Frequently Asked Questions

A CERT-In empanelled security audit is an assessment conducted by cybersecurity firms empanelled by the Indian government’s Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In). It ensures your organization’s digital infrastructure complies with Indian national cybersecurity standards. 

This audit is mandatory for government departments, critical infrastructure providers, and businesses offering digital services to government entities. It helps you detect security vulnerabilities, prevent data breaches, and demonstrate legal compliance.

The duration of a CERT-In audit typically depends on the size and complexity of your IT environment. For small to mid-sized organizations, the process may take 5 to 10 working days from initial scoping to report delivery. 

Peneto Labs offers a streamlined approach and fast-track options that help you meet urgent deadlines without compromising on the quality of testing.

After completing the audit, you will receive a comprehensive report that includes a list of identified vulnerabilities, risk ratings, technical details, and actionable recommendations for remediation. 

Once all high- and medium-risk issues are resolved and retested, we issue a “Safe to Host” certificate, confirming your infrastructure is secure and compliant with CERT-In standards.

X.509 certificates, such as the Safe to Host certificate, guarantee secure client-server communication. Hosting firms that handle sensitive data on behalf of their clients should pay special attention to it.

A “Safe to Host” certificate is a document issued after a successful CERT-In audit. It confirms that your system or application has undergone authorized security testing and meets the minimum cybersecurity standards defined by the Indian government. This certificate is often mandatory for launching government-related digital services or hosting them on official domains like .gov.in.

The cost of a CERT-In audit varies based on several factors, such as the number of applications, servers, or IPs in scope and the complexity of the environment. Peneto Labs offers competitive and transparent pricing tailored to your specific requirements. For a detailed quote, we recommend you to kindly get in touch with our sales team for a quick consultation or fill out the form so that we can contact you.

CERT-In audits are mandatory for government agencies and critical infrastructure. It’s highly recommended for private companies—especially if your business handles sensitive data or offers digital services. Companies working in finance, technology, or healthcare, or those partnering with government departments, may be required to meet CERT-In standards. A CERT-In audit can also be a valuable trust factor for clients and investors, proving your commitment to strong cybersecurity practices.

No, our testing process is designed to be non-intrusive and minimally disruptive. Peneto Labs coordinates with your internal IT or DevOps teams to perform the audit during off-peak hours or in staging environments. All testing is done securely without affecting system performance, user experience, or data integrity.

Peneto Labs is a CERT-In empanelled cybersecurity company with experience in delivering high-quality audits across government, enterprise, and startup sectors. Our team follows a proven, standards-driven approach, offers rapid turnaround, full support during remediation, and delivers compliance-ready documentation—including Safe to Host certification and final reports.

Peneto Labs can conduct CERT-In approved audits for a wide range of digital assets, including web applications, mobile apps, APIs, cloud platforms, internal and external networks, servers, and IoT systems. Whether you're running on AWS, Azure, Linux, or Windows environments, our audit process is customized to match your tech stack and regulatory needs while maintaining CERT-In compliance.

A CERT-In audit should be conducted annually or whenever there is a major infrastructure or application update. Regular audits help you stay ahead of evolving cyber threats, close security gaps, and maintain compliance with government or industry mandates. If your systems are frequently updated or handle sensitive data, periodic audits are crucial to ensure continuous protection and certification.
