FAQ
DPDP Readiness & Data Protection
The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and the Digital Personal Data Protection Rules, 2025 form India's current DPDP framework. MeitY notified the Rules in November 2025 and specified phased commencement for different provisions.
DPDP readiness means understanding how your organization collects, uses, stores, shares and protects digital personal data and preparing the appropriate governance, processes, notices, rights-handling and security controls.
Applicability depends on your organization, processing activities and the relevant provisions and commencement timeline. A structured assessment is the appropriate starting point.
Start with a personal-data discovery and gap assessment covering data collection, purposes, systems, users, processors, retention, sharing, security and data-principal interactions.
A structured understanding of what personal data is collected, where it resides, why it is processed and who can access it is an important part of preparing for data-protection obligations.

Yes. Rillion can help organizations understand their security-testing requirements, prepare the environment, coordinate assessment activities and track remediation.
Establish the assessment scope, applications/IPs/domains included, authorization, test windows, contacts, exclusions and rules of engagement.
That depends on the risk and agreed assessment methodology. Testing production systems requires careful authorization and controls to minimize operational impact.
Findings should be assessed, prioritized, assigned for remediation and subsequently validated through appropriate retesting.
Not necessarily. Frequency requirements can depend on regulatory, contractual, customer and internal-risk requirements.
APIs should be considered where they form part of the application attack surface or support sensitive business functionality.
Mobile applications can require dedicated security testing in addition to web/API testing, depending on the application architecture and risk.
Send your application architecture, technology stack and any existing VAPT report to contact@rillion.in for an initial discussion about scope and readiness.
FAQ
Penetration Testing & Security Testing
A vulnerability assessment primarily identifies potential weaknesses, while penetration testing involves controlled attempts to validate exploitable security weaknesses within an authorized scope.
That depends on your regulatory requirements, customer expectations, application risk and existing security-testing program.
Web applications should be evaluated according to their risk, exposure and business functionality.
Where APIs expose business functionality or sensitive data, they should be included in the security-testing scope.
Where applicable, mobile applications should be included as part of the broader application security program.
Authenticated testing evaluates functionality accessible after login and can identify weaknesses that unauthenticated testing cannot observe.
It defines the authorized scope and boundaries of a security assessment, including targets, timing, testing restrictions, contacts and escalation procedures.
Typically, the assessment team needs the approved scope, authorized targets, test accounts where required, environment details and escalation contacts.
Yes. Existing reports can be useful for understanding historical findings, remediation status and potential recurring issues.
Share your architecture and application inventory with contact@rillion.in and Rillion can discuss the appropriate assessment scope.

Secure SDLC integrates security activities into software development rather than waiting until an application is ready for production.
Static Application Security Testing can be incorporated into a Secure SDLC depending on the technology stack and risk requirements.
Dependency and software composition analysis can help identify known vulnerabilities and licensing risks in third-party/open-source components.
Yes. Security findings should ideally become actionable development tasks with ownership, severity, remediation and validation.
