The SIRI Difference

What a standard firm does.
What SIRI does.

Every cyber law firm claims to handle digital matters. Only SIRI has lawyers and certified security engineers working the same case file.

Engages forensic vendors separately
Chain-of-custody breaks. Evidence may not hold up in court
Advises post-breach
Typically engaged after regulatory window (6 hours) has already closed
Refers AI questions out
Most firms have no AI governance capability at all

Frequently Asked Questions

Common cyber law questions,
answered clearly.

Do I have to report a data breach to CERT-In?
Yes — if you are an ICT service provider, data centre, body corporate, or government entity. The mandatory report must be filed within 6 hours of discovery. Failure to report is itself a criminal offence under the IT Act. SIRI can file on your behalf and manage the investigation.
What is the penalty for violating DPDPA 2023?
The DPDPA 2023 allows penalties up to ₹250 crore per violation for significant data breaches and up to ₹200 crore for failing to implement reasonable security safeguards. These can compound across violations. A SIRI compliance programme significantly reduces this exposure.
Can digital evidence be used in Indian courts?
Yes — with proper certification. Section 65B of the Indian Evidence Act (now Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam 2023) requires a certificate accompanying digital evidence. SIRI's forensic analysts produce court-compliant certificates and can testify as expert witnesses.
What is the IT Act Section 79 safe harbour?
Section 79 protects online platforms and intermediaries from liability for third-party content — but only if you comply with IT Rules 2021 (grievance officer, content takedown, periodic reporting). SIRI structures and maintains your safe harbour compliance.
My company received a phishing attack. What do I do first?
Isolate affected systems, preserve logs, and call us immediately. Do not communicate about the breach over potentially compromised systems. If personal data was accessed, your CERT-In notification clock starts immediately. We engage within 30 minutes for retainer clients.
