Safe to Host certification is grounded in a rigorous security audit conducted by India’s Ministry of Electronics and IT. It includes detailed vulnerability assessment and penetration testing of application, infrastructure, and hosting environments. These evaluations are designed to identify and address critical security risks such as injection flaws, misconfigurations, and unauthorized access, ensuring certified solutions are production-ready and battle-hardened for use in government and public-sector environments.

ROC, the leading American maker of multimodal Vision AI solutions, today announced that ROC Watch has officially received the “Safe to Host” certification from the Standardization Testing and Quality Certification (STQC) Directorate, a division of India’s Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY).
This certification confirms that the ROC Watch tactical video analytics platform is secure and ready for national deployment, meeting India’s highest standards for cybersecurity and web application protection. It affirms ROC’s ability to deliver government-grade, secure-by-design software for digital identity, public safety, and e-governance projects throughout the Indian subcontinent.
