Sentinelwares
Beyond defence. Toward resilience.

Find the vulnerability
before someone else does

Sentinelwares runs offensive security testing and continuous attack surface monitoring for teams that would rather hear about a flaw from us than from an attacker. Every finding is proven by hand, rated by real business impact, and written so your engineers can fix it.

The problem

Most breaches start somewhere nobody was looking

Attack surfaces expand quietly. A contractor registers a subdomain, a team ships a staging environment to hit a deadline, a debug endpoint stays enabled after launch. None of it appears in an asset inventory, and all of it is reachable from the public internet.

Meanwhile the tooling most organisations rely on reports what it can pattern-match. It cannot tell you that a user in one tenant can read another tenant's invoices, or that a discount code can be replayed indefinitely, because those flaws live in business logic rather than in a signature.

The gap between what your scanner reports and what an attacker can actually reach is where incidents happen. Closing it takes people who test the way attackers do.

Services

Six ways we test what you have built

Engagements are scoped individually and often combined. Most clients start with a single assessment and add continuous coverage once the first report lands.

Web Application Penetration Testing

Manual, exploit-verified testing across the OWASP Top 10 and your own business logic.

  • OWASP Top 10 and business logic flaws
  • Authentication and access control testing
  • Exploit validation with risk rating
  • Developer-ready remediation guidance

SAST – Static Application Security Testing

Source-level analysis wired into your pipeline, so flaws never reach a release branch.

  • Source analysis across multiple languages
  • CI/CD pipeline integration
  • Early detection of insecure patterns
  • Automated security gate checks
Read more

DAST – Dynamic Application Security Testing

Authenticated scanning against the running system, including multi-step flows and APIs.

  • Automated and authenticated scanning

How it works

A six-step engagement, start to closure

The same process runs on every engagement, whether it is a single application or a full external estate.

01

Scoping and threat modelling

We map your attack surface and agree which assets matter most before any testing begins.

02

Reconnaissance and scanning

Automated discovery establishes the baseline: hosts, endpoints, versions, and known issues.

03

Manual exploitation

Our testers work by hand through the logic, authorisation, and chained flaws no scanner reaches.

04

Risk prioritisation

Each confirmed finding is rated by exploitability and by what it would actually cost your business.

05

Report and fix guidance

You get reproduction steps, the vulnerable request, and a remediation path written for your stack.

06

Retest and closure

Once fixes land we verify each one and reissue the report, so you have clean evidence to share.

No false positivesExploit-verified findings onlyRetest included as standard

Engagement models

Work with us the way that fits

Three shapes of engagement. Which one is right usually becomes obvious during scoping, and moving between them later is straightforward.

Point-in-time assessment

A scoped penetration test with a fixed price and a fixed window. The right fit for a release, an audit deadline, or a customer security review.

  • Fixed scope and price
  • 5–10 working days
  • Attestation letter included
  • Free retest within 90 days
Most common

Continuous programme

Testing that runs alongside your release cadence, combining scheduled assessments with always-on attack surface monitoring.

  • Quarterly manual testing
  • Continuous ASM coverage
  • Pipeline-integrated scanning
  • Named assessor throughout

Embedded advisory

Our team works inside yours: threat modelling new features, reviewing architecture, and triaging findings alongside your engineers.

  • Design and architecture review
  • Threat modelling workshops
  • Developer enablement
  • Findings triage support

Standards

Testing that maps to what auditors ask for

Findings are tagged against the frameworks you report on, so evidence gathering does not become a second project.

OWASP Top 10

Full coverage of the critical web application risk categories.

OWASP ASVS

Testing depth mapped to verification levels 1 through 3.

ISO 27001

Evidence formatted for your information security management system.

PCI-DSS

Requirement 11 testing for cardholder data environments.

SOC 2

Attestation letters accepted by auditors and enterprise buyers.

GDPR

Data exposure findings framed against processing obligations.

These are the frameworks our testing methodology and reporting map to. They describe the standards we test against, not certifications held by Sentinelwares.

Why us

What working with us is actually like

Findings you can act on

Everything in your report was reproduced by hand. No scanner output pasted in, no theoretical severity, nothing your engineers will spend a sprint disproving.

The same people throughout

You get a named assessor who scopes the work, runs the test, and answers your team's questions afterwards. Nothing is handed to a delivery pool.

Priced for growing teams

Fixed-price engagements with no per-seat licensing and no minimum commitment, so security testing is not something you defer until after the raise.

Written to be read

Reports open with a summary a board can follow, then go as deep as your engineers need. Both audiences are served by the same document.

Fast to start

Scoping usually takes one call. Most engagements begin within two weeks, and urgent work can start sooner when a deadline demands it.

Continuous where it counts

Annual testing leaves eleven months uncovered. Our attack surface monitoring watches what changes between assessments and tells you when it does.

About

Who we are

Sentinelwares is a security testing practice based in Bengaluru. We are testers and engineers rather than a reseller with a scanner licence, and the people who scope your engagement are the people who run it.

We work mostly with small and mid-sized companies: teams shipping quickly, often ahead of a first enterprise customer or a compliance deadline, who need a clear answer about where they stand rather than a three-hundred-page export nobody will read.

Our aim is that a report from us leaves your team with less uncertainty than it had before — a ranked list of what is genuinely wrong, what it would cost you, and what to do about it first.

Client stories

What clients say

“They found an authorisation flaw in our billing flow that three previous vendors had missed entirely. The write-up was clear enough that our engineers shipped a fix the same week.”

Sarah Johnson

CTO, TechWave Solutions

“We came to them mid-incident. They triaged with us over a weekend, scoped the exposure precisely, and then stayed on to make sure the underlying issue was actually closed.”

Rajesh Kumar

Head of IT, FinSecure Inc.

“The attack surface monitoring surfaced a forgotten staging environment with a live database behind it. That single finding paid for the engagement several times over.”

Emily Chen

CEO, GreenLeaf Startups

Questions

Before you get in touch

How quickly can you start?

Scoping normally takes a single call. Most engagements begin within two weeks of that call, and we can usually move faster where a compliance or customer deadline requires it.

How do you price engagements?

Fixed price, agreed after scoping. Cost depends on the number of applications, user roles, and integrations in scope — not on headcount or seat licences.

Do we need to prepare anything first?

Test accounts for each user role, access to a staging environment, and a technical contact who can answer questions during the engagement. We handle everything else.

What happens after the report?

We walk your team through the findings, stay available for remediation questions, and retest every fixed issue at no additional cost within 90 days.

Can you sign an NDA?

Yes, as standard, before any scoping discussion. We can work under your paper or ours, and all findings and client identities stay confidential unless you tell us otherwise.
