What Is the SBI VSCC (Vendor Site Compliance Certificate)?
The SBI VSCC is a procurement and merchant-onboarding security certificate required by State Bank of India before a vendor or merchant can integrate with SBI ePay or the SBI payment gateway. The certificate must be issued by a CERT-In empanelled auditor after a technical assessment of the merchant's website, application security, network infrastructure, and data handling controls.
Who Needs an SBI VSCC Certificate?
Any vendor, merchant, or service provider seeking to integrate with SBI's payment ecosystem must obtain a VSCC before onboarding.

Valid SSL/TLS implementation, encryption standards for data in transit and at rest, and certificate chain validation.
Web Application Security Testing (WAPT)
Security assessment of the merchant website and payment-facing application for OWASP Top 10 and business logic vulnerabilities.
Network Vulnerability Assessment
Identification of vulnerabilities across network infrastructure, servers, and services exposed to the internet.
Network Penetration Testing
Active testing to validate exploitability of identified network vulnerabilities and assess real-world attack impact.

Methodology
5 stages. Audit-ready results.
Every engagement follows this process through Lemon, our proprietary audit management platform.
Security Brigade's VSCC methodology is built around one goal: delivering a valid, SBI-accepted certificate as quickly as possible without cutting corners on assessment depth. Every engagement follows a structured workflow managed through our Lemon platform, giving you real-time visibility into progress, findings, and remediation status.
Scoping and Checklist Mapping
We review your SBI integration scope, identify all in-scope applications, infrastructure, and payment flows, and map them against the full SBI VSCC checklist. This ensures complete coverage from day one with no surprises mid-assessment.
Technical Assessment
Our CERT-In empanelled auditors perform the core technical assessment: web application security testing, network vulnerability assessment, network penetration testing, SSL and encryption validation, firewall review, and data handling controls. B-52, our AI-powered audit engine, ensures consistent coverage across all checklist requirements.
Findings Review and Remediation Support
All findings are documented with clear severity ratings, proof-of-concept evidence, and technology-specific remediation guidance. Findings are published to the Lemon client portal in real time. Our team provides hands-on remediation support to help your developers close gaps quickly.
Revalidation and Closure
Once your team marks findings as fixed in Lemon, our auditors retest each finding to confirm the fix is effective. Only confirmed fixes are marked as closed. This verified remediation evidence is critical for certificate issuance.
Certificate Issuance (Form C)
After all findings are closed and validated, we issue the signed and sealed VSCC certificate (Form C) along with the complete technical assessment report. The certificate package is formatted for direct submission to SBI as part of your merchant onboarding documentation.
"We have SAP, SCADA, 200+ web apps, and factories running legacy systems. Most security firms understand IT or OT — not both. Security Brigade tested our corporate network, our plant floor, our SAP interfaces, and our cloud migration path in one engagement with one methodology. The OT findings alone justified the engagement, but the real value was having everything in a single risk register."
The Platform
Powered by Lemon
Most firms rely on individual tester skill. We built a platform that makes quality structural — informed by 6,700+ previous assessments.
Real-Time Finding Visibility
Findings appear in your Lemon portal the moment they are verified. No waiting for a final report to learn about critical gaps.
Structured Remediation Workflow
Your developers mark findings as fixed in the portal, triggering automatic retest by our auditors. Confirmed fixes are tracked separately from open items.
Verified Fix Evidence
Every closure is validated by retest, not self-attestation. This creates auditable evidence that your fixes actually work — critical for SBI acceptance.
Compliance-Ready
Audit-ready reporting for every framework
As a CERT-In empanelled firm, our reports are accepted by Indian regulators and meet global framework requirements.
Industries
700+ clients across verticals
Every type of application architecture and business logic pattern — tested.
Quality Assurance
L1/L2/L3 Review Process: Why Our VSCC Certificate Holds Up
Every VSCC assessment undergoes a three-tier expert review before the certificate is signed.
The VSCC certificate carries your auditor's credibility. A certificate that misses vulnerabilities or overstates compliance creates risk for both the merchant and the auditor. Security Brigade's multi-tier review process ensures that every VSCC assessment is thorough, accurate, and defensible.
L1: Security Auditor Assessment
CERT-In empanelled auditors perform the full technical assessment against the SBI VSCC checklist, documenting each finding with proof-of-concept evidence and severity ratings.
L2: Senior Consultant Review
A senior security consultant reviews application mapping, validates testing methodology coverage, identifies any missed checklist items, and suggests additional test cases.
L3: Security Architect Validation
A security architect performs final validation of vulnerability impact assessments, confirms checklist completeness, and ensures the report and certificate meet the quality standard required for SBI submission.
