About
Drishti means seeing beyond.
It is Sanskrit for penetrating vision, and it is the work we do. DrishtiX Cyber Labs looks past the surface of what fast-moving teams ship and lays a firm foundation beneath it, so you can keep rising without having to look down.
Why we exist.
Security and data safety now matter to every team that ships, not only to large firms. The help on offer had not caught up.
DXCL was founded by an application security specialist from a global IT services firm. From the inside, two things were plain: the real technical value of cyber and AI security, and a gap in the market for teams that grow fast.
Then the ground moved. AI and a new wave of startups put customer data, models and connected products in the hands of small teams. Funders now ask about data safety before they invest. And AI security is still early: the attacks are new, and so is the practice of testing for them.
Where teams usually turn
- Large consultancies
- Built to serve large clients, and good at it. For a fast-growing team that means a long turnaround, often around a month, at enterprise rates.
- Specialist firms
- Mid-sized firms that do strong work, but there are few of them compared with demand, and they still charge enterprise rates.
- Freelancers and bug bounty
- Some are excellent, but they are hard to depend on, and most cover either VAPT or AI security, not both.
We built DXCL for the space in between: enterprise-level testing and reporting at founder-friendly prices, current with the threat landscape, from a team that is warm and direct in a market that often feels cold.
What we stand for.
Three values, and what each one is for: joy in building, safety for the people who use what you build, and room to grow.
Balance
Joy in building
Security that keeps pace with shipping.
Building a company should feel like building, not like bracing for the next incident. Good testing takes weight off: you know what was tested, what was found and what is fixed, and you can get back to the work you enjoy. That is why the environment and testing window are agreed with you up front, and every engagement follows the same path.
Security
Safety for your users
Testing that holds up when someone pushes on it.
Your users trust you with their data, and that trust is only as good as the testing behind it. So we test the way an attacker would: automated attacks with best-of-market tools first, then people working by hand through every page and endpoint in scope, looking for the flaws in logic that scanners miss.
Success
Room to grow
Proof that helps close the next deal or round.
Growth brings harder questions from investors, enterprise buyers and compliance teams. We want your answer to be short: here is our certificate, check it yourself. Behind it sit a managerial report written for leadership and a technical report your engineers can work from straight away.
How we operate.
Eight commitments that hold on every engagement, from a single API to a full product.
You talk to the testers.
No account managers in between. The people testing your product are the people on your calls.
Certified testers, every time.
Every engagement is run by certified security testers with the skills your scope calls for.
Tools and people, together.
Automated attacks cover the known patterns at speed. Manual testing of every page and endpoint in scope finds what tools miss.
Prices fixed in writing.
You get a fixed price after the scoping call, before any testing starts. It changes only if you change the scope.
Written approval comes first.
Testing starts only after you approve the scope, the environment and the testing window in writing.
Reports for builders and leaders.
Engineers get each finding with the request, the impact and the fix. Leadership gets a managerial report in plain words.
Support while you fix.
Your developers can bring us questions while they work through the findings. The first check of your fixes is included.
Certificates that expire.
Validity is set per engagement, from 3 to 6 months. A full retest renews it, so your assurance stays current.
Where we work.
Hyderabad, India.
We work with teams in India today and are expanding internationally. Prices are quoted in US dollars.
Where we are going.
Two aims shape what we build next.
Make verifiable proof the norm.
We want a certificate with an expiry date and a public check to become the normal way founders, funders and customers ask, and answer, one question: has this been tested, and how recently? It sits alongside formal audits and certifications, not in place of them.
Cover the whole lifecycle.
Testing is one moment in the life of a product. We aim to grow with the teams we work with across the whole SDLC, from development through security and operations to AI, so security is part of every stage rather than a check at the end.
