QRC Joins CERT-In Samvaad 2026 to Shape Audit’s Future

QRC Assurance and Solutions was honored to take part in CERT-In Samvaad 2026, a national platform driving the evolution of cybersecurity assurance across India. Convened by the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In), Samvaad 2026 brought together leading voices from across the cybersecurity ecosystem to examine where audit and assurance practices are heading. The discussions reflected a clear and decisive shift — away from traditional, point-in-time approaches and toward continuous, intelligence-driven, and future-ready audit practices.

A new direction for cybersecurity assurance

The conversations at Samvaad 2026 underscored a growing consensus: as the threat landscape grows more dynamic, assurance can no longer be a periodic checkpoint. Instead, it must become an ongoing, adaptive discipline — one that draws on real-time intelligence, anticipates emerging risks, and delivers measurable outcomes rather than static compliance snapshots.

QRC extends its sincere appreciation to CERT-In and to the distinguished leaders who shaped these impactful discussions, including Dr. Sanjay Bahl, Shri SS Sarma, Shri Ashutosh Bahuguna, Shri Abhishek Solanki, and Shri Rajesh Pokhriyal. Their insights helped frame a forward-looking vision for the future of cybersecurity auditing in the country.

Aligned with QRC’s approach to assurance

For QRC, the direction set out at Samvaad 2026 resonates strongly with the firm’s own philosophy. QRC has consistently focused on integrated audits, continuous compliance, and outcome-driven assurance — an approach designed to give organizations confidence not just at a single moment in time, but throughout their ongoing operations.

As a CERT-In empanelled organization and a globally recognized certification and assurance partner, QRC views forums such as Samvaad 2026 as vital to advancing a shared, national agenda for stronger and more resilient cybersecurity practices.

A collective journey forward

QRC’s participation reflects the dedication of its leadership and the wider QRC team in driving this journey forward. The firm remains committed to working alongside CERT-In and the broader community to build an assurance ecosystem that is continuous, intelligent, and ready for what lies ahead — supporting the vision of a secure and trusted Digital Bharat.
