In 2015-2016, DSCI made significant progress in various areas, notably in enhancing thought leadership by contributing to the development of international security standards and igniting discussions to make India a hub of cyber security product and services; capacity building of law enforcement officers in cybercrime and cyber forensics and lastly, in undertaking strategic projects with key government institutions and serving as a platform for cyber security and best practices.

I am glad to share the overwhelming response received from the industry on the ISO/IEC/ JTC 1/SC 27 Working Group Meeting jointly hosted by DSCI and the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). This meeting on information security standards was held for the first time in India and witnessed over 300 experts (including 85 from India) who deliberated on crafting international standards on Privacy, Security and Risk management in Internet of Things (IoT), Cloud Computing and other contemporary technologies. Riding high on its success, our work with the Cyber Security Task Force too has been widely supported by the industry and equally encouraged by government organisations.

A pivotal year, 2015-16 saw the strengthening of our platforms and the deepening of engagement with our corporate members and other key stakeholders. The focus for 2016-17 is to ensure that our programs and initiatives create unerring conditions for furthering the DSCI vision.

The board is strongly committed to seeing DSCI grow manifold, as its activities take centre stage in cyber security and related matters in India. On behalf of the entire Board of Directors, I thank DSCI stakeholders, for their confidence in us, which helps fuel the momentum towards continuous strengthening of cyber security, and in turn, national security.

At this juncture, I wish to share that Rama Vedashree, Former VP – ITeS at NASSCOM, has been appointed CEO, DSCI w.e.f 1 June 2016.

CHAIRMAN MESSAGE

G K PillaiChairman, DSCI

DSCI’s contribution to building a strong cyber security landscape in the country has continued to grow. This year’s annual report captures the ongoing priorities of the cyber security and privacy agenda and the resultant numerous activities across businesses and government organisations.

A key development this year for DSCI has been with regard to its leadership. We were glad to welcome Nandkumar Saravade as CEO, to carry forward the DSCI vision and lead the strategic direction and growth of the organisation.

From guiding public and private institutions to ensuring cyber security and data protection, to producing integral research and insights via collaborations; from serving as the focal point in India for all matters in the domains of Privacy, Internet Governance, Trans-border data flow, Cybercrime, Cyber Forensics and Cloud security to building the cyber community by organising engaging workshops and meetings, DSCI continues to serve diverse sectors of the Indian economy in tackling myriad cyber security issues.

CEOMESSAGE

sectoral engagement approach helped us connect with user-organisations in particular, and understand the intrinsic issues and challenges faced by them. A positive sign in this direction has been an increased level of feedback and collaboration for our initiatives throughout the year.

A highlight of our thought leadership initiative has been co-hosting of the ISO/IEC/ JTC 1/SC 27 Working Group Meeting in India on the adoption of international security standards and best practices in the industry, which saw enthusiastic participation of 300 experts from 33 countries including 85 experts from the Indian industry. The Indian delegation proposed formulation of two new standards – ‘Privacy in Smart Cities’ and ‘Privacy in Smartphone Applications,’ a development which was much appreciated by the global delegates.

Catalysing the growth of the privacy profession in the country is central to our objective in capacity building. Launched in 2014, the DSCI Certified Privacy Professional (DCPP ©) certification program was widely endorsed and appreciated by the industry. With over 400 enrolments last year for DCPP©, we forged an association with education institutes which aims at making privacy an integral part of the curriculum studied by students across the country.

The year was remarkable for our outreach activities as well. The NASSCOM-DSCI 10th Annual Information Security Summit (AISS) held in New Delhi and the Best Practices Meet (BPM) organised in Bengaluru served as definitive platforms for cyber security-related discussions on global policy perspectives, industry issues and national views. To promote excellence in the practice of security, the DSCI Excellence Awards 2015, recognized and feted organisations and individuals in the Corporate, Law Enforcement and Cyber Security Product and Services categories, who demonstrated outstanding results in proactive and innovative security and privacy initiatives to help their organisations address real risks and build resilience.

Our work ensured continuous engagement with the government including Department of Commerce (DoC), Department of Electronics and Information Technology (DeitY), National Cyber Security Coordinator and Ministry of External Affairs on key policy issues including trans-border dataflow, privacy, intermediary liabilities, Internet governance, Internet of Things, trade issues of e-Commerce sector, cloud computing and others.

