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 the 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.

DENVER and NEW DELHI, India, Aug. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — 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 ROC Watch 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.

“Security and trust are built into everything we ship,” said Nick Bartlow, Chief Engineer at ROC. “Our mission is to create a smarter, safer world. STQC certification is proof of our commitment to rigorous testing and compliance with the highest international standards. ROC products are ready to serve the world’s largest democracies, including India.”

Core to the “Safe to Host” certification is a comprehensive security audit aligned with global standards, including OWASP Top 10 and OWASP Web Security Testing Guide (WSTG). These audits focus on high-risk vulnerabilities such as injection attacks, broken authentication, and exposure of sensitive data, ensuring that ROC products adhere to the latest and greatest cybersecurity best practices.

With this designation, ROC Watch has been independently validated to meet India’s stringent government-mandated security standards. This serves as a critical prerequisite for national

programs and digital public infrastructure, positioning ROC as a trusted partner for agencies seeking a certified, American-made alternative to legacy providers.
