Secure · Services
Cybersecurity at Fidova is led by technical practice: we test and review real systems — applications, cloud, infrastructure, and binaries — rather than assess security from a questionnaire. What the testing finds is then translated into the risk decisions, priorities, and controls leadership can actually act on, with each finding carrying a severity, the evidence behind it, and clear remediation. We are explicit about our limits: we are not a certification body and do not claim accreditations we do not hold, though we can produce the technical evidence an audit or certification requires. Scope and rules of engagement are agreed in writing before any testing begins. The connected view matters because a finding that never becomes an operating control, with an owner and evidence, has not reduced any risk — which is where our governance practice takes over.
In short
Fidova's cybersecurity practice provides risk-led security advisory and hands-on technical assurance across applications, cloud and infrastructure, and security operations. We test and review real systems first, then translate what we find into the risk decisions, priorities, and controls leadership can act on, rather than issuing a report that ends at the finding.

What we do
Review and test web, API, and Android application security, including authentication, authorisation, data handling, and business logic abuse. We go beyond automated scanning to the logic flaws that scanners miss, because those are where real compromises tend to begin. Findings are tied to concrete impact, so a team knows what to fix first and why.
Targeted testing of applications, infrastructure, and configurations, reported with clear severity, evidence, and remediation guidance. We agree targets, depth, and constraints up front, so the test answers a defined question rather than wandering. Each report pairs a decision-maker summary with the technical detail an engineer needs to act.
Deep technical analysis of binaries, samples, and suspicious behaviour when you need to understand what something actually does. We work from the artefact itself rather than its reputation, establishing behaviour, indicators, and exposure. The outcome is a factual account you can base an incident or design decision on.
Assess identity, network exposure, configuration, logging, and segregation against how your environment is genuinely operated. We review the environment as it runs, not as an idealised diagram, because that is where misconfiguration accumulates. The result is a prioritised view of exposure matched to how the environment is actually used.
Establish what is publicly exposed about your organisation, people, and infrastructure, and which threats are relevant rather than merely reported. We filter the noise down to what plausibly applies to you, so effort is not spent on threats that do not. The output is an exposure picture you can act on, not a feed to monitor.
Design security strategy, architecture, and operating practice proportionate to your risk, size, and obligations. We size the programme to what the organisation can genuinely operate, rather than to a maturity model it will never reach. The aim is security that holds as the organisation changes, not a one-off improvement that decays.
Sub-services
Each service below has its own page setting out the work, the deliverables and the questions buyers ask before starting.
VAPT combines automated vulnerability assessment with manual penetration testing to show what an attacker could actually achieve. The assessment finds the broad set of known weaknesses, and the testing establishes which of them are genuinely exploitable in your environment and what an intruder could reach as a result.
Web application security testing examines authentication, authorisation, business logic and data handling in your web applications. It goes beyond common injection patterns to the authorisation boundaries and workflow logic where the most damaging flaws usually hide.
Mobile application security testing examines the app on the device, the traffic it sends, and the backend APIs it depends on. It covers what the app stores and leaks locally as well as the server-side weaknesses that sit behind it, because the most serious issues are usually in the backend rather than the binary.
API security testing examines authentication, authorisation, input handling and rate controls across your interfaces. It focuses on the authorisation and data-access failures that dominate real API incidents rather than only surface-level input flaws.
Network security assessment examines exposure, segmentation and internal attack paths across your network estate. It establishes both what is reachable from the internet and how far an attacker could move once they had a foothold inside.
Cloud security assessment reviews identity, configuration, network and data exposure across your cloud accounts. It measures how the environment is actually configured against how it was meant to be, concentrating on the identity and exposure issues that cause most cloud incidents.
Infrastructure security audit reviews servers, endpoints, virtualisation and supporting services against a defensible baseline. It reports where the running estate has drifted from that baseline across patching, configuration, privileged access and backup protection, and what to do about it.
Red teaming simulates a realistic adversary against your organisation to test detection and response, not just vulnerabilities. It measures whether your defenders notice and react to a quiet, objective-driven intrusion, which a conventional penetration test is not designed to reveal.
