I help SaaS, startups, and online businesses find and fix critical vulnerabilities before attackers do — with manual, methodology-driven security audits based on OWASP & real-world exploits.

OWASP-Based Audits Manual Pentesting First Bug Bounty Experience

Audit Packages

Three levels of security coverage — from “first audit” to full enterprise readiness.

Feature / Step 🟩 Basic Audit 🟨 Pro Audit 🟥 Enterprise Audit
1. Project Planning & Scoping ✅ Website + Network basics ✅ Web, Network, Cloud, APIs, Compliance scope ✅ Full enterprise scope (Web, Network, Cloud, API, Endpoints, Employees, Compliance, DR)
2. Information Gathering DNS, WHOIS, Subdomains, Shodan, Google Dorks + Cloud Recon (AWS, Azure, GCP), API Recon, Amass, theHarvester + Threat Intel feeds, Dark Web leaks, Supply Chain exposure
3. Automated Scanning OWASP ZAP, Nikto, Nmap, Nessus + Cloud tools (ScoutSuite, Prowler), API scan, SBOM (Syft/Grype) + Enterprise SIEM integrations, Continuous monitoring setup
4. Manual Testing SQLi, XSS, CSRF, IDOR + Business logic flaws, Cloud IAM misconfigs, API token tampering + Red Teaming simulations, Advanced exploit paths
5. Vulnerability Analysis CVSS scoring, Risk categories + Compliance mapping (ISO, SOC2, PCI DSS, HIPAA) + Attack Path diagrams, Risk Heat Map for board-level
6. Network Config Assessment Open ports, weak protocols, misconfigs + SMB, FTP, Cloud firewalls, IAM + Internal segmentation tests, lateral movement checks
7. Compliance Gap Check ❌ Not included ✅ ISO 27001, SOC2, HIPAA mapping ✅ Full compliance readiness (SOC2, PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, NIST)
8. Employee Security (Phishing) ❌ Not included ✅ Basic phishing simulation + awareness ✅ Full-scale phishing campaigns, dark web credential leaks check
9. Recommendations / Roadmap ✅ General fixes (WAF, headers, SQLi patches) ✅ Prioritized roadmap (Immediate, Short, Long term) ✅ Full security strategy (SIEM, Threat Intel, Red Teaming, IR plans)
10. Fix Verification ✅ Post-audit recheck ✅ Re-test all patched systems ✅ Continuous validation + re-audit cycles
11. Reporting Deliverables PDF Report + Screenshots + Risk Heatmap, Compliance Matrix, PoCs + Executive Board Pack, Strategy Roadmap, Training Certificates

Basic is ideal for your first security check, Pro for funded startups and agencies, and Enterprise for teams needing board-level visibility and compliance.

Experience

Real-world audits, bug bounty wins, and hands-on security work that shapes every engagement.

Security Audit Specialist — Freelance

Perform end-to-end security audits for websites and web apps, focused on business impact and clear, fixable recommendations — not just scanner output.

  • Monthly audits for small businesses & SaaS products
  • Manual testing first: auth, access control, business logic
  • Reports built for both devs and founders

Bug Bounty & Capture-the-Flag

Use real attacker mindset on legal targets — hunting for injection, logic, and privilege escalation bugs on live programs and labs.

  • Active on bug bounty platforms and CTF challenges
  • Comfortable with tools like Burp, ffuf, Nmap, custom scripts
  • Experience translating PoCs into practical fixes

Cybersecurity Internships & Projects

Worked on structured security assessments, documentation, and reporting for training platforms and client-style projects.

  • Hands-on with lab environments and vulnerable apps
  • Exposure to network, web, and basic cloud security
  • Built repeatable checklists and audit workflows

I’m a self-taught cybersecurity learner with 4+ years of breaking labs, reading real reports, and turning that knowledge into audits that actually protect businesses.

Selected Work

A snapshot of how I’ve applied auditing, pentesting, and bug bounty workflows to real products.

SaaS Web App — Access Control Hardening

Led a full web app pentest for a subscription-based SaaS platform. Found IDOR, weak role checks, and missing session invalidation on logout.

  • Tech: PHP / MySQL with custom auth
  • Focus: Auth flows, RBAC, sensitive endpoints
  • Result: Critical privilege escalation paths removed pre-launch

E-Commerce Store — API & Payment Flows

Audited APIs and checkout flows for an online store handling card payments and customer data. Identified IDOR, missing rate-limits, and weak headers.

  • Tech: REST APIs, third-party payment gateway
  • Focus: API abuse, broken object-level access, security headers
  • Result: Safer checkout experience and reduced fraud risk

Bug Bounty — High-Impact Reports

Reported vulnerabilities on live targets including XSS, CSRF, and tricky logic bugs. This bug bounty mindset feeds directly into my client audits.

  • Approach: Recon + manual exploitation over pure automation
  • Tools: Burp Suite, ZAP, custom payloads, recon tooling
  • Result: Multiple accepted reports & practical remediation insights

About Me

Not a generic “ethical hacker” — a partner who treats your product like it’s on tomorrow’s front page.

I’m Anvesh, the person behind Defensify. My focus is simple: help you ship faster without waking up to a breach.

Instead of throwing scanner screenshots at you, I combine structured methodologies (OWASP, NIST-style thinking) with attacker creativity from bug bounty and CTFs. Every finding in my report answers three questions: What’s the real risk? How could it be abused? How do we fix it without slowing the business?

I love working with founders, dev teams, and agencies because I understand both sides: the security paranoia and the pressure to ship features on time.

I’ve been learning cybersecurity on my own for 4+ years — from breaking intentionally vulnerable labs to securing real client projects with repeatable audits.

What you get with me

  • Manual-first testing with proof-of-concept, not just tool output
  • Clear, developer-friendly remediation steps
  • Prioritized roadmap so you know what to fix first
  • Flexible engagement: one-time audits or recurring checks
  • Direct communication — you talk to the person doing the testing
