Services & Approach

What services does Verentix offer?
We offer 24+ cybersecurity services across five domains: Infrastructure and Network Security (VAPT, configuration review, ATM security, ICS/OT), Application Security (web, mobile, API testing, source code review), Cloud Security (AWS/Azure/GCP assessment, cloud migration), Offensive Testing (red teaming, BAS, CART, social engineering), and Advisory and GRC (ISO 27001, threat modeling, CERT-In compliance, BCP/DR).
What is the DeepStrike™ Methodology?
DeepStrike™ is our proprietary 15-step offensive security framework. It begins with business discovery and architecture mapping, proceeds through threat modeling, attack surface enumeration, automated scanning, manual exploitation, and exploit chaining, then delivers dual executive and technical reports, developer fix support, retesting, and continuous monitoring. It is designed to find what automated scanners miss.
How is Verentix different from other cybersecurity companies?
Three key differences: First, we test business processes, not just applications — over 60% of our critical findings are business logic flaws that scanners miss. Second, our reports are developer-ready with root cause analysis and fix recommendations in your specific tech stack. Third, we stay as your security partner through the fix cycle — re-testing and validating until every risk is resolved.
Do you use automated tools or manual testing?
Both. We use industry-standard automated scanners for broad vulnerability discovery, but the real value comes from expert manual testing. Business logic vulnerabilities, authentication flaws, payment manipulation, and complex attack chains can only be found through manual analysis by experienced security researchers.
Can you test our application without accessing source code?
Yes. We offer both black-box testing (no source code access, simulating an external attacker) and white-box testing (with source code access for deeper analysis). We recommend a gray-box approach for the best balance of coverage and efficiency.

Pricing & Engagement

How much does penetration testing cost?
Pricing depends on scope and complexity. Typical ranges for Indian businesses: we have affordable prices for both startup level and enterprise clients. Contact us for a specific quote based on your requirements.
What engagement models do you offer?
We offer three models: Project-based (2-6 weeks, defined scope), Retainer (quarterly, flexible scope, unlimited re-testing), and Managed Security (annual, full coverage, dedicated engineer, custom pricing).
How long does a typical engagement take?
Project-based engagements typically take 2-6 weeks depending on scope. This includes planning, testing, reporting, and debrief. Retainer engagements are ongoing with quarterly assessment cycles.
Is re-testing included in the price?
Yes. Every engagement includes at least one round of re-testing to verify that remediation is effective. On retainer engagements, re-testing is unlimited.
Do you provide a free consultation?
Yes. We offer a free 30-minute consultation to understand your security needs, assess your current posture, and recommend the right approach. No sales pitch — just an honest assessment.

Compliance & Regulations

Is VAPT mandatory for Indian businesses?
For many industries, yes. RBI mandates regular security assessments for banks, NBFCs, and payment processors. SEBI requires cybersecurity audits for stock brokers and mutual funds. CERT-In directives require organisations to demonstrate proactive security testing. The DPDP Act creates additional obligations for businesses processing personal data.
Do you help with CERT-In compliance?
Yes. We provide CERT-In advisory services including compliance assessment, incident reporting procedures, security control implementation, and log retention configuration as required by CERT-In directives.
Can you help us achieve ISO 27001 certification?
Yes. We provide end-to-end ISO 27001 implementation including gap assessment, risk assessment, policy and procedure development, control implementation, internal auditing, and certification audit preparation. Typical timeline is 12-16 weeks.
Do your reports satisfy audit requirements?
Yes. Our reports are designed to satisfy requirements of ISO 27001, PCI DSS, SOC 2, RBI, SEBI, and CERT-In audits. They include detailed findings, risk ratings, evidence of testing, and remediation verification.

Technical

What certifications do your testers hold?
Our team holds OSCP, CEH, CISSP, OSWE, CRTP, CRTO, CAPen, and cloud security certifications from AWS, Azure, and GCP. We continuously invest in training and research to stay ahead of emerging threats.
Will penetration testing cause downtime?
No. Professional penetration testing is designed to be non-disruptive. We coordinate testing windows with your team, avoid production-breaking exploits without approval, and have tested banking systems and payment gateways during live operations without any downtime.
Do you test for OWASP Top 10?
Yes, and much more. OWASP Top 10 is our baseline, but we go significantly deeper with business logic testing, authentication and session management analysis, API security testing, payment flow manipulation, and complex multi-step attack chains.
Can you test our cloud infrastructure?
Yes. We assess AWS, Azure, and GCP environments covering IAM, network security, storage, encryption, logging, compliance posture, and cloud-specific attack vectors like SSRF to metadata services, credential theft, and lateral movement.
