In the evolving landscape of cybersecurity threats and regulatory requirements in India, organizations need a structured approach to evaluate and improve their security incident management capabilities. The Security Incident Management Audit Program serves as a crucial tool for organizations to assess their readiness to handle security incidents, ensure compliance with mandatory reporting requirements to CERT-In, and maintain alignment with the IT Act 2000 and associated rules. This document is essential when organizations need to demonstrate compliance, improve their security posture, or respond to regulatory changes. It encompasses comprehensive audit procedures, compliance requirements, reporting templates, and evaluation criteria, providing a systematic framework for both internal and external auditors to assess the effectiveness of security incident management processes.
