Frequently asked questions
Why do government & psu companies need Digital Forensics?
MeitY's Cyber Crisis Management Plan and CERT-In 2022 Directions require government entities to implement structured cybersecurity frameworks. Digital Forensics gives customers, regulators and auditors independent proof that your controls work.
How long does Digital Forensics take for a government & psu company?
It depends on size, scope and how mature your processes are. After a short gap assessment we set a fixed plan, then work through implementation, internal audit and the certification audit.
Which cybersecurity standards apply to Indian government departments?
Primary frameworks include CERT-In 2022 Directions, MeitY's Cyber Crisis Management Plan (CCMP), National Cyber Security Policy, and ISO 27001. Specific critical infrastructure sectors have additional requirements from sectoral regulators (e.g., UIDAI for Aadhaar, NPCI for payments).
Is ISO 27001 certification applicable for government organizations in India?
Yes. Many government technology organizations, NIC data centers, e-governance project teams and IT wings of PSUs have achieved ISO 27001 certification. It provides the internationally recognized framework for meeting CERT-In and MeitY security requirements.
What standards do your forensics services follow?
Our services are aligned with ISO 27037 (digital evidence handling), NIST SP 800-86 (forensic techniques), and Indian Evidence Act provisions for electronic evidence. All evidence handling maintains legally defensible chain of custody.
Can your forensic reports be used in Indian courts?
Yes. Our forensic reports are prepared in accordance with Section 65B of the Indian Evidence Act and IT Act 2000/2008. Our experts provide expert witness testimony when required.
