BH-2025-A7F39C2EWhat Is Bithost Certification?
Bithost Certification Authority (Bithost CA) is India's independent cybersecurity certification body operated by Zhost Consulting Private Limited. It issues digitally signed, publicly verifiable security certificates to Indian businesses that demonstrate compliance with a structured 55-point information security assessment framework.
The certification is designed as an accessible alternative to ISO 27001 and SOC 2 for small and medium enterprises, IT companies, SaaS providers, BPOs, fintech firms, and any organisation that participates in government procurement or enterprise vendor assessments in India. The assessment covers five security domains — Network & Infrastructure Security, Data Protection & Privacy, Identity & Access Management, Security Operations & Compliance, and Application, Cloud & Vendor Security — each with 11 controls, totalling 55 controls.
Organisations scoring 38 or above (≈70%) receive automatic approval and are issued a certificate valid for 12 months. The certification framework aligns with NIST CSF, ISO/IEC 27001 principles, CIS Controls v8, CERT-In guidelines, and India's DPDP Act 2023. The application is free. Every certificate includes a unique public verification URL and an embeddable iframe badge for websites and tender submissions.