As we embark upon a challenging yet exciting journey towards the ambitious goals of building a world-class cyber security industry, we strive to collaborate with existing and emerging stakeholders to comprehensively chart out the future course of programs and initiatives, to make them more impactful. Thus, your sustained support of DSCI will be paramount to achieve greater heights.

We look forward to your walking with us in this journey.

It has been an honour to lead DSCI in the past year and work collaboratively with key stakeholders such as the industry and government, and others spanning the cyber ecosystem. The aim has been to align DSCI objectives to the critical cyber security agenda of these stakeholders, for the common benefit of creating a safe and secure cyberspace. I am glad to report that the year under review was a momentous one for the entire industry in the cyber security domain as, at the NASSCOM’s 25 year anniversary celebration, the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi emphasised on making India a hub of cyber security products and services. His exhortation led to the establishment of the Cyber Security Task Force, thus setting the ball rolling towards strategizing the growth of the Indian Cyber Security products and services market. The crystallising vison of CSTF is to create USD 35 billion market for the Indian industry, one million cyber security jobs and 1000 Cyber Security start-ups in the country.

At the organisational level, one of our key priorities during the year, was to expand our engagement with member organisations. Our focussed and

Our work in cyber security has led to substantive and sustained engagement with the government to strengthen the cyber security posture in India and promote the country’s interests at various international forums, through engagements with key stakeholders. With the industry, DSCI works on cross-industry information sharing, incident management, awareness, and capacity building, through its various initiatives and programs. A growing focus area has been the creation of an ecosystem to promote the growth of Indigenous security product and services startup companies. Last year, we contributed to the Joint Working Group (JWG) on Public Private Partnership (PPP) on Cyber Security.

DSCI-NASSCOM establish Cyber Security Task Force (CSTF)

To give shape to the honourable PM’s vision of India’s leadership in the emerging field of cyber security by making India a global hub of cyber security products and Services (solutions), DSCI-NASSCOM set-up the Cyber Security Task Force (CSTF) in May 2015. The CSTF’s charter entails due focus on building key recommendations on the four pillars namely industry development, cyber security policy landscape, state-of-the-art ingenious technology solutions and skills development.

The CSTF aspires to build the USD 35 billion cyber security industry by 2025; create a trained base of One million certified and skilled cyber security professionals and build 1000 successful security product companies in India, the important initiative has truly become a pan-India initiative in the cyber security domain by engaging business security leaders from over 150 organizations.

CSTF formed Working Groups in the four areas and several round of discussions and meetings were held in all major cities including Mumbai, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Pune and Chennai. Senior leaders from the government, industry and academia interfaced to draw inputs and chart out actionable recommendations to actualize the aforesaid vision.

Additionally, NASSCOM-DSCI have commissioned a study on building ‘Industry Roadmap for Cyber Security’ for next 10 years to PwC. The study commenced in January 2016 and is expected to be ready soon.

Engagement with SSC NASSCOM on cyber security

DSCI has been working in collaboration with IT-ITeS Sector Skills Council NASSCOM (SSC NASSCOM) to further the objective of creating skilled and certified cyber security professionals. The overarching objective of the endeavour is to address the gap between the rising demand and availability of industry ready cyber personnel. During the first phase of the initiative, DSCI is developing standardized courseware for the ten most upcoming job roles in the cyber domain. During its development, DSCI engaged the industry in the validation process. In December 2015, DSCI and SSC NASSCOM launched a courseware for the role of ‘Security Analyst’. The courseware encompassed a student’s handbook and a facilitator guide.

The courseware for the ten QPs, once ready, shall be rolled out in universities and colleges across the country via SSC NASSCOM channels. It will also be a part of the SSC ecosystem- ‘Train the Trainer’ program that will lead to the creation of ‘Master Trainers in Cyber Security’ in the country, who will be well-equipped to train the potential workforce entrants further.

MoU between DSCI, SSC NASSCOM and SANS on cyber security agenda

In order to accelerate India’s leadership in the global cyber security field, a partnership was established between DSCI, SSC NASSCOM, SANS Institute and Global Information Assurance Certification (GIAC), a SANS affiliate and global leader in cyber security certifications.

