Radenta Technologies Is Now a DICT-Accredited Trusted Assessment Provider (D-TAP)

Radenta Technologies has been officially accredited by the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) as a Trusted Assessment Provider (D-TAP), authorizing the company to conduct government-recognized Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) and Information Security Management System (ISMS) assessments.

Radenta Technologies has received its Certificate of Accreditation as a DICT-Trusted Assessment Provider (D-TAP), issued by the Department of Information and Communications Technology's Cybersecurity Bureau.

This makes Radenta one of a select group of cybersecurity firms nationwide formally recognized by DICT to conduct vulnerability and information security assessments on behalf of government agencies and private sector clients — a distinction that matters more than ever as the Philippines tightens its national cybersecurity requirements.

What Is the DICT D-TAP Program?

The DICT Trusted Assessment Provider (D-TAP) program accredits cybersecurity firms that meet DICT's evaluation standards under Republic Act No. 12009, the Philippine Cybersecurity Act — authorizing accredited firms to conduct formal, government-recognized cybersecurity assessments.

The D-TAP program was established to strengthen the security of government digital systems before they're rolled out to the public. As more Filipinos rely on online platforms for everyday transactions — from applying for jobs to accessing government services — the systems behind those platforms need to be tested and verified by qualified, vetted providers before they go live. DICT emphasized that accreditation under this program is not automatic; it's granted only to firms that meet the program's technical and compliance requirements, following a structured evaluation process overseen by the Cybersecurity Bureau.

What Does Radenta's D-TAP Accreditation Cover?

Radenta's D-TAP accreditation covers two areas: Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) and Information Security Management System (ISMS) assessments.

This means Radenta is now formally recognized by DICT to conduct these assessments for national government agencies and private sector clients. The accreditation was issued pursuant to DICT Department Circular No. HRA-001, Series of 2026, and aligns with two major pieces of Philippine legislation: Republic Act No. 12234, or the Konektadong Pinoy Act, and Republic Act No. 12254, or the e-Governance Act — both aimed at strengthening the country's digital infrastructure and public-sector cybersecurity posture.

Why D-TAP Accreditation Matters for Radenta's Clients

D-TAP accreditation gives Radenta's government and private sector clients independent, third-party assurance that its security assessments meet national cybersecurity standards set by DICT — not just internal or self-reported claims.

Organizations working with a D-TAP-accredited provider like Radenta can be confident that vulnerability assessments and security testing are being conducted by a firm formally vetted and recognized by the national government. For government agencies specifically, working with a D-TAP-accredited assessor is becoming an increasingly important part of compliance as the Philippines rolls out stricter cybersecurity requirements for digital transformation projects, particularly under the Konektadong Pinoy Act's open access and data transmission provisions.

This accreditation adds to Radenta's existing security credentials, including its ISO/IEC 27001 certification for information security management — reinforcing a broader pattern: Radenta'scybersecurity practices are being independently validated at both the international standards level and the national regulatory level.
