We help businesses across multiple industries build scalable,
secure and future-ready digital products. Our team combines
deep technical expertise with industry knowledge to deliver
custom software solutions that drive growth.
We break into your web apps, APIs, mobile apps and cloud accounts (with your written permission, of course) so that a real attacker can't. When we find a hole, we show your developers exactly how we got in and what to change. No 200-page scanner dump.
Almost nobody books a pen test just for fun. It's usually one of these.
A customer asked for a pen test report
Bigger clients send a security questionnaire before they sign. Somewhere around question twelve: "Have you had an independent penetration test in the past 12 months?" A "no" can stall the deal for weeks.
An audit or compliance deadline
ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS, HIPAA. They all expect regular security testing, and the auditor will want two things: the report, and proof you fixed what it found.
A big release or a recent scare
Maybe you're launching payments or opening up a public API. Or something odd turned up in the logs last month and people are nervous. Either way, an outside pair of eyes before go-live is cheap insurance.

What is the difference between a vulnerability assessment and a penetration test?
You'll often see them bundled as VAPT (vulnerability assessment and penetration testing). They're related, but they aren't the same thing, and mixing them up is how companies end up paying for a scan when they needed a real test.
Vulnerability assessment
Mostly automated. Scanners sweep your systems and flag known problems: old software versions, missing patches, settings left on default. It's fast and wide, and worth running often, but it can't tell you what an attacker could actually do with those findings.
Answers
What weaknesses might we have?
Penetration testing
Mostly manual, and much slower. A tester takes those weak spots and actually tries them. Small issues get chained together. Sometimes a "low" finding turns out to be the first step to the customer database. That's the part a scanner never shows you.
Answers
What could someone really do with them?
Application security testing services
Our application security testing services
Book one, or bundle a few. Whatever you pick, you get a written report at the end, and we come back to retest the issues you fix at no extra charge.
01
Web application penetration testing
Logins, search boxes, file uploads, checkout, the admin panel nobody remembers is public. As a web application penetration testing company, these are the first places we poke, because they're the first places attackers do.
02
Manual penetration testing by certified testers
A scanner won't notice that your coupon code can be applied twice, or that a refund can exceed the order total. People notice that. Our testers hold [OSCP, CEH or your team's certifications] and do most of their work by hand.
03
Vulnerability assessment services with continuous scanning
Full tests happen once or twice a year, but new vulnerabilities get published every week. Scheduled scans fill that gap. We sort through what they flag, throw out the false alarms and only bother you with what's real.
04
API security testing: schema validation, rate limiting, payload abuse
APIs tend to trust whatever they're sent. Our API penetration testing services check what happens when someone sends malformed data, hammers an endpoint thousands of times a minute, or asks for fields the app never displays.
05
Authentication and session testing
How do people sign in, reset a password, stay logged in? Each step is a chance to get it wrong. Weak session management in particular can hand an account to someone who never knew the password.
06
Authorization and access control testing
Can an ordinary user open the admin page just by typing the URL? Can customer A see customer B's orders? Broken access control is one of the most common serious problems we find, and it's usually simple to fix once you know it's there.
07
OWASP Top 10 and ASVS validation
Each test is mapped to the OWASP Top 10. If you need deeper assurance, for a bank or a large enterprise buyer, say, we test against the relevant level of the OWASP ASVS as well.
08
Secure code review
This is white-box testing, where we get your source code. Static analysis tools do the first pass. Then a person reads the sensitive bits line by line: login, payments, permission checks.
09
Dependency and third-party library scanning
A typical app is mostly other people's code: frameworks, packages, plugins. We check all of it against known vulnerability databases and tell you which updates can wait and which can't.
10
Mobile application penetration testing services
Android and iOS apps get checked for data saved in plain text on the phone, API keys baked into the app, weak encryption, and traffic that could be read on public Wi-Fi.
11
Cloud security assessment and penetration testing
On AWS, Azure or Google Cloud, the usual problem isn't a clever exploit. It's a storage bucket left public, or an admin role given to the wrong account. We review the configuration, then test what's reachable from the internet.
12
Compliance-mapped security testing
Doing this for an audit? We'll map each finding to the controls in your standard, which saves your auditor (and you) a lot of back-and-forth.
Penetration testing process
How a penetration test with Softfix works
Ethical hacking is still hacking, so the rules get agreed before anyone touches a keyboard. Here's how an engagement runs.
STEP 1
Scope and permission
What's in scope, what isn't, which dates, which test accounts, and who we call at 2 am if we find something critical. All of it in writing.
STEP 2
Discovery and scanning
We map out the application and run scans to get a long list of places worth a closer look.
STEP 3
Manual testing
This is most of the work. Testers go through the list by hand, with Burp Suite, Metasploit and similar tools when they help, and confirm every issue before it goes in the report.
