Cybersecurity Services · Audit · VAPT · Compliance

Security built on evidence, not assumptions.

We find the gaps in your applications, networks and cloud before attackers do — then help you close them, prove compliance and stay secure.

Why it matters

Every technology system is a target.

Every organisation is now a technology organisation, and every technology system is a target. Navaacharan brings the same research-driven rigour we use to build software, AI and embedded systems to testing and securing them. We combine hands-on offensive testing with structured audits and compliance guidance, so you get both the technical findings and the roadmap to fix them.

Why Navaacharan for security

Builders who know where systems break.

01

Builders, not just testers.

We engineer software, AI and IoT systems, so our findings come with fixes your developers can actually apply.

02

Manual depth, not scanner dumps.

Automated tools start the work; experienced testers finish it, verifying every finding and removing false positives.

03

Reports for two audiences.

An executive summary for leadership and step-by-step technical detail for your engineering team.

04

Free retest.

After you remediate, we retest the reported issues and confirm closure.

05

Confidential by default.

NDA before scoping, strict handling of your data, and testing only within written, agreed scope.

06

Standards-aligned.

Methodology mapped to OWASP, NIST, PTES and ISO/IEC 27001 controls.

Our services

From first test to lasting assurance.

Service detail

What each engagement includes.

01

Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing (VAPT)

Find it before they do. Our VAPT combines broad vulnerability discovery with targeted, manual exploitation to show what an attacker could really achieve. Every finding is verified, risk-rated and paired with a clear fix.

What's included

  • Web application and API testing (OWASP Top 10, OWASP API Top 10)
  • Mobile application testing — Android and iOS (OWASP MASVS)
  • External and internal network penetration testing
  • Wireless and Active Directory assessments
  • Black-box, grey-box and white-box approaches
  • CVSS-scored report, remediation guidance and retest
02

Security Audits

An independent view of where you stand. We review your security controls, configurations, policies and processes against recognised frameworks, then give you a prioritised plan to close the gaps.

What's included

  • IT general controls and infrastructure audits
  • Firewall, server, endpoint and network device configuration reviews
  • Access control and privileged account reviews
  • Policy and procedure review
  • Internal audit support and third-party / vendor risk assessments
  • Audit report with risk ratings and management action plan
03

Security Testing

Security built into every release. We test applications and code continuously, so issues are caught in development rather than in production.

What's included

  • Secure source-code review (manual and SAST)
  • Dynamic application security testing (DAST)
  • Secure SDLC and DevSecOps integration
  • Pre-release and post-release security testing
  • Developer secure-coding workshops
04

Virtual CISO (vCISO)

Security leadership, without the full-time cost. Our vCISO service gives you an experienced security leader who sets strategy, builds your programme and reports to your board — on a retainer that fits your size.

What's included

  • Security strategy and 12-month roadmap
  • Risk assessment and risk register
  • Policies, standards and governance framework
  • Board and management reporting
  • Incident response planning and tabletop exercises
  • Vendor and third-party security oversight
  • Security awareness programme for staff
05

Compliance & Certification

From gap to certificate. We guide you through every stage of compliance — assessing gaps, writing documentation, implementing controls and preparing you for the external audit.

Start your ISO 27001 journey →

What's included

  • ISO/IEC 27001 implementation and certification readiness
  • SOC 2 Type I and Type II readiness
  • PCI DSS readiness
  • Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, 2023 compliance
  • RBI, SEBI and CERT-In security guideline alignment
  • GDPR and HIPAA readiness for global clients
  • Gap assessment, policy documentation, internal audit and audit-day support
06

Cloud Security

Secure configuration from day one. Most cloud breaches start with a misconfiguration. We review and harden your AWS, Azure and Google Cloud environments against CIS Benchmarks and provider best practice.

What's included

  • Cloud configuration and posture review
  • Identity and access management (IAM) review
  • Container and Kubernetes security
  • Cloud penetration testing
  • Hardening guidance and remediation support
07

Managed Security & SOC

Eyes on your environment. We help you detect threats early and respond fast, through monitoring, SIEM setup and incident response support.

What's included

  • SIEM deployment and tuning (e.g. Microsoft Sentinel)
  • Endpoint detection and response (EDR) management
  • Log monitoring and alert triage
  • Threat hunting
  • Incident response and digital forensics support
08

AI, IoT & Embedded Security

Security for the systems we know best. As builders of AI, IoT and embedded systems, we test them the way they are attacked — from model manipulation to firmware extraction.

What's included

  • AI / LLM application security testing (prompt injection, data leakage, model abuse)
  • IoT device and firmware security assessment
  • Drone and UAV communication security
  • Hardware interface testing (UART, JTAG)
  • Secure-by-design architecture reviews

How we work

From scope to verified closure.

1

Scope & Discovery

We understand your business, map your assets and agree a clear, written scope and rules of engagement.

2

Assess & Test

We combine automated scanning with manual testing and audit review to uncover real, exploitable risk.

3

Report, Remediate & Retest

You receive prioritised findings with fixes; we support remediation and verify closure.

FAQs

Questions we hear most.

Talk to a security expert →
What is the difference between a vulnerability assessment and a penetration test?

A vulnerability assessment identifies and lists known weaknesses. A penetration test goes further, safely exploiting them to show real-world impact. VAPT combines both.

Will testing disrupt our live systems?

No. We agree scope, timing and rules of engagement in writing first, avoid destructive techniques, and can test in staging or off-peak hours.

How long does a VAPT engagement take?

Most web application tests take one to two weeks, depending on size and complexity. We share a timeline with every proposal.

Do you help us fix the issues you find?

Yes. Every finding includes remediation steps, our team supports your developers, and we retest to confirm each issue is closed.

Can you get us ISO 27001 or SOC 2 certified?

We prepare you end to end — gap analysis, documentation, controls and audit readiness. The certificate itself is issued by an accredited certification body, and we support you through that audit.

Do you sign an NDA?

Always, before any scoping discussion that involves your systems or data.

What does a vCISO cost compared with a full-time CISO?

A vCISO is engaged on a monthly retainer for a set number of days, typically a fraction of a full-time senior hire. We size it to your needs.
