Though, there are laid down norms on “Incident and Problem Management’ in IRDAI Information and Cyber Security Guidelines,’ it is observed that the regulatory entities are not adhering to the above mentioned timelines and also not keeping the IRDAI in loop in their communications to CertIn,” said IRDAI on Wednesday.
