Overview

Hosted Safely, From Day One

Before a government or regulated workload goes live, it must prove it is safe to host. Our Safe-to-Host Certification validates the security posture of applications, APIs, and their underlying infrastructure against MeitY and industry hardening guidelines.

We combine web/app security testing, server hardening review, TLS/crypto validation, and configuration audit to produce a single, signed certificate that satisfies hosting service providers and government authorities.

Every certificate is backed by detailed evidence, remediation support, and optional re-validation to keep you secure through deployment and beyond.
