# India Cybersecurity Readiness Assessment

> A structured, evidence-based response to today's exposure risks - not a generic warning.

A single disclosed vulnerability, leaked credential set or expiring certificate chain can affect an entire sector overnight. Rather than issue a generic warning, we run five focused, evidence-based activities to find out what's actually exploitable in your environment - exposed PHP deployments, forgotten subdomains, leaked credentials and API keys, affected certificate chains, and the incident-response gaps that turn a contained issue into a breach.

## Outcomes

- A prioritized, evidence-backed exposure report across all five risk areas
- Remediation guidance mapped to what's actually exploitable, not hypothetical risk
- A banking & financial-services add-on: payment API, transaction-authorization and regulatory review
- A readiness baseline you can re-run after the next industry-wide disclosure

## Process

01. **Scope** - Identify in-scope domains, applications, infrastructure and certificate inventory.
02. **Assess** - Run all five readiness activities across your environment.
03. **Report** - Evidence-backed findings, severity-rated and mapped to real exploitability.
04. **Remediate** - Prioritized fixes and a re-test to confirm closure.

## Deliverables

- Readiness assessment report (5 risk areas)
- Evidence pack per finding
- Prioritized remediation roadmap
- Re-test confirmation

## Standards

OWASP, CERT-In, MITRE ATT&CK


## Overview

A single disclosed PHP vulnerability, a leaked credential dump or an affected certificate chain tends to hit an entire sector at once - and most organizations only find out they're exposed after someone else does. Rather than another generic advisory, this is a structured, evidence-based readiness check across the five places real incidents actually start.

For banking and financial-services clients, we extend the assessment with a dedicated review of payment APIs, transaction-authorization flows and the regulatory requirements (RBI, SEBI, PCI DSS) that apply to them.


## What we cover

### PHP Exposure Assessment
Identify vulnerable PHP deployments across client websites, applications and infrastructure.

### External Attack Surface Review
Identify exposed assets, vulnerable services, forgotten subdomains and publicly accessible management interfaces.

### Credential & API Security Assessment
Review exposed secrets, privileged access, API authentication and cloud permissions.

### Digital Certificate Security Review
Determine whether certificate chains are affected and plan necessary remediation.

### Incident Readiness Assessment
Evaluate detection capabilities, response procedures, logging, backup recovery and evidence preservation.


## FAQ

**Does this mean our organization is already compromised?**
No - this is a targeted assessment of relevant exposure, not a claim of compromise. Most organizations we assess have some exposure in one or more of these five areas; the goal is to find and close it before it's exploited.

**Do you cover banking and financial-services specifics?**
Yes - for banking and financial-services clients we add a dedicated review of payment APIs, transaction-authorization flows and applicable regulatory requirements (RBI, SEBI, PCI DSS) alongside the five core activities.
