The Hindu Business Line : CySi offers to undertake audit of cyber cafes

CHENNAI: Cyber Society of India (CySi), a Chennai-based voluntary organisation, today said it would undertake audit and certification of cyber cafes in Tamil Nadu to ensure that the Internet cafes follow a benchmark level of Cyber Law compliance.

The CySi would also offer 'CyLawCom Certification' services based on the audits conducted by Cyber Law College, a constituent member of the society, for web publishers, said Mr Na.Vijayashankar, secretary, CySi.

''Under the programme, trained CyLawCom auditors will undertake audit of cyber cafe facilities and assist them in setting up suitable systems in place to ensure a benchmark level of Cyber Law compliance,'' he told reporters here.

Upon confirmation, a certificate 'Certified E-bridge Centre' would be given to the Internet cafes, recognising their role in acting as an e-bridge for people to access the benefits of cyber society, he said.

Cyber cafes must realise that ''they may have to face liabilities arising out of cyber crimes happening through their network,'' Mr Vijayashankar added.

However, a majority of cyber cafes are not aware of the existing cyber laws and even those who are aware do not know how to demonstrate the observance of due diligence, Mr R Ramamurthy, vice-chairman of CySi said. - PTI
