Where we stand today

We’re an early-stage company. This page lists what we have, what we don’t, and what you can expect before anything connects to your network.

Last reviewed 5 November 2026.

ISO 27001

Not certified

Planned. We’ll publish the auditor and certificate number if and when we hold it.

SOC 2

No report

Planned after ISO 27001.

Independent penetration test

Not yet done

We’ll name the tester and scope when one is complete.

Product hosting

EU planned

Region and providers aren’t final. We’ll publish them before the first customer connects.

Sub-processors

List to come

Published before the first customer connects. For a health check, the DPA names them before you send anything.

Vulnerability disclosure

Published

See the policy below. Our security.txt is at /.well-known/security.txt.

Vulnerability disclosure

If you think you’ve found a security problem in this website or our work, please tell us.

  1. Write to contact@pinakashield.com with “Security report” in the subject.
  2. Tell us what you found, how to reproduce it and what it could affect.
  3. Please don’t access other people’s data, disrupt a service or publish details before we’ve had time to respond.
  4. We’ll acknowledge your report within five working days and keep you informed.

Supplier questions, answered as of today

Based on the requirements operators publish for their suppliers. Where the answer is no, we say so.

Do you run a formal ISMS?

Not a certified one yet. See the table above. We’ll share a dated plan on request.

What access do you need?

Read-only by design: a back-end export or read-only API. We’ll provide a data-flow diagram before any connection.

Can you affect OCPP traffic?

GridSEAL sits outside the charging path, so traffic doesn’t pass through it. Actions, once you enable them, run through your own back-end after a person approves.

Does GridSEAL touch charger safety functions?

No. Electrical protection and charger safety stay in the charger and outside GridSEAL.

What if the back-end itself is compromised?

Evidence from an export is only as good as what the back-end reports, so GridSEAL records it as reported by the back-end. A sensor is planned for an independent view. Actions also run through the back-end, so if it can’t be trusted, you’d act out of band, for example by cutting network access at site. That isn’t built into GridSEAL.

Who is responsible for monitoring, us or our back-end vendor?

The Open Charge Alliance’s Security Operations Guide says the charge point operator shall set up security monitoring. Your contract should say what your vendor does for you.

Can you see the vehicle-to-charger link?

No. GridSEAL works from the back-end, so ISO 15118 traffic between the vehicle and the charger, including its TLS, is outside what it can check.

Do you support OCPP 2.1?

Not yet. OCPP 1.6-J and 2.0.1 come first.

How fast will you notify us of an incident?

We’ll agree a clause that fits your 24-hour duty before any data access.

Can we get security logs automatically?

Planned. SIEM export is on the roadmap for our third release.

Do audit rights reach your subcontractors?

To be set in contract, with the sub-processor list published first.

What share of our fleet is below Security Profile 2?

That’s a question the register will answer. The health check can give a first view from one read-only export.

What happens when two sockets claim one charger ID?

It’s a target scenario for our rules, and we’ll publish test results when we can reproduce them on a named setup.

What about chargers that can’t upgrade?

We expect to report them for allow-listing, compensating controls or retirement. This isn’t built yet.

Can you produce evidence for § 32 BSIG or NIS2 Art. 23?

That’s the aim of Prove. Sealed packs are planned for the first release, and the sample on our homepage shows the idea.

How do you handle vulnerabilities in your own product?

Report it under the policy on this page. SBOM practice is in preparation, and GridSEAL itself may fall under the CRA.

Has anyone independent tested you?

Not yet. EU project work has been reviewed within those projects, and that isn’t a penetration test.

Are you crypto-agile?

The design uses hybrid signatures, ECDSA P-256 with ML-DSA-65. We’ll document the upgrade path with the first release.

How do we exit?

We’ll set return and deletion terms and an export format in the contract.
