Why India’s New Cybersecurity Rules are controversial

Abhishek Sharma by Abhishek Sharma
June 7, 2022
indias new cyber security rules

Cert-In (Directive of the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team) released a set of recommendations for all firms, intermediaries, data centers, and government agencies on April 28. Any data breach should be disclosed to the government within 6 hours of the enterprise getting notified about it. Cloud computing and VPN providers will be forced to keep client identities and IP addresses for a minimum of five years even if consumers cancel their contracts.

The Indian government is pushing ahead with a contentious new order mandating cybersecurity and internet privacy measures, including a requirement for corporations to report data breaches or face penalties. Despite resistance from the country’s technology sector, India’s IT minister indicated that the government would not revise these plans.

Rajeev Chandrashekhar, India’s IT minister, told reporters that technology businesses who refuse to follow the CERT-In regulation could leave the country. He stated that if you run a VPN service, a data center, or a cloud computing business, you have to know who is using your service and for what purpose. He remarked that if these rules aren’t for you, then this isn’t the place for you.

The consequences of failing to comply with the new guidelines could be severe. Any service provider, intermediary, data center, corporate entity, or person who will fail to disclose the required information would be punished with imprisonment of up to one year or a fine of up to 100,000 Rupees, or both.

The IAMAI (Internet and Mobile Association of India), which comprises companies such as Facebook, Reliance, and Google, wrote to India’s IT minister to express their displeasure with these cybersecurity guidelines issued in April.

According to the IAMAI letter, the expense of complying with these guidelines will be huge, and suggested penalties for violations, which include prison time, might lead to “companies stopping business in India for fear of breaking the rule.”

India’s VPN businesses say the verdict is too broad and harsh. Proton VPN noted, “New Indian VPN restrictions are an invasion of privacy and a threat to place citizens under the microscope of monitoring.” NordVPN is considering withdrawing its servers out of India. ExpressVPN said it is unwilling to assist in the Indian government’s attempts to impede internet freedom” by removing its servers from the country.

IAMAI’s letter also follows that 11 major tech-aligned sector organizations, which stated that the new restrictions have made doing business in India difficult.

In recent years, India has increased oversight of giant digital businesses, causing industry backlash and, in some circumstances, damaging trade ties between India and other countries.

These rules have broadened the scope of mass surveillance and are going against internationally accepted norms of need, and proportionality, and data minimization, and are impairing cybersecurity in the process. In a letter to Cert-In, AccessNow stated, “They have effectively created new cybersecurity risks in the form of databases of kept information that can be attacked by cybercriminals.”

The new guidelines, according to New Delhi, are necessary because cybersecurity breaches are frequently reported, but the details required to investigate them are often not readily available from service providers.
