We intend using this section of the news
letter to answer the Cyber Law related queries raised by our readers.
This being an inaugural issue, we don’t have any questions to be
answered.
We hope that this would be one of the most
vibrant sections of this news letter which may generate illuminating
debates which would be of use to one and all.
We appreciate if queries are raised by
persons indicating their Name, Occupation and Contact details. We
however don’t want to restrain the readers from raising questions
without revealing their identity. Such readers may therefore send the
questions as “Anonymous” in which case even their e-mail ID would not be
provided on the news letter.
All questions may however be sent by
e-mail to
naavi@in.com by e-mail with the subject line containing “Cyber Laws
for CxOs”.

Since there are no questions from the
readers in this inaugural issue, we will raise a question for all the
readers and invite answers.
“Cyber Laws have been in force in
India since October 17, 2000 and some of the provisions of the law
required compliance by Companies. However many companies ignored ITA
2000 compliance as a part of their management focus. Some of them even
declared under Corporate Governance Certification (under clause 49 of
SEBI regulations) that they were complying with all regulatory
requirements.
What according to you were the three
principle reasons for the Companies to ignore ITA 2000 and what are
your suggestions to correct the prevalence of a non compliance
environment?
