The initial guidelines covering information and cybersecurity practices for insurers were issued in 2017. These guidelines aimed to ensure that insurers are adequately prepared to manage any cyber threat to their systems, processes, and data. The guidelines were then extended to all insurance intermediaries in 2022, including brokers, corporate agents, web aggregators, third-party administrators (TPAs), insurance marketing firms (IMFs), insurance repositories, insurance self network platform (ISNP), corporate surveyors, motor insurance service providers (MISPs), common service centres (CSCs), and the Insurance Information Bureau of India (IIB).
