in the Data Protection Bill 2021 says that data fiduciaries should report any personal and non-personal data breach incident within 72 hours of becoming aware of a breach.

·        Even the golden standard for data protection, namely the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR), has a clause for reporting data breach incidents within a stringent timeline.

·        If incidences are reported, the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team and others can alert organisations about the associated security vulnerabilities.

·        Firms not yet affected can also take precautionary measures such as deploying security patches and improving their cyber security infrastructure.

·        But firms are reluctant to notify the breach incidents to the regulators. This is because any security or privacy breach has a negative impact on the reputation of the associated firms.

·        The government must empanel third party cyber security auditors for the conduct of periodical cyber security impact assessments, primarily amongst all the government departments.

·        The Ministry, as part of cyber security assurance initiatives of the Government of India, to evaluate and certify IT security products and protection profiles, has set up Common Criteria Testing Laboratories and certification bodies across the country.
