Security for India's
public infrastructure.
Ministries, regulators, PSUs, defence, and digital-public-infrastructure platforms — the systems citizens depend on every day. CERT-In empanelled continuously since 2008, among the country's longest-serving.
The Challenge
Why government and PSUs need specialised security testing
Public-sector threat models are different — nation-state-grade adversaries, regulator-prescribed audit formats, multi-agency integration boundaries, and citizen-data scale. Generic enterprise pen tests don't satisfy CERT-In, NCIIPC, or MeitY scrutiny.
CERT-In Mandate + Tight Reporting Windows
Critical-infrastructure entities, regulators, and central / state PSUs must follow CERT-In direction on annual VAPT, IS audit, and incident reporting (six-hour clock). Reports need to be in CERT-In empanelled format — not generic vendor templates. Empanelment is the qualifying baseline.
Critical-Infrastructure Threat Profile
Power grid, banking, defence, telecom, transport, healthcare-system operators are the textbook nation-state target list. NCIIPC categorises critical-information-infrastructure (CII) entities specifically because the threat is sustained and well-resourced. Pen-test programmes need to assume APT-grade adversaries.
Multi-Agency Integration & Data Sharing
GSTN, UIDAI Aadhaar ecosystem, CKYC, DigiLocker, DigiYatra, eOffice, and dozens of state-level digital-public-infrastructure platforms cross trust boundaries by design. Integration testing across agencies is a distinct discipline — far beyond standard VAPT.
Citizen-Data Scale + DPDP
A ministry portal or PSU may hold hundreds of millions of citizen records — Aadhaar-linked, biometric, financial, health. Under the DPDP Act, government data fiduciaries face the same protection obligations as private entities. Breaches are reportable and reputationally severe.
Services for Government
Security tests calibrated to public-sector reality
Each engagement is scoped to fit your audit calendar, your reporting obligations, and your sector-specific threat profile. CERT-In empanelment is the qualifying baseline; we have held it since 2008.
CERT-In Annual Audit
CERT-In empanelled security audit in the prescribed format — application + infrastructure + process. Findings mapped to CERT-In categories and remediation tracked through to closure.
Learn More →Network Penetration Testing
External + internal + AD assessments across agency networks, data centres, and inter-agency integration points. PCI DSS Req 11.4 + CERT-In annual VAPT aligned.
Learn More →Web Application Testing
Citizen portals, e-governance platforms, internal eOffice / file-management systems — beyond OWASP Top 10 into business-logic abuse and authorisation-boundary testing.
Learn More →Red Team Assessment
National-CIRT-aligned threat-led testing. Phishing, supply-chain pretext, lateral movement to crown-jewel data — all under controlled authorisation, fully logged, MITRE ATT&CK-mapped.
Learn More →Cloud Security Assessment
GovCloud, MeghRaj, AWS / Azure / GCP government regions — IAM privilege paths, segmentation, data-residency compliance, admin-console exposure.
Learn More →Incident Response Readiness
Tabletop exercises, IR playbook validation, breach-reporting workflows aligned to CERT-In six-hour clock. Optional purple-team handover after a red engagement.

Frameworks that matter to public-sector mandates
We map findings to the specific clauses your CERT-In auditor, ministerial review, NCIIPC liaison, or parliamentary committee will check. Empanelment-format reports, not generic vendor templates.
Who We Work With
Trusted across India's public-sector estate
Government and critical-infrastructure clients are referenced anonymously by sector for security reasons — a sector convention even where naming permission would otherwise apply. Engagement specifics stay confidential. References available under NDA on request.
