As a first step towards setting up of procedures and strategies, Deloitte, along with Nasscom, and its technology security arm DSCI has released India’s first cyber crime investigation manual which aims to bring a uniform and scientific approach in investigating these crimes and bringing them to court of law.

The manual covers a comprehensive list of cyber crime topics including procedures for pre-investigation, evidence collection, and handling evidence. It will be a valuable resource in any field investigation, because it provides clear guidance to investigating officers on the procedures to be followed at crime scenes where digital media is present.

Som Mittal, President, Nasscom, said, “India’s status as a destination of choice for global outsourcing owes to the wellestablished security practices with organisations. Nasscom in association with DSCI has set up Cyber Labs in Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore and Thane to train law enforcement agencies for speedier trial of cyber crimes.”
