Network Function Virtualization (NFV)
(NCCS Accredited Security Testing & Certification as per ITSAR Standards)
Overview
Network Function Virtualization (NFV) replaces traditional hardware appliances with software-based network functions running on virtual infrastructure. NFV is central to 5G, cloud-native telecom networks, and government digital infrastructure initiatives.
Because NFV platforms host critical core and edge network functions, they must meet ITSAR 404042308 security requirements to ensure confidentiality, integrity, and resilience.
DeltaPhi Labs Private Limited, an NCCS-accredited Telecom Security Test Lab (TSTL), provides end-to-end ITSAR security testing services for NFV platforms, VNFs, and MANO components
Devices Covered (All NFV Categories)
Virtual Network Functions (VNFs): vRouter, vBNG, vEPC, vFirewall, vIMS
NFVI Infrastructure (Hypervisor, Compute, Network, Storage)
MANO Components (NFVO, VNFM, VIM)
Containerized Network Functions (CNFs)
SDN/NFV Integrated Architectures
Compliance Standards

FAQs – ITSAR NFV Certifications
Q1. Is ITSAR security testing mandatory for NFV?
Yes. NFV platforms and VNFs fall under ITSAR security assurance. Testing is required prior to NCCS/DoT certification and operator deployment.
Q2. What components are tested?
We test NFVI, VNFs, MANO (NFVO, VNFM, VIM), and CNFs — covering hypervisor, orchestration, network interfaces, control plane and data plane security.
Q3. How does this testing relate to certification?
We provide the full technical testing, evidence, and reporting as per ITSAR requirements.
NCCS/DoT issues the final certification based on our test results.
Q4. What deliverables do you provide?
-
ITSAR Gap Assessment Report
-
Detailed TSTP (Test Scenario Test Plans)
-
Logs, PCAPs, Screenshots, Evidence Package
-
Final Test Report for NCCS submission
Q5. How long does the NFV ITSAR certification process take?
Typically 6–10 weeks, depending on platform complexity and the number of VNFs in scope.
