See our testing methodologyFrom First Contact to Final Report
This is what happens once you get in touch. If you would rather have a number first, the pricing page works out an estimate without talking to anyone.
Initial Inquiry
You tell us why you are testing, your deadline, what you have built, and who reads the report at the end. We scope it with you and give you an estimate. Nothing is binding yet.
NDA, Demo & Access Check
We sign a mutual NDA. You walk us through the product and give us access, so we see the real size of the job. The estimate can go down as easily as up.
Formal Quote, SOW & Advance
Now we have seen it, you get a written quote at a fixed price. This is the binding number, not the earlier estimate. Approve it and the SOW locks scope, dates and deliverables; a 50% advance books your slot. Nothing changes after signing.
Test & v1 Report
Testing starts on the booked dates. The v1 report lands in 5 business days per scope. The balance is invoiced on delivery.
On the Growth Plan the report also carries SOC 2 and ISO 27001 mapping and a Letter of Attestation.
Free Retest & v2.0
Included in every plan, not a paid add-on. Tell us when your fixes are live and we start then, up to one month after the v1 report. v2.0 re-checks every finding.
Each step is set out in full, including what is in scope and what is explicitly not, on our testing methodology.
Why Startups Choose Us Over
Freelancers and Enterprise Firms
Founder-Led, Capped at 6 Clients
Both founders work on every engagement. Pentests are led by Rathnakara, whose OSCP you can verify on Credly, supported by senior security professionals. We take at most 6 pentests a month, so yours is never deprioritised or handed to a junior.
Fixed Price. No Scope Creep.
Pentest from INR 74,999, including founder consulting hours and a free retest. You see the number before you talk to us, and it does not move afterwards: no change orders, no surprise line items, price locked once you sign.
Built for the Compliance You Actually Face
SOC 2 and ISO 27001 evidence for the enterprise security review and the investor checklist, and the Indian regime you operate under: CERT-In 6-hour reporting, the DPDP Act, RBI directives. We know the deadlines because we work to them.
You Get Unblocked, Not Just a Report.
The pentest exists to clear whatever is blocking you: the enterprise security review, the SOC 2 audit, the investor's diligence checklist. You get a report your buyers and auditors accept, and a free retest that verifies the fixes, so every finding closes as "remediated," not "open."
What you get
Included in every pentest engagement, on both plans unless noted.
| Who tests | Both founders on every engagement, from kickoff through retest. |
|---|---|
| Price | Priced by effort: how many scopes, and what each one takes to test. Startup INR 74,999 for 1 scope, Growth INR 1,79,999 for 2 scopes, additional scopes at published rates. The INR figure is the one that binds; if you pay from outside India, your bank converts at its rate on the day you pay. The quote is a ceiling: if a walkthrough shows two areas fit inside one scope, it comes down. If anything needs a scope of its own we tell you in writing, with the reason it cannot share one, before the SOW, and you decide. Once the SOW is signed the scope and the cost are fixed, and only then do we raise the proforma invoice. |
| Timeline | 5 business days per scope, so 1 scope is 5 and 2 are 10. Scopes run sequentially by default; from the 4th you can ask us to run the 3rd and 4th together, which brings a 4-scope engagement to 15 business days instead of 20. Business days are Monday to Friday, so the weekend stays a quality buffer. The clock starts once access is verified, so waiting on access never comes out of your testing time. |
| While it runs | A written progress update every week during testing, and each confirmed finding sent as we find it, so remediation can start before the report lands. |
| Methodology | OWASP Top 10 and PTES, with manual testing on authentication, authorization and business logic. |
| Report | Technical and executive report. Every finding carries reproduction steps and remediation guidance. |
| Retest | 1 free retest on both plans, covering every finding rather than only Critical and High. One month from the v1.0 report is the outer bound, not a wait: tell us when your fixes are in and we go sooner. It takes 1 to 3 business days and comes back as a full v2.0 report, not a status update. |
| Consulting hours | 6 hours with Startup, 12 with Growth. Founder-led, usable within 6 and 12 months from kickoff. |
| Compliance | SOC 2 and ISO 27001 mapped per finding on the Growth plan. CERT-In reporting, DPDP Act and RBI directives throughout. |

Understanding Our Services
What our terms mean, how engagements work, and what to expect. Can't find what you need? Ask us directly.
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 one month of the v1.0 report. The Growth plan adds SOC 2 + ISO 27001 compliance mapping so your auditor can use the report directly.

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. Start with a pentest (Startup at INR 74,999 includes 6 hours of founder-led consulting + 1 free retest). You get founder access to figure out priorities and what to fix first.
Which service do I need: pentest or compliance?
Pentest: if an investor, enterprise client, or auditor is asking for a security assessment report.
Compliance: if you have a SOC 2 or ISO 27001 deadline and need the full audit prep, which pairs naturally with the pentest evidence.
