Overview : IRDAI Compliance

According to the IRDAI (Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India), all insurance companies must safeguard sensitive information. While sharing information is essential, it is also crucial to ensure that adequate protocols and procedures are in place to prevent data leakage/theft. With the rapid growth of IT assets, the cyber threat landscape has grown exponentially. Cyber security recommendations become crucial in lessening current internal and external dangers to insurers, as well as chances to improve cyber fraud prevention procedures. On October 31, 2016, guidance for developing a comprehensive information and cyber security strategy for the insurance industry was released. Later revisions were introduced with the goal of providing adequate cyber risk mitigation mechanisms.
