VAPT Services in Bengaluru · SaaS & Product

The Bengaluru VAPT buyer is rarely a compliance officer. It is the VP of Engineering at a Series-C SaaS in Embassy Tech Village, the Head of AppSec at a fintech off Sarjapur Road, or a platform-engineering lead at a Whitefield product company who has just been handed an enterprise customer's vendor-security questionnaire and a 30-day window to answer it. The conversation is microservice sprawl, multi-tenant isolation, OAuth scope creep, GraphQL authz and the half-dozen third-party SaaS integrations that quietly hold customer PII. We scope around that reality, not a 200-control checklist.

Most of our Bengaluru engagements cluster along the Outer Ring Road corridor — Bellandur, Marathahalli, Mahadevapura — plus Koramangala, Indiranagar and the Whitefield product belt out toward Hoodi. Senior consultants travel from the Mumbai BKC bench for kickoff, threat-modelling whiteboards and exit reviews; the active testing runs against staging environments on AWS Mumbai (ap-south-1), Singapore (ap-southeast-1) or GCP asia-south1. Mobile builds get reverse-engineered against the latest Play Store and TestFlight artefacts using Frida, MobSF and a Macksofy-internal traffic-replay harness.

Bengaluru SaaS scoping is opinionated. We always insist on a threat-model whiteboard session on day one because product teams almost universally underestimate two things: how many auth boundaries actually exist between their microservices, and how many third-party SaaS tools (Segment, Auth0, Stripe, Slack apps, internal admin panels behind Tailscale) sit inside the trust boundary. A typical SaaS engagement covers a public-facing web app, the API gateway behind it, two to four backend microservices on EKS, a GraphQL aggregator, an iOS and Android app, and the OAuth dance with at least one enterprise SSO IdP — usually Okta, Azure AD or Google Workspace.

Manual abuse-case testing leans on Burp Suite Pro with the GraphQL Voyager and InQL extensions, Postman collections, the Macksofy fork of jwt_tool for token-substitution attacks, and BloodHound for any internal AD that creeps into scope. We run authorisation-matrix testing against every role pair (tenant-admin → tenant-user, tenant-admin → cross-tenant-admin, support-staff → tenant-data) — broken object-level authorisation (BOLA) is the single highest-frequency Critical we ship on Bengaluru SaaS reports. GraphQL-specific tests cover introspection abuse, batching/aliasing rate-limit bypass, and field-level authz drift between resolvers.

Findings are written for engineers, not auditors. Repro steps are curl/Burp/Postman/HTTPie one-liners. Remediation is a pull-request-ready snippet — a corrected GraphQL resolver, a tightened OPA/Rego policy, a Helm values diff, a Terraform IAM-policy patch. The deliverable also ships as a Jira-importable CSV with severity, CWE, CVSS, affected service and a suggested epic-link so the AppSec team can drop it straight into the next sprint without re-typing. We map every finding to OWASP ASVS L2, OWASP API Security Top 10 (2023), SOC 2 CC6/CC7 controls and ISO 27001:2022 Annex A — same VAPT closes the next enterprise customer's questionnaire and the auditor's evidence ask.

Procurement at Bengaluru product companies usually closes on the engineering side, not procurement. The CTO or VP Engineering signs off, AppSec sets the technical SoW, and finance attaches a fixed-fee PO. We size proposals around a 1-week threat-model + scoping block, 2-3 weeks of testing, and a 1-week re-test window — total elapsed 4-5 weeks. For Series-C and later companies shipping weekly we offer a continuous-testing retainer with monthly delta tests against new releases and a full-coverage quarterly cycle, which most ORR clients prefer to a once-a-year point-in-time scan.

Bengaluru clients preparing for SOC 2 Type II or an enterprise customer's security review get a sanitised vendor-pack alongside the technical report — the same artefact answers the auditor and the customer's CISO without re-assembly. For Series-D-and-later SaaS preparing for a US or European enterprise sale, we include a TPRM-ready summary mapped to the SIG Lite and CAIQ Lite question sets, which compresses the typical 6-week procurement back-and-forth into something closer to two weeks.

Where the engagement intersects the Bengaluru fintech ecosystem — a payments product, a wealth app, a lending platform with an RBI Account Aggregator integration — we layer in RBI Master Direction on IT Governance (November 2023) and PA-PG audit evidence so the same VAPT closes both the SaaS questionnaire flow and the regulator submission. Bengaluru fintech founders are almost always running a parallel Mumbai compliance track; we make sure the VAPT does not become a duplicate spend.
