To raise awareness and provide guidelines to organizations for addressing cyber security and related risks to the insurance sector and the mitigation of such risks. The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) has mandated insurance companies to implement measures to safeguard their sensitive information and data from cyber threats. The key compliance requirements include having a robust Cyber Security Policy, conducting periodic risk assessments, having an incident response plan, protecting data from unauthorized access, managing third-party vendors, conducting regular training and awareness programs, and reporting any cyber incidents to the IRDAI within a specified timeframe. By complying with these guidelines, insurance companies can ensure that they have adequate information and cyber security measures in place to protect their critical assets and data.
IRDA compliance is required for cyber security because insurance companies deal with sensitive information and data of their customers, such as personal details, financial information, and health records. The loss or compromise of such information due to cyber-attacks can cause financial losses and reputational damage to the insurance company. Moreover, cyber attacks on insurance companies can also affect the wider financial system, making it imperative for the regulator to ensure that insurance companies have adequate information and cyber security measures in place to safeguard their critical assets and data. The IRDA compliance guidelines provide a framework for insurance companies to implement these measures and minimize the risk of cyber threats.
