CERT-In Issues AI Security Auditing Guidelines with Four-Tier Risk Framework
India's cybersecurity agency CERT-In has released a 107-page AI Security Auditing Guidelines document establishing a four-tier risk classification system—low, moderate, high, and critical—for AI systems based on factors like data sensitivity and potential impact. The guidelines mandate six-hour reporting of AI-related security breaches and maintaining logs for 180 days. While currently non-binding for AI developers, the framework requires audits by CERT-In-empanelled auditors, with stricter assessments for higher-risk systems. It also includes provisions against unauthorized deepfakes and mandates content provenance labeling for AI-generated media.
