The Security Assessment And Authorization Policy is a crucial governance document designed for organizations operating under Indian jurisdiction that need to establish and maintain a structured approach to security assessments and system authorizations. This policy becomes necessary when organizations need to demonstrate compliance with Indian cybersecurity regulations, protect sensitive data, and ensure consistent security practices across their operations. It is particularly relevant in light of increasing cyber threats and regulatory requirements in India, including compliance with the IT Act 2000, CERT-In guidelines, and the Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023. The policy includes comprehensive procedures for security assessment planning, execution, documentation, and continuous monitoring, making it essential for organizations that handle sensitive information or operate in regulated industries.
