I need a CERT-In-empanelled information security auditing organisation to carry out a full Vulnerability Assessment, Penetration Testing, and compliance audit on one of our customer-facing web applications WITH CERTIFICATE. The application is live, and processes personal data of Indian residents, so every test and report must align with CERT-In guidelines as well as the latest OWASP Top 10. Scope of work • Map the entire attack surface of the site, including APIs and third-party integrations, then perform an exhaustive VA/PT cycle. • Document every finding with evidence, severity rating, and clear remediation steps; re-test once fixes are applied and confirm closure. • Produce a final compliance report that I can submit directly to stakeholders and regulators; it must carry your organisation’s empanelment reference. I’m still deciding whether ongoing monitoring is necessary, so please outline options for continuous scanning or managed SOC if you offer them. Provide an estimated timeline and the specific tools or frameworks you typically use (Burp Suite, Nessus, Kali, etc.) so I can coordinate downtime if required. The engagement starts as soon as we sign an NDA, and payment will be released in two milestones—draft report and final sign-off.

Hi, Get your live application VAPT-ready for CERT-In submission with a certified, regulator-ready security report. Since the application is live and handles Indian residents’ personal data, I understand the need for a controlled assessment aligned with CERT-In requirements and the latest OWASP Top 10. I can cover the full attack surface, including web application endpoints, APIs, authentication, authorization, and relevant third-party integrations. My approach includes:- - Full VA/PT using Burp Suite, Nessus, Nmap, Kali Linux, and OWASP-aligned testing techniques. - Evidence-backed findings with severity, business impact, and practical remediation steps. - Re-testing after remediation with closure confirmation. - Final stakeholder/regulator-ready report with the required certificate and organisation empanelment reference. I can also outline options for continuous vulnerability scanning and managed SOC monitoring if ongoing security coverage is required. The assessment can begin after NDA execution, with reporting structured around your two milestones: draft report and final sign-off. Best Regards Sahil D.

?IF YOU'RE NOT HAPPY, YOU DON'T PAY.? Recently, we assisted a client in enhancing their web application's security and compliance, ensuring it met all necessary standards without overwhelming them in the process. We will help you achieve a thorough vulnerability assessment and penetration testing that aligns with CERT-In guidelines and the latest OWASP Top 10. I noticed you require a clean and professional compliance report that documents every finding clearly, along with remediation steps and severity ratings. I have extensive experience in security audits and compliance assessments outside of Freelancer, but I am new to Freelancer. My expertise includes using tools like Burp Suite and Nessus, ensuring a thorough evaluation of your application. I look forward to helping you secure your application effectively. Regards, MORNE.

As a full stack developer with an extensive background in internet security, testing and QA, I'm uniquely equipped to handle the stringent requirements of this project. Having hands-on experience in developing scalable web applications and AI automation systems for over 4 years, I have an in-depth understanding of how data is processed and the associated vulnerabilities that can arise, particularly when it comes to web applications hosting personal data. Additionally, my skills extend beyond just auditing to ongoing monitoring and security optimization. I can help you decide on the need for continuous scanning or managed SOC, providing a holistic approach to security management. My previous experience working with SaaS products enables me to provide you with a final report carrying detailed findings, supporting evidence, severity rating, as well as clear remediation steps in compliance with CERT-In standards. Notably, my ability to connect fragmented tools and systems into unified platforms was developed during my time building scalable backend architectures – a skill invaluable in performing third-party integrations underpinning your web application. If you’re looking not just for thoroughness but also long-term solutions, let’s discuss how my skills and experience can help fortify your customer-facing web application against potential threats.

The empanelment reference on your final report is the one thing I can't give you: I'm an independent engineer, not a CERT-In empanelled organisation, so the certificate itself has to come from a firm that is. What I can do is the technical work underneath it. I'd map the attack surface, APIs and third-party integrations included, test it against the OWASP Top 10, write each finding up with evidence, a CVSS score and a concrete fix, then retest once you've patched and confirm closure. The empanelled auditor then gets a remediated application to certify. That's backed by eight years of software engineering with web application penetration testing and security audits as part of it, including a role analyzing vulnerabilities in widely used open source Python packages, so I cover the code side as well as the black-box side. Do you already have an empanelled firm lined up for the certificate, or do you want the technical audit done first so their scope is smaller? Thamer

Hello, Your requirement for a CERT-In-empanelled VA/PT and compliance audit is clear, especially the need for a report that can be submitted to stakeholders/regulators and includes the organisation’s empanelment reference. The key challenge is not just finding vulnerabilities, but producing defensible evidence, severity ratings, remediation guidance, and re-test closure across the full web application, APIs, and third-party integrations while keeping the live environment safe. For this engagement, I would structure the assessment around • Full attack surface and API discovery • Manual automated VA/PT aligned with the latest OWASP Top 10 and relevant CERT-In requirements • Evidence backed findings with risk/severity and remediation guidance • Controlled validation of fixes and final closure report • Compliance-focused documentation suitable for stakeholder/regulatory review Typical tooling can include Burp Suite, Nessus, Nmap, Kali Linux and API/security testing tools, with testing intensity coordinated around your production constraints. I can also outline continuous vulnerability scanning and managed SOC options separately if required. Before starting, I’d confirm the application scope, API inventory, authentication flows, production testing restrictions, and the exact CERT-In empanelment/certificate requirement. What is the approximate number of domains, APIs, and authenticated user roles in scope?

Hi, I’m a Software Engineer with 4+ years of experience and a strong focus on penetration testing, web security, and API security. I can assess your application for common and high-impact vulnerabilities such as authentication issues, authorization flaws, injection risks, insecure APIs, misconfigurations, and exposed services. I work with tools including Burp Suite, Nmap, Metasploit, and Kali Linux, combined with manual testing rather than relying only on automated scanners. You will receive a clear professional report including: * Vulnerability description * Severity and potential impact * Evidence and reproduction steps * Recommended fixes and remediation guidance I’m also happy to discuss the scope before starting so the testing stays focused on your requirements and authorized targets.
