Cybersecurity Assessment
Find out what an attacker can reach, before one does.
A breach resilience assessment that attacks your estate from outside and inside, proves which findings chain into a breach, and measures whether your controls detect it. Every finding is manually validated, mapped to your regulator and stated in business terms.

Why organisations commission a breach resilience assessment
"Our last VAPT had no criticals"
A clean scan says little about whether medium findings chain together into a breach. This assessment tests the chain, which is how real attacks work.
Your regulator has raised the floor
RBI's IT directions, SEBI's cybersecurity framework, IRDAI's cyber guidelines and CERT-In's directions all expect tested controls. DPDP adds reasonable safeguards under Rule 6.
The Board asks whether it could happen here
After a peer's breach, leadership wants evidence about its own estate, stated as business and rupee impact.
Partners and clients want proof
Banks, platforms and enterprise customers increasingly ask for a recent assessment, a retest and a safe-to-host letter before they connect.
Proof, impact and a sequenced fix
Every workstream is written in plain language, with proof for each finding, its business impact and the order in which to fix it.
External attack surface and threat intelligence
Exposed assets, leaked credentials, brand and dark-web exposure, with live evidence.
Application, API and mobile testing report
Every finding manually validated with a working proof of concept and mapped to OWASP.
Internal infrastructure report
Active Directory attack paths, server and cloud exposure and segmentation gaps, with exploitability proven.
Breach and attack simulation results
How your endpoint, server and network controls performed against real adversary behaviours, mapped to MITRE ATT&CK.
Cyber maturity score
An evidence-backed score across the six NIST CSF 2.0 functions, with a maturity roadmap.
Board view
The attack chain, key findings, business and rupee impact, and a prioritised roadmap on a single page.
Retest and certificate
Fixes retested after remediation, with a VAPT certificate or safe-to-host letter for clients and regulators.
We attack first, then explain why it worked
Every asset class, tested to a published standard
The same approach runs across internal systems, cloud and OT, and exercises every NIST CSF 2.0 function from outside and inside.

Tested against the attacks and rules your sector faces
- RBI IT governance and outsourcing expectations tested alongside CERT-In directions.
- Core banking, digital lending apps, APIs and partner connections in scope.
- Payment data localisation and customer-data exposure checked in the same pass.
Findings that sit beside your privacy posture
The assessment uses specialist attack tooling, and its findings land on DataSurity with the rest of your risk picture.
- Data Discovery & ClassificationShows where personal data sits, so findings on those systems are ranked higher and tied to Rule 6.
- Assessment & Compliance ReportingSecurity findings join the same register, with DPDP and sector citations, owners and retest status.
- Data Journey MappingSystems and vendors in the register show which processing activities each finding puts at risk.
Findings, retest status and the maturity score stay on DataSurity beside your DPDP posture, so the Board sees one picture of risk.
Trusted by leaders across industries
“We knew patient data sat in our hospital information system. We didn't know how much had spread into lab exports, scanned reports and shared drives until DataSurity's assessment showed us. The team understood hospital realities, from paediatric records to staff data, and gave us a plan we could actually run. Implementation is now moving ward by ward, with consent and rights handled in one place.”

Frequently asked questions
How is this different from our annual VAPT?
A typical VAPT runs a scanner, lists vulnerabilities by severity and stops. This assessment attacks from outside and inside, chains findings to show what an attacker can actually reach, and measures whether your controls detect it. Every finding is proven, and fixes are retested.
What does it find that a normal assessment misses?
In one recent engagement at a listed enterprise, the perimeter held well. From outside, we still found around 294,000 people's records exposed across four data stores and about 2,900 employee passwords readable in plaintext, and proved a full admin takeover of the public website. Inside, 62% of simulated endpoint attacks ran unblocked, including ransomware and backup deletion.
Is breach and attack simulation safe to run on live systems?
Yes. The simulations reproduce attacker techniques without destructive payloads, run on an agreed sample of machines, and follow scope and rules agreed in writing before anything starts. Your security team is informed throughout and can stop a test at any time.
Does it cover our regulator and the DPDP Act?
Yes. Findings are mapped to the RBI, SEBI, IRDAI or CERT-In requirements that apply to you, and to the reasonable safeguards Rule 6 of the DPDP Rules requires for systems holding personal data. One assessment serves your regulator, your auditors and your privacy programme.
Do we get a certificate for our clients or regulator?
Yes. After you fix the findings, we retest them and issue a VAPT certificate or a safe-to-host letter covering the scope tested. It's a common requirement from partner banks, platforms and enterprise customers before they connect.
Where is AI used, and does it replace testers?
AI speeds up external discovery and runs the breadth of breach and attack simulation. Senior testers do the rest: they validate every finding by hand, build the exploit chains and interpret the results. No unverified scanner output reaches the report.
