Cybersecurity conformity assessment is a structured process of evaluating and accrediting organizations that support Critical Sector Entities (CSEs) – including Power, Banking & Financial Services, Telecommunications, Transportation, Healthcare, Government Services, and Strategic Industries – in protecting their Critical Information Infrastructure (CII).

National Critical Information Infrastructure Protection Centre (NCIIPC), a unit of the National Technical Research Organisation (NTRO), is a government organisation created under Section 70A of the Information Technology Act, 2000 (amended 2008), through gazette notification dated 16 Jan 2014. NCIIPC has been designated as the national nodal agency for the protection of CII.

NABET (National Accreditation Board for Education and Training), a constituent board of the Quality Council of India (QCI), implements accreditation schemes under the Conformity Assessment Framework (CAF), enabling consultancy and training organisations to demonstrate the competence needed to strengthen national cyber resilience.
