Cloud penetration testing in India

Cloud penetration testing for India. Built around CERT-In, DPDP, and RBI cloud rules.

We test your AWS, Azure, and GCP estate the way an attacker would, then map every finding to CERT-In 2022 directions, the DPDP Act, and RBI and SEBI cloud mandates, so your Indian auditors and regulators accept the report without a second round.

Four cloud lanes, AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, each annotated with one named bug class actually exploited in real engagements.

Four providers

AWS · Azure · GCP · Kubernetes, one method, four control planes.

Evidence

Working proof-of-exploit and code-level fix guidance on every finding.

Re-test included

We verify your fixes at no extra cost. One engagement, closed loop.

Why now

A single over-permissive IAM role escalates to org-wide blast radius.

Cloud depth, Indian rules.

One misconfiguration is never just one finding. It's the first step into your account.

A single over-permissive IAM role or an exposed key is rarely the whole risk. We chain those small gaps the way an attacker would, from one weak setting to real access across your account, and tie the path back to CERT-In log-retention and DPDP data-residency obligations so your India compliance team sees the business impact, not just a CVSS score.

How AI fits across AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes pentests

What we test

Four cloud surfaces. One engagement.

Each provider gets a manual, threat-modelled review against its real attack surface, control plane, identity, network, and workload. Intensity tunes per scope.

Amazon AWS

IMDSv1 SSRF, IAM role chaining, public S3 enumeration, Lambda over-privilege, EKS cluster-role abuse, KMS key-policy misuse, Cognito user-pool misconfig, Secrets Manager exposure.

Microsoft Azure

Managed identity over-scope, Storage Account SAS leak, Function App env exposure, AKS pod-identity abuse, Key Vault access policy bypass, Azure AD application consent, Logic App secret reuse.

Google Cloud Platform

Workload-identity confusion, service-account impersonation, Cloud Run scope abuse, GKE node pool escape, Secret Manager IAM gaps, Cloud Storage bucket policy bypass, Cloud Functions trigger replay.

Kubernetes

Pod escape via privileged container, RBAC bypass, etcd exposure, kubelet API abuse, sidecar/init container attack paths, NetworkPolicy gaps, admission-controller bypass, ServiceAccount token theft.

CLOUD PENTEST METHODOLOGY.

Eight phases. Control plane to workload.

Threat-modelled to your control plane, identity model, and workload topology. Not a template we run against every cloud.

Built for India engagements

What changes when we deliver here.

  • Compliance scoping

    RBI April 2023 cloud guidance cited per cloud finding

  • Regulatory framework

    MeitY data-localisation trace for every PII store

  • Local engagements

    BFSI multi-cloud engagements across Mumbai and Bengaluru

  • Local pricing

    INR SOW, per-account pricing, GST invoice

  • Compliance scoping

    DPDP Section 9 breach playbook updates included

Indian cloud security questions.

  • Do you cover the RBI cloud guidance for BFSI workloads?

    Yes. Region choice, exit plan, control plane access and shared-responsibility mapping are reviewed. The April 2023 guidance clauses cited per finding.

  • How is MeitY data localisation verified?

    We trace each PII store and backup target. Findings flag any cross-border replication and the exact MeitY rule it breaks.

  • Multi-cloud in scope?

    Yes. AWS, Azure, GCP and OCI in one engagement. The report tags findings by provider and by RBI clause.

  • What about DPDP Section 9 breach readiness?

    Cloud detection gaps are mapped to the 72-hour notification clock. Playbook updates supplied for your IR runbook.

Delivery in India

RBI cloud guidance. MeitY localisation evidence.

Cloud control plane tested against the April 2023 RBI cloud guidance and MeitY data-localisation rules. Region and residency choices reviewed per workload.
