What do you do, and what do you actually get?

Six services cover the overwhelming majority of what people call us for. Each one has a defined scope, a stated price band, and a delivery date you can put in a plan. You are not buying hours; you are buying a finding, a fix, and proof that the fix held.

VAPT & Penetration Testing

Authorised vulnerability assessment and penetration testing for web, mobile, API and network.

₹45,000 – ₹3,50,000 depending on scope and number of assets

Hire an Ethical Hacker

Authorised ethical hacking for Indian businesses, handled as a scoped, signed engagement.

₹12,000 to ₹30,000 per tester-day, quoted after scoping

AI-Driven Ethical Hacking

AI-assisted testing for broad coverage, with certified human testers doing the exploitation and signing off.

₹12,000 to ₹30,000 per tester-day, quoted after scoping

Web Application Security

Web app testing that reads like a breach report, not a scanner dump.

₹45,000 – ₹2,50,000

Mobile App Security Testing

iOS and Android testing of the app binary, the API behind it, and the data it stores.

₹60,000 – ₹2,50,000

API Security Testing

Where most modern breaches actually happen, and where most scanners never look.

₹50,000 – ₹2,00,000

Network Penetration Testing

Internal network, external perimeter, firewall and segmentation testing.

₹75,000 – ₹3,00,000

Cloud Security Assessment

₹80,000 – ₹3,50,000

Incident Response & Retainer

24/7 help when something is already happening — and a retainer to stop it happening.

₹1,50,000 – ₹9,00,000 per year, or per-incident from ₹35,000

Ransomware Recovery & File Unlock

When files are encrypted, the priority is containment first and recovery second.

₹40,000 – ₹5,00,000 depending on estate size and encryption type

Website Malware Removal

Blacklisted, defaced, injecting spam, or sending phishing mail from your server.

₹15,000 – ₹75,000

Deepfake & AI Abuse Protection

Detection, takedown and monitoring for AI face swaps, voice clones and impersonation accounts.

₹25,000 – ₹4,00,000 for a monitoring retainer

Why is the work defensible?

A penetration test that only finds what an automated scanner finds is not a penetration test. It is a subscription. The parts of this job that matter are the judgement calls: which finding actually matters to your business, which one is a false positive, and what the attacker would do next. That is why every engagement is signed off by a named analyst and every finding carries a business-impact note, not just a CVSS number.

Who do you work with?

The same technical skills apply everywhere, but the risk you are actually managing depends on what you do. These pages set out what matters in your situation rather than repeating the same service description with a different name on it.

What is your coverage across India?

Most engagements are delivered remotely. On-site work is scheduled where the engagement needs physical access, a formal kickoff with your team, or a site survey.

What does "ethical" mean in practice?

The word is used loosely in this industry, so it is worth being precise about our position. AAVETech works only on systems a client owns or has given us explicit written permission to test, and only inside the signed scope and time window. We do not sell access to accounts, devices or systems that a person does not own or control. We do not help monitor a partner's phone without their informed consent, and we do not assist with unauthorised access under any framing.

That is not a marketing position, it is a legal and practical one. Work done without authorisation is a criminal offence under the Information Technology Act, 2000, and it is also the fastest way for a client to end up in a legal problem rather than a security one. Read the authorisation and rules of engagement page for the detail.

What questions do you get asked?

What does AAVETech do?
AAVETech is an AI-assisted ethical hacking and cyber security firm in Kochi, Kerala, founded in 2022. We run authorised penetration tests and vulnerability assessments, 24/7 incident response, ransomware recovery, deepfake and AI-abuse takedowns, digital forensics, account recovery and security awareness training, for individuals, small businesses and enterprises across India.
Do you only work with large companies?
No. A meaningful share of our work is for individuals and small businesses who cannot buy a six-week consulting engagement. The difference is scope and price, not whether we will take the work.
How do you get paid and what does it cost?
Engagements are fixed-scope with a stated price band and a delivery date agreed before work starts, or monthly for retainers. A single web application penetration test typically lands between ₹45,000 and ₹1,20,000. We do not bill by the hour for assessment work, because hourly billing rewards the wrong behaviour.
How fast can you start?
Most assessment engagements begin within five to ten working days of a signed scope. For an active incident — ransomware, a live breach, a deepfake spreading now — retainer clients are engaged within four hours, and non-retainer clients within twelve.
Is this legal?
Yes, provided the client has authority over the systems being tested. That is why every engagement begins with a written authorisation and a rules-of-engagement document naming the systems, dates and scope. We do not work on systems a client does not control.
