Frequently asked questions
What are the IRDAI cyber security guidelines?
IRDAI's Information and Cyber Security Guidelines are the regulator's binding cyber mandate for insurers. They specify a control set, policy governance duties, incident reporting timelines and periodic assurance through audits and testing.
How is policy acknowledgement evidenced to IRDAI?
Each policy version is assigned to the people it applies to and acknowledgement is recorded per person. Rates per policy and per team are dashboard-visible and exportable for examination.
Does Compli-Once keep the framework current?
Yes. Framework content is maintained as the regulator updates it, and the crosswalk shows what your existing programme already satisfies against the new version.
Can agents and partners be assessed?
Yes. Distribution partners handling data can sit in the vendor register and be assessed through the portal on the same evidence-based model.
