Project Overview

Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) is an essential compliance check for Indian fintechs applying for RBI payment licenses or preparing for investor due diligence. However, traditional manual audits cost ₹1L–₹5L and take weeks, leaving smaller startups exposed.

DeveloperBee designed and engineered **FraudShield** (SecureOS) — a self-serve AI-powered security intelligence platform. FraudShield automates Shodan-based OSINT recon, isolated Docker-based Nmap port scans, and matches CVEs in real time, compiling compliance summaries mapped directly to the DPDP Act 2023, RBI IT Master Directions, and CERT-In reporting thresholds.

Operational Challenges

• Prohibitive Pricing: Seed-stage fintechs were priced out of security certificates by manual pen-testers.
• Mounting Regulations: DPDP Act 2023 mandates severe fines (up to ₹250 Cr) for data breaches and security failures.
• Stale Scanner Reports: Automated tools output unreadable JSON files that DevOps engineers struggled to quickly action.
• CERT-In Timelines: Directives mandate reporting data breaches within a strict 6-hour window, requiring continuous monitoring.