STEP 4
Report and walkthrough
You get the report, then we get on a call with your developers and walk through it. Questions are welcome; that's the whole point of the call.
STEP 5
Fix and retest
Your team fixes things. We test those issues again and reissue the report showing what's closed.
VAPT report
What does a VAPT report include?
Plenty of pen test reports end up unread in a shared drive. We try hard to avoid that. The front is written for leadership, the back for the people who'll do the fixing.
VAPT report
Front written for leadership, back for the people who'll do the fixing
01
Executive summary
One page, no jargon. What we tested, what we found, how worried to be.
02
Risk rating for each finding
Critical, high, medium or low. We weigh how easy the issue is to exploit against how much harm it could do.
03
Proof of concept
The exact steps, requests and screenshots, so a developer can reproduce it in a few minutes.
04
How to fix it
Advice written for your stack. If you run Laravel, you get Laravel advice, not text pasted from a scanner.
05
Remediation retest results
After the retest we reissue the report with closed issues marked. This is normally the copy auditors and customers ask for.
An hour or two of prep on your side saves days on ours. Ideally, before we start, you'll have:
A list of the apps, APIs and environments in scope
Test accounts for each user role, such as customer and admin
A staging environment that matches production, if possible
API documentation or a Postman collection
A named contact on your side during the testing window
Your monitoring team informed, so our traffic doesn't cause alarm
Frequency
How often should a penetration test be done?
Once a year is the usual minimum, and many standards ask for exactly that. But a big change is a good reason to test again, such as:
A new login or payment system
A new public API or mobile app
A move to a different cloud setup
A large redesign of the application
In between, continuous scanning keeps an eye out for anything new.
Who we work with
Who we work with
Healthcare
Healthcare
Patient portals, telehealth apps, lab systems. Penetration testing for healthcare means paying close attention to where health records live and who can reach them. For HIPAA, we map findings to the Security Rule safeguards.
Software
Software companies
Our secure code review services for software companies slot into your release cycle. Better to catch an injection flaw in a pull request than in a breach notice.
Fintech
Fintech and eCommerce
Wallets, payment flows, customer accounts: places where a bug turns straight into lost money. We also help pull together evidence for PCI DSS.
SaaS
SaaS selling to enterprises
Enterprise buyers keep asking for your latest pen test? A yearly test with a clean retest report answers that before procurement even asks.
Pricing
How much does penetration testing cost?
Honestly, it depends on size. A small app with two user roles is a few days' work; a platform with dozens of APIs is a lot more. After a short scoping call we send a fixed price, and that's the price you pay.
Single application test
₹35,000
fixed
One web app or one API, tested properly, with the report and a free retest.
Most Popular

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a vulnerability assessment and a penetration test?
Think of a vulnerability assessment as walking around a building and noting every door that looks unlocked. A penetration test is actually trying the handles, then seeing how far inside you can get. The assessment is quicker and broader. The pen test is slower, but it shows real impact, which is usually what boards and auditors want to know.
How much does penetration testing cost?
Mostly on how much there is to test. A brochure site with a contact form and a banking platform with a mobile app and forty APIs are very different jobs. We'll ask a handful of questions on a scoping call, then send a fixed price. The report and one retest are included, so nothing gets added later.
How often should a penetration test be done?
Once a year is the baseline for most companies. On top of that, test again after anything big: a new payment system, a public API, a move to a new cloud provider. Some standards set their own schedule, so check yours. Scanning in between costs little and catches a lot.
How should I prepare for a penetration test?
Decide what's in scope first. Then set up test accounts for every type of user (customer, manager, admin and so on) and send over whatever API documentation you have. A staging copy of production is ideal. Last thing: tell your monitoring team the dates, because otherwise our traffic can look a lot like a real attack.
What does a VAPT report include?
It opens with a short executive summary for management. Then every finding gets its own page: a risk rating, a proof of concept showing exactly how we did it, and the steps to fix it. After your team makes the fixes, we retest and send an updated version. That's the one people usually share with auditors and customers.
Will a penetration test affect our live systems?
We work hard to make sure it doesn't. Staging is our first choice. If production has to be tested, we agree on time windows with you, stay away from anything that could delete data or knock a server over, and stop immediately if something looks wrong.
Do you offer penetration testing for HIPAA compliance?
Yes. We test the systems that store or move health information and map what we find to the HIPAA Security Rule safeguards. One honest caveat: a pen test supports compliance, it doesn't give it to you on its own. We're happy to explain where it fits with the rest of your controls.
Can you test our APIs, mobile apps and cloud setup as well?
Yes, and we'd usually recommend it. A lot of real problems sit in the gaps. The web app checks permissions, say, but the API behind it doesn't, and the mobile app talks straight to that API. Testing each piece separately can miss exactly that.
Tell us what you want tested, and why. On a free 30-minute call, one of our security testers will suggest the right kind of test and give you a fixed price.
