The smartphone runs on the basis of the ROSA Mobile mobile operating system.
An important security factor for R-FON is the presence of drivers written by ROSA engineers that ensure the operation of the hardware components of the smartphone. This approach ensures that there is no undeclared device capabilities. The ROSA Mobile OS includes a browser, mail client, instant messengers, organizer, text and multimedia editors, as well as other basic applications necessary for everyday activities. The OS supports integration with Russian office packages, document management systems and analytical platforms, which makes it a suitable choice for domestic ecosystems.
Inclusion in the list of recommended domestic software
FSUE "ProtectionInfoTrans" included the operating system ROSA Mobile, developed by STC IT ROSA, in the list of recommended domestic software. This was announced by STC IT ROSA on January 19, 2025.
This list was created within the framework of the import substitution program and serves as an important tool to ensure the technological independence of the transport industry from foreign software. In accordance with the law, Russian transport companies are obliged to use solutions from this list when purchasing software, which makes the inclusion of ROSA Mobile OS a significant step in the development of the country's digital sovereignty and confirms its high reliability, safety and compliance with the requirements.
 | We are proud that ROSA Mobile has been included in the list of recommended software for the transport industry. This achievement confirms that Russian developments are able to compete with the best foreign counterparts and provide users with reliable tools for work, - said Oleg Karpitsky, General Director of STC IT ROSA JSC. |  |

The ROSA Mobile operating system has been certified by the FSTEC of Russia in the 4th level of trust. This confirms the compliance of the OS with strict security requirements and opens up new opportunities for its use in facilities with high requirements for the protection of confidential information. This was announced by STC IT ROSA on November 28, 2024.
Thus, ROSA Mobile complies with the information security requirements established in the documents "Information Security Requirements Establishing Levels of Trust in Information Security Tools and Information Technology Security Tools" (FSTEC of Russia, 2020) - by Level 4 of Trust, "Information Security Requirements for Operating Systems" (FSTEC of Russia, 2016) and "Protection Profile of Operating Systems of Type A of the Fourth Protection Class. IT.OS.A4.PZ (FSTEC of Russia, 2017). This confirms the compliance of the OS with strict security requirements and opens up new opportunities for its use in facilities with high requirements for the protection of confidential information.
The certificate of conformity, number 4867, was entered into the state register of the certification system for information protection tools in accordance with information security requirements on November 13, 2024.
| | Certification of FSTEC of Russia on the 4th level of trust is a significant step for our company.

ROSA Mobile smartphone R-FON is the first experience of full integration, demonstrating that domestic technologies are capable of ensuring security at the highest level, - said the Oleg Karpitsky General Director of STC IT ROSA JSC. | |
Access to RuStore
Users of ROSA Mobile will gain access to the application directory using RuStore. They will be able to download, install and update mobile applications. This was announced by STC IT ROSA on November 25, 2024.
Thanks to the built-in Android emulator, which runs in a secure and isolated ROSA Mobile OS container, users can safely install and run applications on their devices.
User security is ensured at several levels: a secure container provides isolation of Android applications from the main system, and all applications in RuStore undergo mandatory moderation and are checked using antivirus systems.
RuStore integration into the ROSA ecosystem helps meet the demand for Russian solutions and guarantees data protection.
| | The main task of RuStore is to ensure convenient and secure distribution of applications in Russia. Thanks to our cooperation with STC IT ROSA, R-FON users will be able to install, download and update all familiar applications, - said Oleg Afanasyev, Product Director of RuStore. | |
| | The integration of RuStore into our ecosystem is a significant step in creating a secure digital space for Russian users. We are confident that this cooperation will strengthen user confidence in our solutions, - commented Oleg Karpitsky, CEO of STC IT ROSA. | |
Compatibility with InfoWatch Traffic Monitor
Companies InfoWatch STC IT ROSA have tested the compatibility of solutions: - DLP systems InfoWatch Traffic Monitor OS and ROSA Mobile. As part of the partnership, the companies tested the ability to monitor corporate mail on operating R-FON smartphone under the ROSA Mobile OS. This was announced by STC IT ROSA on August 19, 2024.
The use of corporate mail by employees on a mobile phone entails additional risks of information leakage: an employee can save a confidential letter or attachment on a smartphone and thereby take it out of control. In this case, data transfer does not occur, which means that it is impossible to track the leak using the classic DLP system without installing the agent on your personal gadget. To solve this problem, InfoWatch Traffic Monitor uses a module to monitor data synchronization protocols between mail servers and mobile clients. This approach prevents data leakage even if the data is not transmitted directly from one user to another.
| | The use of the InfoWatch Traffic Monitor allows users to safely and efficiently use R-BACKGROUND running on ROSA Mobile and minimize the risks of information leakage. We are confident that our cooperation with InfoWatch will open up opportunities to improve the security of corporate information, said Oleg Karpitsky, General Director of IT ROSA Research and Development Center.
| |
| | Mobile devices are a full-fledged working tool, so corporate data protection should be built taking into account their use. Thanks to the integration of InfoWatch Traffic Monitor and ROSA Mobile, we have implemented monitoring of this communication channel and are ready to offer customers who use both solutions a new level of protection of confidential information, "added Andrey Arefiev, director of innovative projects at InfoWatch Group. | |
