VAPT for RBI / PCI-DSS
VAPT engineered to satisfy RBI and PCI-DSS in one engagement.
Regulator-grade VAPT for RBI-regulated entities and PCI-DSS scope environments. Our reports are accepted by RBI inspectors, PCI QSAs and Big-4 audit firms without rework.
- RBI Cyber Security Framework — VAPT requirements
- PCI-DSS v4.0 Requirement 11.3 (Pen testing) + 11.2 (Vulnerability scanning)
- PCI ASV scanning (when in scope)
- SEBI CSCRF VAPT requirements
Compliance is leverage, not paperwork.
RBI and PCI-DSS both require regular VAPT — but with very different reporting expectations. Macksofy delivers a single engagement that satisfies both: CERT-In format for RBI submission, PCI 6.5 + 11.3 evidence for QSA review.
- Banks, NBFCs, payment aggregators (RBI scope)
- Merchants and processors handling card data (PCI scope)
- Issuing / acquiring banks
- Wallet operators
- Stock brokers facing SEBI VAPT requirement (similar)
Aligned to the regulations that matter.
How we run a RBI + PCI VAPT engagement.
Interactive walkthrough — every phase clickable, every activity documented, every artefact regulator-ready.
1 · Scoping per framework
- RBI: Critical Information Infrastructure scope
- PCI: CDE (Cardholder Data Environment) scope + segmentation validation
- Combined asset inventory
Everything you need to satisfy auditors.
- RBI-format VAPT report (CERT-In aligned)
- PCI-DSS 11.3 evidence pack
- ASV scan report (where applicable)
- Network segmentation validation
- Free retest within 30 days
- QSA / RBI inspection support
Annual VAPT covering RBI + PCI scope
Outcome: Single engagement satisfied both regulators; saved 6 weeks vs sequential
The shape of a RBI + PCI VAPT engagement.
Every number below is grounded in how Macksofy actually runs the engagement — not aspirational marketing copy.
What we actually examine.
Each pillar is a distinct workstream inside the engagement — scoped, evidenced, and signed off independently before the audit pack is assembled.
- Scoping & threat profile3 pts
- External + internal VAPT3 pts
- Mobile / API / cloud3 pts
- Regulator-format reporting3 pts
- Remediation & retest3 pts
- Continuous-monitoring uplift3 pts
The wrong scope will make a regulator-compliant VAPT useless. We get this right first.
- Regulator-aligned asset enumeration
- Threat-actor profile for your sector
- Rules of engagement + auth letter
Both halves matter — the regulator will ask for both.
- External perimeter + internet-facing apps
- Internal AD + segmented-zone testing
- Wireless + physical entry-point review
Modern attack surface — where most legacy VAPT vendors fall short.
- Mobile (Android + iOS) deep review
- REST / GraphQL API security testing
- Cloud config + IAM blast-radius review
Reports that satisfy CERT-In, RBI, SEBI, IRDAI, PCI — without rework.
- CERT-In format master report
- Regulator-specific control mapping
- Board + technical + auditor packs
Findings without a closure path aren't really findings.
- Per-finding remediation guidance
- Free 30-day retest of High/Critical
- Closure letter accepted by regulators
Year-1 VAPT findings should seed year-2 detection engineering.
- Detection use-cases from findings
- Vulnerability KPI/KRI dashboard
- Annual retest cadence + scoping refresh

“We've worked with three Big 4 firms before Macksofy. None found what their team did in our payments stack. The most actionable report we've received in a decade.”
“The CHFI training Macksofy delivered for our cyber cell raised investigation quality measurably. Practical, India-context-aware, and respectful of our operational realities.”
“Came in with zero security background. 5 weeks later I was running Burp Suite and Metasploit confidently. Cleared CEH on the first attempt.”
