13.3.2 Reporting Timeline - 6 Hours

6 Hour Rule

  • Starting Point: जब Incident का Notice हो (Noticing the Incident)
  • Deadline: Notice होने के 6 घंटे के भीतर Report
  • Mode: Email, Phone, या CERT-In Portal
  • Follow-up: Additional Information बाद में दे सकते हैं
Notice vs Occurrence

6 घंटे की गिनती Incident Notice होने से शुरू होती है, न कि Incident Occur होने से। यानी जब आपको पता चले कि Incident हुई है, उसके 6 घंटे के भीतर Report करें।