Security architecture review assesses how a system or estate is designed to resist attack, ideally before the design is built. It identifies the trust boundaries, identity decisions and data-protection choices that determine security, while they are still cheap to change.
Secure code review examines source code for security flaws in authentication, authorisation, input handling and secret management. It combines manual review of the security-critical paths with tuned tooling, so that both subtle logic flaws and widespread patterns are caught.
A source code security assessment gives a structured verdict on the security quality of a codebase, often for diligence or acquisition. It judges the overall state and practice of the code, not only individual flaws, so a buyer or board can weigh the risk and the cost to put it right.
DevSecOps embeds security checks into the development pipeline so issues are found at commit rather than after release. It works only when the checks are tuned and their thresholds are ones engineers accept, because noisy gates are the first thing a team disables.
SOC and SIEM services design the logging, detection rules and analyst workflow that make security monitoring effective. The emphasis is on the detections that matter for your estate and a clear path from alert to action, rather than on collecting everything and hoping.
Managed detection and response provides continuous monitoring with the authority to contain threats when they appear. Its value depends on what the provider can actually see and is permitted to do, which is precisely what an advisory engagement makes explicit and holds to account.
Incident response and digital forensics contain an active security incident and establish what happened, from evidence rather than assumption. The work limits the damage while preserving the material needed to understand entry point, scope and impact defensibly.
Threat intelligence tells you which threats are actually relevant to your sector, technology and exposure, and what to do about them. It turns the general noise about cyber threats into an assessment specific enough to drive control, detection and awareness decisions.
Malware analysis and reverse engineering establish what a malicious sample does, what it touched and how to detect it. The work produces the behaviour, indicators and capability evidence that an incident decision can rest on, rather than relying on a vendor label alone.
Active Directory security assessment finds the privilege escalation and lateral movement paths that lead to domain compromise. In most incidents these paths are the route from one compromised laptop to the entire estate, which is why they warrant specific, focused attention.
Configuration and hardening review compares system settings against a secure baseline and reports the deviations that matter. It distinguishes the configuration gaps that create real, exploitable risk from the cosmetic ones a raw benchmark score would treat as equal.
Security monitoring is the continuous collection and review of the signals that reveal attacks in progress. Done well it collects the sources that genuinely matter, raises alerts people trust, and connects each alert to a defined response.
Security risk assessment and compliance work identifies your real security risks and the obligations you must evidence. It brings both into a single picture, so that security investment and the evidence you owe customers, insurers and auditors are driven by the same assessment.
ISO 27001 consulting prepares an information security management system for certification, from scope definition through to internal audit. It establishes a system that is genuinely operated rather than one that exists only on paper, which is what an external auditor looks for.
PCI DSS assessment support prepares your cardholder data environment for assessment and reduces the scope you have to defend. The single most effective lever is usually scope reduction, because systems that never touch card data fall outside the requirements entirely.
Cybersecurity awareness and training builds practical judgement in staff, developers and leadership, measured by behaviour rather than completion rates. The aim is that people recognise and report a threat when it reaches them, not that they have clicked through an annual module.
What you receive
Every engagement produces documented output your teams keep and can act on without us in the room.
When this work helps
How an engagement runs
Understand what matters most, the obligations in play, and what the organisation is genuinely trying to protect. We agree scope and rules of engagement in writing here, so testing is bounded and authorised before it begins.
Test and review the systems in scope, and establish real exposure rather than theoretical risk. We gather evidence for every finding, so severity reflects what we demonstrated rather than what is merely conceivable.
Prioritise remediation, control improvements, and architecture changes against risk and effort. We sequence the work so the exposures that matter most are closed first, within what the team can realistically do.
Support remediation, retest what was fixed, and help the practice hold as the environment changes. We confirm fixes actually closed the issue, rather than taking remediation on trust.
Where we work
Fidova delivers cybersecurity consulting and technical assurance from Delhi, India, and works with clients internationally; testing and review are performed remotely against your environments, with on-site work arranged when scope requires it.
Engagements run in English, are scheduled around your time zone, and can be delivered remotely end to end. Where a phase benefits from being in the room — discovery workshops, go-live support, or on-site review — we plan that time explicitly.
