A VAPT company for Bangalore teams that ship every week

Who is asking for your penetration test, and what will they accept?

Start here. The driver decides the scope, the frequency and whether the tester’s credentials matter.

The RBI’s Master Direction on Information Technology Governance, Risk, Controls and Assurance Practices took effect on 1 April 2024. SEBI’s CSCRF circular of August 2024 sets testing by category. CERT-In publishes its list of empanelled information security auditing organisations on its website; check any firm’s claim against it.

VAPT that fits a weekly release cycle

A once-a-year pentest of a product that ships every week tests a version that no longer exists. Bangalore product teams usually combine four layers:

Most findings that matter in SaaS products are authorisation flaws, where one tenant or user can see or change another’s data, and business-logic flaws, where a workflow can be abused. Scanners rarely find either. Our CI/CD pipeline guide covers the automated layer; the manual layers need people.

What we test in Bangalore fintech and SaaS products

• Tenant and object authorisation: can user A read or change user B’s records by changing an ID in the API, a GraphQL query or a file URL?
• Payment and lending flows: amount and currency tampering, replayed callbacks, webhook signature checks, race conditions on wallet balances and refunds.
• Authentication: OTP brute-forcing and reuse, rate limits, session handling across web and app, account recovery abuse.
• KYC and document upload: file type and size checks, access to other users’ documents, storage bucket permissions.
• Mobile apps: secrets in the app package, certificate pinning, local storage, deep links that skip checks, and the APIs behind the app.
• Cloud accounts: over-broad roles, public storage, exposed management ports, keys in CI systems and paths from a compromised service to production data.

How to judge a list of “top VAPT companies in Bangalore”

1. Who wrote the list? If the publisher is on it, treat it as an advert.
2. Ask for a sample report. Redacted, from a real engagement. Look for reproduction steps, business impact and specific fixes, not pages of scanner output.
3. Ask who tests. Named testers with relevant experience, and how much of the time is manual.
4. Ask about retests. Is the retest of fixed findings included, and within what period?
5. Check empanelment claims against CERT-In’s published list if you need an empanelled auditor.
6. Ask how they handle production. Testing windows, rate limits, emergency contacts, and what they will never do.
7. Ask what you get beyond the PDF: a debrief with your engineers, findings in your tracker, an attestation letter for customers.

What a useful VAPT report contains

How to prepare your team for a penetration test

A week of preparation saves days of testing time and gives a more useful report. Before the window opens:

1. Write down why you are testing and who will read the report: a customer, an auditor, a regulator or your own team. It changes the scope and the report format.
2. List what is in scope: domains, API base URLs, app builds, cloud account IDs and any third-party services you are allowed to test.
3. Create test accounts for every role, including two accounts per tenant or organisation so testers can check whether one can reach the other’s data.
4. Freeze or note deployments during the window, so findings can be reproduced against a known version.
5. Tell your monitoring team or provider, and agree how test traffic will be recognised, so a real attack in the same week is not dismissed as testing.
6. Name a technical contact who can answer questions the same day and an emergency contact for anything critical.
7. Share API documentation or an OpenAPI file and any previous reports, so testers spend their time on new ground.

After the report: turning findings into fixes

The report is the start of the work, not the end. Load each finding into your tracker with an owner and a target date set by severity, fix the critical and high ones first, and ask the testers in the debrief which findings share a root cause, because one fix to an authorisation check often closes several findings at once. Once fixes are deployed, book the retest, then send customers the attestation letter rather than the full report. Track recurring findings across tests: the same class of bug appearing twice usually means a missing check in code review or a missing test in CI.

What drives the cost of a penetration test in Bangalore?

We send a fixed quote after a scoping call; we do not publish rates. Effort, and therefore price, depends on the number of applications and user roles, the number of API endpoints, whether mobile apps are in scope on one or both platforms, the number of cloud accounts, whether internal networks are included, testing windows outside working hours, and how many retests you need. A focused test of one web app and its API is a different job from an annual test across products, mobile apps and cloud. If you are budgeting for SOC 2 as well, our SOC 2 cost guide shows where the pentest fits.
