What is Astra Security?

Astra Security sells penetration testing as a service (PTaaS) together with a DAST web scanner, an API security platform and an agentless cloud scanner for AWS, Azure and GCP. It started in India, and its own blog describes it as CERT-In empanelled for security auditing, a PCI ASV and CREST-accredited, while the operating company today is ASTRA IT, Inc. It says more than 1,000 engineering teams use it, with logos such as HackerRank, Mamaearth and OLX Autos.

The fit is strongest for Indian SaaS companies, fintechs and D2C brands that need a VAPT report for a customer, an auditor or a regulator. Astra's blog lists coverage for ISO 27001, SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, RBI guidelines and the SEBI cybersecurity framework, and it issues a publicly verifiable certificate after fixes are verified. Findings land in a dashboard where developers can talk to the pentesters, and Jira, Slack and GitHub integrations push issues into the tools engineers already use.

Pricing is published in US dollars. The DAST Scanner Lite plan is $69 a month or $699 a year for three scans a month, Scanner is $199 a month with unlimited scans, and Pentest Expert, which includes a manual pentest by certified testers, is $5,999 a year. Several scanner plans offer a week's trial for $7. Astra's India-focused blog quotes pentests from about ₹1,49,999 a year, but that figure sits in a marketing article rather than on the pricing page, so get a written INR quote.

The trade-offs: dollar billing means card forex charges and GST handling that need checking with sales, the pricing page has small inconsistencies (Cloud Starter appears at both $99 and $199), and a full manual assessment takes 10-15 business days by Astra's own estimate. For a small site that only needs a yearly scan, the Lite scanner is enough; for a compliance audit, budget for Pentest Expert or above.

What works well

+Combines manual pentesting, DAST, API and cloud scanning on one dashboard
+Astra says it is CERT-In empanelled, useful for Indian regulatory audits
+Pentest Expert includes manual testing by certified experts and two re-scans
+DAST scans run 10,000+ checks including OWASP Top 10, with authenticated scanning
+Scanner plans offer a one-week trial for $7 without long commitment
+Jira, Slack, GitHub and CI/CD integrations push findings to developers
+Publicly verifiable certificate is issued once vulnerabilities are fixed and verified

What to watch out for

−Pricing page lists plans only in US dollars, with no INR rates
−Manual pentest plans start at $5,999 a year, steep for very small businesses
−Comprehensive assessments take 10-15 business days according to Astra
−Pricing page shows inconsistent figures, such as Cloud Starter at $99 and $199
−GST treatment and Indian invoicing are not explained on the pricing page

Best suited for: Indian SaaS and fintech firms needing a VAPT report for SOC 2, ISO 27001 or RBI audits · Engineering teams wanting continuous DAST scanning in their CI/CD pipeline · Companies with public APIs that need shadow and zombie API discovery · Agencies managing security scans across several client websites

Is Astra Security CERT-In empanelled?+

Astra Security states on its own blog that it is CERT-In empanelled to provide information security auditing services, and also lists PCI ASV status and CREST accreditation. Because these are vendor claims, regulated companies should cross-check the current CERT-In empanelled auditor list on the CERT-In website before relying on it for an audit.

How long does an Astra Security pentest take?+

Astra Security estimates 10-15 business days for a comprehensive manual assessment. Its automated Pentest Auto plan promises same-day results, and the DAST scanner runs whenever you trigger or schedule it. After you fix issues, Astra re-scans (two re-scans on Pentest Expert) and issues a publicly verifiable certificate.

Astra Security vs a traditional Indian VAPT firm: which is better?+

Astra Security suits teams that want continuous scanning, a live dashboard, developer integrations and repeat retests in one subscription. A traditional VAPT firm usually delivers a one-off PDF report, sometimes cheaper for a single audit. If you ship code often, Astra's model is better; for a single annual compliance report, compare quotes.

What compliance standards does Astra Security help with?+

Astra Security says its pentest reports support SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA and PCI-DSS, along with Indian frameworks such as RBI guidelines and the SEBI cybersecurity framework. One customer testimonial on its site credits an Astra pentest with helping it achieve ISO 27001 certification.
