Communication Security Certification Scheme (ComSec) Certificate

The Communication Security Certification Scheme (ComSec) is a mandatory framework introduced by the Telecommunication Engineering Centre (TEC) under the Department of Telecommunications (DoT), India. It ensures that telecom equipment deployed in Indian networks is secure from cyber threats, espionage, and vulnerabilities. ComSec certification is crucial for equipment handling sensitive user data or operating in the core telecom network. The certification process involves rigorous evaluation of both hardware and software components to maintain the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of communications infrastructure.

Service Overview

With the growing dependence on digital communication and the rollout of technologies like 5G, network security has become top national priority. The ComSec scheme addresses this by mandating a security certificate for telecom products that pose a potential risk to India’s communications infrastructure. This includes testing against vulnerabilities, backdoors, and unauthorized access. ComSec certification supports India’s goals of data protection, secure communication networks and trusted equipment deployment.
