Frequently Asked
Common Questions, Answered
What is VAPT and why does my business need it?+
VAPT (Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing) simulates a real attack on your systems to find weaknesses before hackers do. It's the standard way Indian businesses identify security gaps and meet compliance requirements like DPDPA.
Is my business too small to be targeted by hackers?+
No. Most cyberattacks on Indian SMBs happen precisely because attackers assume smaller businesses have weaker defences. Automated attack tools don't discriminate by company size β they scan for any open vulnerability.
What does DPDPA compliance actually require?+
India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA) requires businesses to secure personal data, obtain clear consent before using it, and report breaches promptly. Non-compliance can mean penalties running into crores of rupees. DigiMount audits your systems and closes the gaps needed to comply.
How often should we run a penetration test?+
At least once a year, and again after any major change to your website, app, or network. Businesses in finance, healthcare, or e-commerce β where breach risk is higher β should test quarterly.
What's the difference between VAPT and antivirus software?+
Antivirus software catches known malware after it reaches a device. VAPT proactively searches your network, applications, and configurations for unknown vulnerabilities before an attacker can exploit them. Most businesses need both, but VAPT is what actually prevents a breach.
What happens if we discover a breach has already occurred?+
Our incident response plan activates immediately β containing the threat, assessing what was accessed, and guiding you through DPDPA's breach-reporting requirements so you stay compliant even in a crisis.
