ITSAR Security Testing & Certification

I am ready to move straight into the Execution and Testing phase of ITSAR for a new telecom product and need a specialist who can see the process through to formal certification.

Here is what the engagement will look like:

• Hands-on execution of ITSAR security tests focused on the product’s network security stack and its software layer. You will be working directly on live units in a Linux-driven environment, so solid command of networking, penetration techniques, vulnerability assessment tools and telecom-grade hardening practices is essential.

• Close coordination with NCCS and the relevant Telecom Security Test Labs (TSTLs). I will involve you in all technical calls and data exchanges; you will help interpret lab feedback, tweak test cases, and make sure every issue is closed in a way that satisfies regulatory reviewers.

• Compilation of a comprehensive Compliance Audit Report. This document must map each executed test to the ITSAR requirement it satisfies, include evidence (logs, screenshots, packet captures), and be delivered in a format acceptable to the certification authority.

Once the audit report passes internal review, you will support me during the formal submission and any follow-up queries until the final certificate is issued.

If you have a proven track record with ITSAR, strong Linux/network security skills, and are comfortable navigating telecom regulations, I would like to hear how quickly you can begin and the toolset you prefer to use.
