When you build for government, public sector, or highly regulated BFSI/healthcare, you’ll often be asked for a "Safe-to-Host” certificate before go-live. This certificate is issued only by CERT-In empanelled auditors after a formal security assessment and remediation verification.
Who needs a CERT-In audit?
- Hosting on NIC/MeitY or other government infrastructure and portals.
- Projects for ministries, PSUs, smart-city, ABDM/NDHM and state platforms
- BFSI/Fintech, Healthcare, Telecom, and Critical Infrastructure going through RFPs that mandate CERT-In audits and Safe-to-Host sign-off.
