Sparsh CCTV becomes the first video surveillance company in the world to get cyber-security certification for full range from STQC

May 27th, India – Sparsh CCTV, a leading player in the field of video surveillance and security solutions, proudly announces that it has become the first company across the globe to get a cyber-security certification IoTSCS certification for IoT product (CCTV Camera) from Standardisation Testing and Quality Certification (STQC). The entire product range by Sparsh CCTV is now cyber secured.

In March 2024, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) issued a Public Procurement Preference to advance the “Make in India” initiative, in line with the Order from 2017. This notification specifically addressed the procurement of CCTV and video surveillance systems for security purposes, establishing clear “Essential Requirements (ER)” for these devices. The ERs are designed to ensure the security and integrity of the CCTV systems used in public and private sectors.                             

Here are the key components of these requirements:

Detailed Testing Parameters: These parameters are defined to guarantee that both the hardware and software of CCTV systems are secure. This includes measures to protect against the leakage of sensitive data, ensuring that the surveillance systems are robust against potential security threats.

Security Testing Report: It is mandatory for the security testing of CCTV and Video Surveillance Systems (VSS) to be conducted by the Standardization Testing and Quality Certification (STQC) Directorate. This ensures that the systems meet stringent security standards set by the government.

Secure Process Conformance: This requirement involves validating that the components used in the CCTV systems are sourced through a trusted value chain. This means that all parts and processes involved in the manufacture of the devices must meet specific security and quality criteria, ensuring the integrity of the final product.

In-house R&D Registration: For companies conducting research and development in-house, their R&D units must be registered with the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR) in India. This registration ensures that the R&D activities are recognized and meet the standards set by the DSIR.

Mandatory Compliance: The Essential Requirements (ERs) specified in the notification are mandatory for all procurements of CCTV and Video Surveillance Systems. This means that any entity looking to purchase such systems must ensure that the products meet these defined security and quality standards.

Overall, these measures are aimed at enhancing the security and reliability of CCTV systems procured under the “Make in India” initiative, fostering domestic manufacturing, and ensuring that surveillance systems deployed across the country are secure and free from vulnerabilities.

Commenting on the certification development, Mr. Sanjeev Sehgal, Founder & MD – Sparsh CCTV saidWe are immensely proud to be the first company to get this certification across all our products. India has taken lead in setting up surveillance industry compliance in the world and Sparsh CCTV has taken lead in being 100% aligned with this compliance.
