Understanding Our Services
What our terms mean, how engagements work, and what to expect. Can't find what you need? Ask us directly.
What does the Security Retainer include?
INR 24,999 per month with a 3-month minimum. Each month you get 10 hours of founder-led security consulting, 1 automated OpenEASD scan report, and 1 automated Brand Protection scan report. Extra hours billed at a flat INR 2,500/hour, no surge pricing. Use for architecture review, cloud hardening, SDLC guidance, compliance prep, threat modeling, or incident readiness. Same team every month. View pricing →
What do I actually get in the pentest report?
A technical report with full vulnerability details, reproduction steps, and fix guidance for your engineering team, plus a 2-page executive summary for your investor or board. Both pentest plans include 1 free retest within 30 calendar days of v1.0. The Growth plan adds SOC 2 + ISO 27001 compliance mapping so your auditor can use the report directly. See a sample report →
Do pentest plans include monthly external or brand scans?
No. Pentest plans are pentest + retest + consulting hours only (Startup INR 74,999 / Growth INR 1,79,999). If you want ongoing monthly OpenEASD external attack surface scans (subdomains, exposed services, certificates, DNS posture, mail security) and Brand Protection scans (typosquatting, leaked credentials, fake apps, phishing), these are bundled with the Security Retainer (INR 24,999/month, 3-month minimum). The Retainer includes 1 OpenEASD scan + 1 Brand Protection scan per month, plus 10 hours of founder-led consulting per month.
How is this different from automated scanning tools?
Automated scanners find known technical vulnerabilities. They cannot find business logic flaws, like a coupon code that applies multiple times, an API that returns other users' data, or an admin action with no role check on the backend. We combine automated scanning with manual testing. Automated tools handle discovery and known vulnerability checks, our team handles the business logic analysis and chained exploits that only make sense in context of how your product works.
We don't have a security team. Can you still help?
That's exactly who we work with. Most of our clients are Seed to Series B startups where security is handled by one DevOps engineer or not at all. Either start with a pentest (Startup at INR 74,999 includes 6 hours of consulting + 1 free retest) or the Security Retainer (INR 24,999/month for 10 hours + 1 monthly OpenEASD scan + 1 monthly Brand Protection scan). Both give you founder access to figure out priorities.
Which service do I need: pentest, consulting, or compliance?
Pentest: if an investor, enterprise client, or auditor is asking for a security assessment report.
Security Retainer: if you need ongoing security support (architecture reviews, secure SDLC, cloud hardening, monthly scans). INR 24,999/month, 3-month minimum.
Compliance: if you have a SOC 2 or ISO 27001 deadline and need the full audit prep.
Threat Intelligence: if you want continuous visibility into dark web exposure and threats targeting your business.
