Critical information infrastructure protection and cyber incident response establish national cybersecurity functions, mandatory disclosures, and penalties for non-compliance.

The Central Government must appoint the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team, with a Director-General and prescribed staff, as the national agency for cyber security incident response. Its functions include collecting, analysing and disseminating incident information; issuing forecasts and alerts; implementing emergency measures; coordinating response activities; and issuing information-security guidelines, advisories, vulnerability notes and whitepapers. To discharge these functions, it may require information from, and issue directions to, service providers, intermediaries, data centres, body corporate and other persons.
