6 Core Pillars of Government & Public Cyber Defense

Our certified cybersecurity lead auditors defend public sector undertakings, citizen identity repositories, and critical infrastructure against advanced persistent threats (APT).

Critical Infrastructure (CII) Defense

Protecting power grids, smart water distribution, municipal transit networks, and defense telecommunications under NCIIPC Protected System rules.

  • NCIIPC protected system mandate alignment
  • SCADA & public utility network isolation
  • Threat vector simulation on municipal networks

GIGW 3.0 & Safe-to-Host VAPT

Conducting mandatory penetration testing and accessibility compliance auditing for public portals under Guidelines for Indian Government Websites (GIGW 3.0).

  • GIGW 3.0 accessibility & cyber audit
  • Official CERT-In Safe-to-Host Certificate
  • National Informatics Centre (NIC) clearance

Sovereign Cloud & DPDP Privacy

Verifying that all citizen biometric and sensitive demographic data resides strictly within sovereign MeitY-approved Indian cloud availability zones.

  • MeitY empanelled cloud data sovereignty
  • Citizen data encryption at rest (AES-256)
  • DPDP Act 2023 public fiduciary compliance

CERT-In Directives & NTP Archival

Auditing mandatory 6-hour cyber incident notification runbooks, domestic NTP server clock synchronization, and tamper-evident 180-day log repositories.

  • 6-hour statutory CERT-In incident drills
  • Indian Standard Time (IST) NTP synchronization
  • 180-day domestic tamper-proof log vault

Nation-State APT & Zero-Day Defense

Continuous threat intelligence and Security Operations Center (SOC) monitoring defending government networks from state-sponsored espionage and defacement.

  • Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) threat hunting
  • Government web portal defacement protection
  • Dark web surveillance for leaked agency credentials

SAR Documentation & NIC Clearance

Delivering digitally-signed System Audit Reports (SAR), auditor attestations, and filing binders ready for hosting sign-off on National Informatics Centre servers.

  • Digitally-signed statutory SAR documentation
  • Free 30-day agency retesting & closure report
  • Official NIC hosting go-live clearance pack

5-Stage Public Sector Cyber Defense Lifecycle

Our certified auditors adhere strictly to MeitY and CERT-In testing standards to ensure zero compliance friction for public entities.

1
STAGE 1: STATUTORY SCOPING & CRITICAL ASSET INVENTORY

Public Sector Topology & Citizen Data Mapping

Cataloging all ministry portals, municipal databases, state data center (SDC) servers, and critical infrastructure networks subject to audit.

2
STAGE 2: GIGW 3.0 & NCIIPC GOVERNANCE AUDITING

Policy Review & Sovereign Data Residency

Verifying security policies, domestic NTP synchronization, cloud data residency within Indian borders, and access control governance.

3
STAGE 3: TECHNICAL SAFE-TO-HOST VAPT & NETWORK AUDIT

Ethical Hacking & GIGW Compliance Testing

Conducting rigorous penetration testing against web portals, mobile e-governance apps, and network perimeters following CERT-In guidelines.

4
STAGE 4: REMEDIATION & 30-DAY RETESTING CLOSURE

Patch Verification & Technical Closure

Assisting government IT and nodal officers in patching identified vulnerabilities and executing re-assessment to certify 100% closure.

5
STAGE 5: SYSTEM AUDIT REPORT & NIC GO-LIVE CLEARANCE

Digitally-Signed SAR & Safe-to-Host Certificate

Issuing the official CERT-In Safe-to-Host Certificate and digitally-signed System Audit Report ready for submission to NIC and MeitY.

Frequently Asked Questions

Key details on CERT-In Safe-to-Host certification, GIGW 3.0 mandates, and NIC hosting clearance.

National Informatics Centre (NIC), State Data Centres (SDCs), and MeitY require an official Safe-to-Host certificate issued by a CERT-In empanelled auditing agency before allocating domain names (.gov.in / .nic.in) or allowing websites to go live on government cloud servers.
GIGW 3.0 requires full compliance with W3C WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility standards, HTTPS/TLS 1.3 encryption, zero OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, mobile responsiveness, and adherence to the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act 2023 for citizen forms.
We deploy sovereign MeitY-empanelled cloud infrastructure, air-gapped critical networks, multi-factor hardware authentication for nodal officers, and 24/7 SOC threat monitoring with automated incident response protocols.
