Kubernetes Security Assessment
A Kubernetes security assessment reviews how your cluster is configured and tests whether a compromised pod could take over the cluster or reach cloud resources. It covers RBAC, pod security, network policies, secrets handling and the control plane, against CIS Kubernetes Benchmarks.
- Manual, expert-led testing
- CVSS-rated report with fixes
- Retest after you fix
- Written scope before work starts

One pod to the whole cluster
Default Kubernetes settings are permissive. A single compromised pod with a powerful service account or no network policy can often read secrets from other namespaces or reach the cloud metadata service.
What we review
- RBAC roles and service account tokens
- Pod security standards
- Network policies
- Secrets management
- API server and kubelet exposure
- Cloud IAM integration (IRSA, Workload Identity)
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. Scoping call (30 minutes)
We agree targets, user roles, environments, testing windows and the compliance reason for the test.
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. Discovery and manual testing
Automated tooling for coverage, then manual testing of authentication, access control and business logic.
4. Report
Executive summary, CVSS-rated findings with evidence, reproduction steps and remediation guidance.
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
Certifications our testers hold
Every engagement is led by a certified senior tester.
Frequently asked questions
Do you support managed clusters?
Yes: EKS, AKS, GKE and self-managed clusters.
How much does it cost?
Price depends on the number of targets, user roles and depth of manual testing. Use the VAPT cost estimator for an INR range, or book a call for a written quote.
