MUMBAI, India, June 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — 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.

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 said “We 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.

Summit of Whose Future? Girls Have the Answers: Leaders Must Listen

Young Women Activists Launch “What Girls Want,” Demand World Leaders Put Girls at the Center of Summit of the Future 

NEW YORK, Sept. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Today in New York, more than 50 young women from around the world – including Nobel Prize Laureate Malala Yousafzai – gathered to take government to task for failing to prioritize girls and young women in the upcoming Summit of the Future. The group is backed by acoalition of girl-centered non-profit organizations, institutions, and funds who synthesized the demands of girls at www.whatgirlswant.com.

At a demonstration near the UN, alongside life-size cutouts of world leaders dressed ironically as “girl experts”, the activists delivered a strong message: world leaders aren’t the experts on what girls want for their futures – girls are. 

Eylül Erçin, 19, from Türkiye, shared: “The time has passed for girls and young women to be treated as mere afterthoughts. Leaders must include us in the foundational design of these processes, ensuring that our priorities are integrated into shaping the future we will inherit. Anything less is unacceptable.”

Today’s event is about more than calling out a process failure. Girls i from around the world delivered a forward-looking call to action this week. They expect governments, institutions, and community leaders to step up and help shape a more equitable future.

Alongside fellow activists, Malala said: “Even at 27, I know better than to assume I understand best what girls want. Everywhere I go, girls are eager to share their vision for their futures. As adults, it is our job to listen, fund their work and follow their lead. It is not too late for world leaders to do right by girls. They can start by prioritizing their demands in tomorrow’s final Summit deliberations and by investing resources to match their words.”

The evidence is clear: investing in girls and delivering on their rights transforms economies, societies, and the environment, advancing the SDGs and building a future that girls deserve.

About What Girls Want 

This effort was produced by a collaboration of girl-centered organizations, institutions, funders, and allies. The campaign is anchored around work to collate insights, data, and stories from 20+ public consultations with girls and young women over the past decade, driven by a shared desire to center girls’ demands in spaces where they are being ignored.
