Cybersecurity & VAPT for Defence & Aerospace
Cybersecurity & VAPT for defence & aerospace, built around the constraint that defines the sector: systems must run fully air-gapped, on open weights, with no external dependency whatsoever.

- Typical first release
- 6 weeks
What changes when it is defence & aerospace
A scanner output is not a security assessment. Automated tools produce pages of noise, and the value is in a human deciding what is actually exploitable in your context.
In defence & aerospace, systems must run fully air-gapped, on open weights, with no external dependency whatsoever. That single fact reshapes how cybersecurity & vapt has to be built here, the guardrails, the approval points and the evidence trail are design inputs rather than things bolted on before go-live.
The workload we are most often asked to take on first is logistics and inventory optimisation, usually integrated against sensor systems. Every engagement opens with a measurement: the cycle time, the cost per transaction, or the error rate we are being asked to move.
Built by engineers who ship production systems, not by a practice that subcontracts the build. Six weeks to something running in production, not six quarters to a strategy document.
The sector constraints we design around
- Defining constraint
- systems must run fully air-gapped, on open weights, with no external dependency whatsoever
- Regulations in scope
- security clearance requirements · indigenous content norms · export control · classified handling procedures
- Systems of record
- classified networks · logistics systems · simulation platforms · sensor systems
- Where we usually start
- document intelligence on classified material
Cybersecurity & VAPT workloads in defence & aerospace
- document intelligence on classified material
- imagery analysis
- logistics and inventory optimisation
- maintenance prediction
- training simulation support
What is included
- Scoped testing across web, API, mobile or network as agreed
- Findings ranked by exploitability and business impact, not by scanner severity
- Proof-of-concept for each finding so nobody debates whether it is real
- Remediation guidance specific to your stack, not generic advice
- Free re-test after fixes, because an unverified fix is a hope
- Report formatted for the auditors and clients who will ask for it
Questions from this sector
Can it work fully offline?
Yes, open-weight models on local infrastructure, with no external API calls at any point in the pipeline.
What about indigenous requirements?
Open-weight models deployed on Indian infrastructure with source-available components satisfy most indigenous content criteria; we structure builds accordingly.
How often should we test?
Annually as a baseline, plus after any significant change to authentication, payments or data handling. Continuous scanning between manual tests catches the obvious regressions.
Will testing break our systems?
We agree scope and intensity first, and destructive tests are excluded unless you explicitly want them in a staging environment. Production testing is deliberately careful.
Do you help fix the findings?
Yes, as a separate engagement if you want it, and the re-test is included either way so you can verify your own team's fixes.