The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) articulating the collaborative objectives of the three organisations was signed in December 2015 in New Delhi. The impetus to initiate such a partnership emerged from the Skills Development Working Group within Cyber Security Task Force to expedite a national roll-out of skill development in the cyber security field.

e-Security Index project by DeitY

In 2014, DeitY awarded the ‘e-Security Index-Phase II’ project to us, to develop a robust model – a framework to measure cyber security preparedness of the country covering various dimensions including government’s policy and strategy, capacity building, cyber defense, standards, critical information infrastructure protection and international co-operation as well as industry efforts.

Execution of this phase is underway. As part of this phase, a robust model is being worked upon for evaluating India’s national and sectoral cyber security preparedness. This model is primarily data-driven, where detailed statistical analysis will help identify significant areas for improving the cyber security posture.

Cyber Security


The complexity of international business demands factorization of a maturing business and technological landscape, rapid globalization, increasing value of data and its exchange over e-borders. These, in turn necessitate an examination of data policies, frameworks, practices and standards of the country.

The huge gap in the market share of Indian Information Technology and Business Process Management (IT-BPM) industry in the European Union (EU) at 25% vis-a-vis global market share at 55%, highlights the fact that the industry has been unable to realize its full potential in the EU. The data protection issues are seen as primary reasons for the lack of headway in this market. A key impediment is the EU Data Protection Directive (Directive), which through Article 25, sets out the criteria for assessing adequacy of data protection in the third country and where India is not considered as an ‘adequate’ country. EU allows legal instruments for data transfer, have been criticized heavily as complex and lengthy. Furthermore, the inconsistent implementa-tion and operationalisation increases compliance cost, thereby creating hurdles for the industry.

DSCI and NASSCOM, along with the Department of Commerce (DoC), Government of India and Department of Electronics and Information Technology (DeitY), have been continuously engaged with the EU on the issue of market access for the Indian IT-BPM Industry.

DSCI continued to engage with Department of Commerce (DoC) on the following:

India-EFTA TEPA negotiations: European Free Trade Association (EFTA) had prepared FAQs to help Indian IT-BPM companies to understand data protection regime. DSCI provided its comments on issues related to trans-border data flow as part of EU-EFTA TEPA negotiations. In the current scenario, Switzerland, a member of EFTA, is comparatively liberal than Germany and France; however, its data transfer norms are based on the EU standards

Engagement with Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP): DSCI provided inputs to DoC on cross border issues, Indian industry position on ICT infrastructure, data localization, data protection and privacy-related issues

EU-India Bilateral Trade and Investment Agreement (BTIA): The negotiation between India and EU BTIA on trans-border data flows has been reinvigorated

During the year, a meeting with the delegation of Swiss Parliamentarians was also arranged to exchange thoughts around bilateral trade, security and privacy concerns arising out of data transfers thereof impacting the overall business between the two countries. The Indian side comprising DSCI, NASSCOM and the industry representatives discussed concerns related to stringent requirements of Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) from Switzerland and EU countries and drew their attention to the justification for carving out a special agreement between the countries for easy and free-flow data transfers.

The delegation suggested setting up of an informal Working Group comprising stakeholders from both the sides to discuss the issues around data security and privacy on a common platform.

Trans-border Data Flows

Technology Foresight Study for the Financial Sector

To successfully predict future technological development in the financial sector, C-DAC and DSCI had jointly worked on the ‘Technology Foresight Study on Information and Communication Security in the Financial Sector’. The study aims to highlight future scenarios, allied cyber security threats and vulnerabilities, plan solutions and enable policy environment. With consultation from industry, academia and government, the study will now focus on in-depth analysis in the areas of Cloud and Virtualisation, Industrial Control, Big Data, IoT and financial systems. The project completion is expected by August 2016.

BFSI Roundtable

Witnessing the increasing cyber and fraud related risks in the BFSI industry, DSCI convened quarterly roundtable meetings with the Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) and Heads from Fraud and Risk Management, especially from this sector to deliberate on recent challenges faced by them. Half day Interactive discussions were held with the experts from leading Indian banks on ‘Cyber Security in Banks – Past, Present and Future’ that focused on the need for action at the industry level, and emerging roles of CISOs in the designing of new business models for banks. The roundtable also witnessed leading law enforcement officials sharing their on ground experiences and knowledge on the recent trends in call centre frauds, menace of data leakage and their prevention strategies in the financial industry.

