NASSCOM, India's premier IT industry umbrella group, is planning to unveil security audit with certification for all its 860 member companies soon.

"Although many big IT firms follow stringent security audit on their own, the new framework that is being developed will serve as a global benchmark for the whole industry."

The official said although the audit wouldn't be mandatory, a slew of companies were expected to follow it as firms were fast realising the importance of adhering to global security standards that cover all areas of operations.
