TRUST-IN Bharat
TRUST-IN Bharat (Trusted Resilience & Unified Security Transformation for India) is an India-first, public, open framework to help organizations measure and improve cybersecurity, privacy, and AI governance maturity.
We aspire for this to be adopted at a national scale, but it is not a government programme today.
