Finally the User Dept. has to send a e-mail giving clearance for Web Site Audit (after receipt of the Web Registration and Security Audit Request Forms), it will be sent to the the Security Division for conducting Audit.  

We (NIC, COCHIN) will be coordinating the activities with the Security Division. As the Reports are made available to us by the Security Group, it will be modified and sent for Re-Audit. 

Kindly note that as there are many Web Sites from all over the country to be Audited it might take sometime to Audit the Web Site.

On successful completion of the Security Audit of the Web Site, the Security Audit Group will give the Clearance Letter to the Web Services Division at NIC (HQ) who will be Hosting the Web Site.

If NIC is designing & developing the Web Site then, in such a case the Security Audit of the Web Site will be conducted via us. The number of audits will depend on the complexity of the designed applications or other content in the Web Site.

In case, the User Department is itself developing the Web Site or getting it developed by third party, then, the User shall get the Web Site audited on their own by availing the services of IT security auditors empanelled by the CERT.IN (List available at http://www.cert-in.org.in/) and provide the audit-cleared certificate from an auditor, to the NIC Web Coordinator:-
