CERT-In Empanelled Security Auditor
Government-recognized assessments and Safe-to-Host certification
Purpose-built for regulated, mission-critical environments across government, BFSI, healthcare, telecom, and large enterprise.
Why this matters
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is CERT-In audit different from a regular VAPT?
Yes. It’s executed by empanelled auditors and ends with a Safe-to-Host certificate usable for NIC/MeitY and RFP submissions.
Do you help fix issues?
We provide fix guidance/snippets and re-test until blockers are closed; then we issue certification.
Can you align with ISO/DPDPA needs?
Yes - findings map to ISO 27001/27701 and DPDPA/GDPR controls for audit trails.
How often should we re-audit?
At major releases or annually - many buyers now expect continuous readiness, not one-time checks.
