Container security

Container Security Assessment

A container security assessment checks your Docker images, registries and container runtime settings. It finds vulnerable packages and secrets baked into images, containers running with too much privilege, and paths for an attacker to escape a container onto the host.

  • Manual, expert-led testing
  • CVSS-rated report with fixes
  • Retest after you fix
  • Written scope before work starts

Where container risk hides

Images often inherit hundreds of packages from base images, and secrets added during builds remain in earlier layers even after deletion. At runtime, privileged containers and mounted Docker sockets can give full host access.

What we check

  • Image vulnerability scanning
  • Secrets in image layers
  • Base image and Dockerfile practices
  • Privileged containers and capabilities
  • Mounted sockets and host paths
  • Registry access control

Requirements Indian businesses usually test for

In India, the trigger for a test is often regulatory. RBI expects regulated entities and their technology vendors to run periodic VAPT. SEBI's cybersecurity framework asks market intermediaries for regular testing. CERT-In directions require organisations to maintain security practices and report incidents. The Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act 2023 requires reasonable security safeguards for personal data.

Enterprise customers also ask vendors for a recent third-party pentest report during security reviews. We write reports so the same document can be shared with a regulator, an auditor or a customer's security team.

How the engagement runs

  1. 1. Scoping call (30 minutes)

    We agree targets, user roles, environments, testing windows and the compliance reason for the test.

  2. 2. Written scope and quote

    You get a scope document and an INR or USD quote based on the real size of the work.

  3. 3. Discovery and manual testing

    Automated tooling for coverage, then manual testing of authentication, access control and business logic.

  4. 4. Report

    Executive summary, CVSS-rated findings with evidence, reproduction steps and remediation guidance.

  5. 5. Retest

    Once your team ships fixes, we verify each finding and issue an updated report.

What the report contains

  • Executive summary for leadership, customers and auditors
  • Findings rated by CVSS severity with screenshots and request evidence
  • Step-by-step reproduction for your developers
  • Specific remediation guidance, not generic advice
  • Compliance mapping (ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS, RBI, SEBI, CERT-In guidelines) where relevant
  • Retest status showing which findings are open and closed