DSCI has introduced these meetings with BFSI sector members to provide them with specific inputs on issues of relevance to them.


Cloud Computing

Cloud computing has massively impacted the global IT landscape. Fast-paced adoption of diverse models of cloud and technologies has made it a definitive game-changer, with cyber security and privacy emerging as a top concern in the domain. To contribute in secure cloud adoption, DSCI engages all stakeholders involved in the cloud evolution from end-users and service providers to academicians. Our work on cloud computing encompasses key outcomes around the critical challenges of regulation, security and privacy and overarching governance issues. We have been actively involved in the study and analysis of the policy direction of governments worldwide, including contributing in the development of international cloud standards and creation of assurance mechanisms and clarification of existing laws.

Empanelment of cloud service providers by DeitY

The Department of Electronics and Information Technology (DeitY) created a model for provisional empanelment of cloud service providers, for governmental department and agencies to better leverage cloud services for their use. A more robust framework is currently work in progress.

Working Group on Cloud Computing

DSCI continued to participate in the Working Group on Cloud Computing set up by DeitY, and contributed to the development of the Working Group recommendations. We have presented industry’s perspective on legal and policy-related issues in cloud computing, including matters related to data localisation in the meetings of the WG.

Workshop on cloud data governance

A workshop was convened by DSCI on Cloud Data Governance and aimed at deliberating issues around data governance and data classification. The workshop focused on deriving outcomes to help government departments and agencies get acquainted with guidelines, international best practices, strategies and techniques in their journey towards cloud adoption. It also synthesized government and industry inputs to work towards formulating a robust framework to help government agencies evaluate and adopt the most appropriate cloud-based solutions.

Besides panel discussions, the uniquely creative format of the workshop encompassed an assessment of policy and guidelines, white-board exercises, a consultation on draft papers , a checklist preparation, and eventually developing a ‘Cloud Decision Matrix’. The workshop, supported by Microsoft, was attended by over 60 key participants from government, defence industry, public sector and consulting organisations.

Our work has strongly advocated a multi-stakeholder model for Internet Governance (IG), which is proportional to the Internet population of nations. We envision a larger role for and by the private sector, standards bodies, civil society and academia in the multi-stakeholder approach. The approach stresses on the fact that the roles and responsibilities of all the stakeholders should be clearly defined and parts of the governance which cannot be run by the government, should be passed on to other stakeholders such as industry, academia, civil society. In this regard, we are engaged in continuous consultation with the government and representation of its views at various global forums including The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

Meeting with industry associations

A meeting was convened by DSCI with industry associations to encourage industry participation of Indian organizations on the Internet governance global platforms such as Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), Internet Governance Forum (IGF), Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and Asia-Pacific Regional Regional Internet Governance Fo-rum (AprIGF), besides global standards, protocol development forums to develop the Indian industry’s position on IG matters.

WITSA, Cyber Security and NetMundial initiative on Internet Governance

DSCI along with NASSCOM provided inputs and comments for WITSA’s Policy Principles Working Group (WG) on cyber security, privacy and data protection. We also provided our inputs on NETMundial Terms of Reference (ToR), to discuss principles for governance of the internet.

Internet Governance


GoI Policy on the Internet of Things

Our team provided inputs on the draft Internet of Things (IoT) policy issued by the Government of India. As part of the inputs, we underlined the importance of security, privacy and safety in IoT design and implementation, and the need to build institutional capacities to work on these issues through the establishment of a Center of Excellence.

Inputs were also provided on National Telecom M2M roadmap focusing on a legal regime for security risks, making M2M free from regulator reach, privacy issues alignment with global efforts of harmonizing privacy rule for cross-border data transfer and adoption of international standards.

Increasing technological advancements are creating new challenges from a data privacy perspective. The advent and adoption of big data, social media, cloud computing, Internet of Things (IoT), smart cities and other aspects have been reshaping the realms of data collection and its usage. We have successfully brought these issues into the mainstream, and elevated the level of privacy-related debates in the Indian context, and contributed to a burgeoning global discussion. In order to address the industry’s concern, DSCI has been continuously engaging with various government departments, particularly the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT), for a comprehensive privacy bill considering the recommendations made by the Justice A.P. Shah Report published in 2012.

