Web Security Consulting

Secure your website before attackers find it first.

Most breaches don't hit big enterprises — they hit websites that shipped fast and never got a second pair of eyes on their security. Outrank Startups offers web security consulting and support at minimal cost, built for founders who can't yet afford a full-time security team.

Services We Offer

🔍

Vulnerability Assessment / Security Audit

Scanning and testing your website for security holes — outdated plugins, misconfigured servers, exposed admin panels — before an attacker finds them first.

🎯

Penetration Testing

Ethically hacking your own site to find real, exploitable weaknesses — the same techniques attackers use, run on your side instead.

🕵️

Compromise Assessment

Not sure if you've already been breached? We check for signs of a compromise that's gone unnoticed — hidden backdoors, unauthorized admin accounts, unusual outbound traffic — even when nothing looks obviously wrong.

🛡️

WAF Implementation

Setting up a Web Application Firewall (such as Cloudflare) to filter out malicious traffic before it ever reaches your server.

🧯

DFIR — Digital Forensics & Incident Response

The full incident-response lifecycle: preparing tools and protocols in advance, detecting and scoping a breach in progress, containing and removing the attacker, then a post-incident report with the lessons that prevent a repeat.

📡

Security Monitoring

Ongoing watch over your website for the early warning signs — logins from odd locations, unexpected file changes, traffic spikes — so an attack gets caught in hours, not discovered months later.

The Wake-Up Call for Indian Startups

Cybersecurity was ranked India's #1 national risk by the World Economic Forum's 2026 Global Risk Report. These aren't hypotheticals — they're real, publicly reported breaches at private Indian companies and startups, not government portals. Misconfigured cloud storage, vulnerable CMS platforms, and unauthenticated APIs are the most common way a private company's website actually gets breached — not sophisticated nation-state hacking.

Cloud Misconfiguration

Angel One — Unsecured Cloud Storage (2026)

Attackers reportedly gained access to an unsecured AWS storage bucket at Angel One, one of India's largest broking platforms, exposing trading details, emails, and customer IDs for an estimated 7.9 million users — a basic infrastructure misconfiguration, not a sophisticated hack.

CMS Vulnerability

Hathway — CMS Vulnerability Exploited (March 2024)

A critical vulnerability in the content management system behind Hathway's website, a major Indian ISP, was allegedly exploited to leak the personal and billing details of over 41.5 million customers — exactly the class of issue a security audit exists to catch.

Reported by The Cyber Express

API Vulnerability

DavaIndia Pharmacy — Unauthenticated Admin API (2026)

A security researcher found that DavaIndia's website let anyone create a full "super admin" account with no authentication at all, exposing order and pharmacist data across 883 stores. It was responsibly disclosed and patched before any known exploitation — proof that finding holes like this first is exactly the point of a security audit.

Database Breach

boAt — Customer Database Breach (February 2024)

A breach at boAt, one of India's most popular D2C consumer electronics brands, exposed the names, addresses, phone numbers, and purchase history of over 7.5 million customers — a reminder that a growing startup's database is a target long before it becomes a household name.
