Cybersecurity & threat detection
Audit, harden, monitor and rehearse the response — so a breach is an incident you handle rather than a crisis you discover late.
Audit, harden, monitor and rehearse the response — so a breach is an incident you handle rather than a crisis you discover late.
A typical engagement audits your current exposure across infrastructure, applications and access, hardens the gaps by priority, sets up monitoring and alerting for suspicious activity, and produces a rehearsed incident response plan covering the DPDP Act's breach notification obligations.
Most successful attacks on organisations of this size are not sophisticated. They exploit an unpatched server, a reused password without multi-factor authentication, an exposed database, or a phishing email nobody was trained to spot. Advanced tooling bought before those are fixed is money spent on the wrong layer.
So we work in order of what actually gets exploited: access control and MFA, patching, exposure reduction, backup integrity, then monitoring and detection. Unglamorous, and it closes the paths attackers actually use.
Infrastructure, applications, access and third-party exposure.
Ranked by likelihood and impact, not by tool category.
Access control, MFA, patching, network isolation, encryption.
Log aggregation, alerting on anomalies, verified backups.
A written plan, walked through, with DPDP obligations covered.
Audit as a fixed-price first phase of two to four weeks. Remediation is scoped from the findings.
Stack decisions follow the problem. This is where we usually start, not a fixed menu.
No. A penetration test attempts to exploit specific systems and tells you what an attacker could reach. An audit reviews configuration, access, processes and exposure more broadly. Most organisations get more value from the audit first, then a penetration test once the obvious gaps are closed.
Under the DPDP Act 2023, personal data breaches must be notified to the Data Protection Board and to affected individuals. The practical difficulty is detecting and scoping a breach quickly enough to report accurately, which is why monitoring and a rehearsed plan matter more than the policy document.
A discovery call is a working session on your constraint, not a sales pitch.
A short note is enough. You'll hear back from the team, not a bot — usually within one working day.
