Shastra

Penetration Testing

Validate your defenses with real-world attack simulation.

Shastra delivers manual penetration testing by experienced security professionals — simulating real attacker techniques to validate whether your controls actually work. Unlike automated scans, penetration testing finds chained vulnerabilities that scanners miss.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is penetration testing different from a vulnerability scan?

A vulnerability scan is automated and finds known weaknesses. Penetration testing is manual — our security professionals actively try to exploit vulnerabilities, chain them together, and escalate access just like a real attacker would.

Will penetration testing disrupt our systems?

We agree on scope and rules of engagement before starting. Testing is conducted carefully to avoid unplanned disruptions. We can also schedule testing during low-activity periods.

Who should commission a penetration test?

Organizations handling sensitive data, running web applications, meeting compliance requirements (ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, CERT-In), or wanting to validate their security posture before an incident happens.