Paper on Privacy Protection Provision under IT (Amendment) Act

A paper highlighting the privacy protection provisions under IT (Amendment) Act, 2008, was submitted to the Department of Commerce (DoC). It was based on the recommendations proposed under Justice A.P. Shah ‘Group of Experts on Privacy Report’ and emphasized on the need to enact a comprehensive framework for privacy in the form of a ‘Privacy Law’ in the country. The paper discusses recommended features for a privacy law including the implications for adequacy requirements stipulated by EU, proposed privacy principles and a regulatory framework for privacy.

Analysis of EU-US Privacy Shield and Aadhar Act submitted to DoC

An analysis on EU-US Privacy shield framework and Aadhar Act was submitted to the DoC. The document discusses the chang-es announced in the recent Privacy Shield agreement, including the critical obligations on the US companies, redress of rights/ recourse of EU citizens, US Department of Commerce and Federal Trade Commission Oversight and Enforcement, limits on US Government access, strengthening of US legal framework and potential impact on India. The analysis of the new Aadhar law elaborates important definitions, provisions and observations on various provisions of the Act.

DSCI Training and Certifications

DSCI currently runs two certification programs – DSCI Certified Privacy Lead Assessor (DCPLA©) and DSCI Certified Privacy professionals (DCPP©). A great step forward in forfeiting DSCI-academic collaboration has been the adoption of the DSCI Privacy Framework (DPF©) by the University of Madras, as part of their syllabi in MSc Cyber Forensics and Information Security. To protect privacy of personal information from unauthorized use, disclosure, modification or misuse, DSCI has conceptualized its approach towards privacy in the DPF© which is based on the global privacy best practices and frameworks. The teaching of this coursework to students aims to enable students to understand, approach and implement enhanced data privacy protection.

Development of standards at ISO

International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electro-technical Commission (IEC) form the specialised system for worldwide standardisation. ISO/IEC/JTC 1/ SC27, a joint technical committee of the international standards bodies – ISO and IEC on Information Technology (IT) security techniques, conducts regular meetings across the world with currently 51 countries, as ‘Participating Members, that play an active role in the work of technical committees or Working Groups (WG), along with a few countries as ‘Observer’ members. India is one of the participating members.

As part of these, participating countries also have the right to vote in all standards-related official ballots. The representatives of the country work on the preparation and development of the international standards and provide feedback to their national organizations. Through the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), we have been participating and encouraging industry participation in the WGs since 2012. Subsequent to the meeting in Hong Kong in 2014, DSCI along with the industry representation, participated in the meeting held in Malaysia in May 2015 and hosted the next WG meeting in India under the aegis of BIS.

Building the privacy profession: DSCI Certified Privacy Professional (DCPP©)

The focus on developing a strong workforce for privacy in the country, has gained momentum with the DSCI Certified Privacy Professional (DCPP©) Certification program by garnering a great response from the student community and industry, alike. The Privacy Body of Knowledge (PBoK) has been appreciated for its succinct coverage of privacy concepts, updates on the prevalent privacy landscape in India and major economies and technology aspects that impact privacy. Lawyers, compliance officers, information security auditors and graduates have registered for the program to enhance their understanding and knowledge on privacy - as security or privacy professionals. This past year has also seen increased engagement between industry-academia in promoting the DCPP© certification.


These standards, some enforceable by clients and others de-facto standards for operations are sooner or later adopted by organizations across the world.

The delegation from India participated actively in the WG meetings and proceedings. In particular, the Indian delegation proposed two new standards on Privacy – ‘Privacy in Smartphone Applications for Developers’ and ‘Privacy in Smart Cities’. These got readily accepted and study periods have been formed to initiate work on both. A few experts from the Indian delegation opted for designated positions such as co-editor of certain study drafts, rapporteur and co-rapporteur for cyber resilience and cyber insurance standards, among others. Overall, the Indian delegation successfully created a positive impact in all the WGs and going forward, it is expected to contribute significantly in ISO SC27 standards development. Consequently, the Bureau of Indian Standards has again proposed to host a meeting in India in 2018.

I am extremely delightful to see an event being organized on international standards in the area of information security. Standards have been bringing much business impact in various industry including telecom and ICT, but as the threats are expanding each day, standards or making of standards in the cyber security is a much daunting and complex task, hence and harmonized and collaborative efforts from various sectors and bodies are required to address the emerging technologies in this area. I am glad an assertive step in this area has already been started.
