They will have to prepare their IT infrastructure according to the standards and guidelines of the Ministry. For the last eight days, organizations like the National Investigation Agency (NIA), Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT), Delhi Police, and Security Research and Development Organization (DRDO) working under the Ministry of IT are investigating the cyber attack on AIIMS.

Approval has to be taken Only in special circumstances like a disaster, or security-law, the government will be able to use the personal data of a person without his approval.
