What is Indusface?

Indusface is a Vadodara-founded application security company, now with a US office in Dallas and Indian offices in Bengaluru, Navi Mumbai and Delhi. Its main product, AppTrana, is a fully managed cloud WAAP. It puts a web application firewall, unmetered L3-L7 DDoS mitigation, bot protection, API security and a CDN behind a single DNS change. A separate product, Indusface WAS, is a DAST scanner for web apps, APIs and Android/iOS apps. The company says it protects 6,500+ customers in 95+ countries, and names Indian logos such as HDFC Ergo, Tata Power, Tata Capital and IndusInd Bank.

The managed layer is what sets it apart from a do-it-yourself WAF. Indusface's own analysts tune policies, remove false positives and write custom rules. SwyftComply turns scanner findings into virtual patches, and experts check each patch before it is enforced. That suits Indian SMEs, NBFCs, insurers and e-commerce firms that must pass RBI, CERT-In or PCI audits but have no in-house security team. The vendor promises go-live within about five minutes of the DNS switch, with no code changes or agents, and claims a 100% uptime SLA.

Pricing is published in US dollars. AppTrana WAAP Advanced costs $99 per license per FQDN per month, with 30 GB of free bandwidth, two expert-written custom rules and limited DDoS and bot mitigation. Bandwidth overage is $0.36 per GB. Premium and Enterprise are quoted and billed annually, and both add comprehensive DDoS and bot coverage, unlimited custom rules and SwyftComply. API Security plans are priced per API host on quote only. Indusface WAS starts at $59 per app per month, or $599 per app billed yearly. GST is not mentioned on the pricing pages.

There are drawbacks. There is no free plan, only a free trial, and the trial length isn't stated publicly. Per-FQDN licensing gets expensive when you run many subdomains. The pricing page doesn't clearly show which tier includes RBAC, SIEM export and custom SSL. SIEM integration works through log delivery to an AWS S3 bucket rather than native connectors. Indusface also doesn't publish its PoP or data-centre locations, so if data residency matters, ask before signing. If you run one important customer-facing site and want security handled for you, the $99 Advanced plan is a sensible place to start.

What works well

+Fully managed service: Indusface analysts tune rules and clear false positives for you
+Public entry price of $99 per FQDN per month for the AppTrana Advanced WAAP plan
+WAF, DDoS, bot mitigation and CDN come bundled in one platform behind a DNS change
+SwyftComply virtual patches close scanner findings before developers ship code fixes
+Holds SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, PCI DSS and HITRUST certifications and is CERT-In empanelled
+Indian sales and support phone lines, with offices in Vadodara, Bengaluru, Navi Mumbai and Delhi
+Separate DAST product, Indusface WAS, starts at $59 per app per month

What to watch out for

−No permanent free plan, and the free trial length is not stated publicly
−Prices are in US dollars with no GST guidance on the pricing page
−Licences are per FQDN, so many subdomains push the bill up quickly
−Premium, Enterprise and all API Security plans are quote-only, billed annually
−SIEM export relies on AWS S3 log delivery rather than native connectors
−PoP and data-centre locations are not published, which matters for data residency

Best suited for: Indian BFSI, insurance and NBFC firms that need managed WAF coverage for audits · E-commerce and SaaS companies without an in-house security operations team · Businesses that want to virtually patch VAPT findings before code fixes are ready · Managed service providers who need a white-label DAST scanner (MSSP edition)

Indusface — frequently asked questions

How much does Indusface AppTrana cost?+

Indusface AppTrana WAAP Advanced is listed at $99 per licence per FQDN per month. That includes 30 GB of bandwidth, with overage charged at $0.36 per GB. Premium and Enterprise are quoted by sales and billed annually. API Security plans are quote-only and priced per API host. Indian buyers should ask sales for a rupee quote that shows GST before committing.

Do Indusface prices include GST?+

Indusface's pricing pages show prices in US dollars and say nothing about GST. Indian businesses buying software services normally pay 18% GST on top of the listed price. Indusface has offices in Vadodara, Bengaluru, Navi Mumbai and Delhi, so ask its India sales team for a GST invoice and an INR quote during procurement.

Does Indusface have a free plan?+

No, Indusface does not offer a permanent free plan for AppTrana. There is a free trial: the Advanced WAAP plan has a Start Free option, and the Indusface WAS Advance scanner also has a trial. The trial length is not published, so confirm it with sales. For tiny sites, a free CDN-based WAF may be enough.

What is the difference between AppTrana Advanced and Premium?+

AppTrana Advanced costs $99 per FQDN. It includes limited DDoS and bot mitigation, two expert-written custom rules and 30 GB of bandwidth. Premium is quoted and billed annually. It adds comprehensive DDoS and bot coverage, unlimited custom rules, 150 GB of bandwidth and SwyftComply virtual patching. Choose Premium if you are a regulated business or face frequent attacks.

How long does Indusface AppTrana take to set up?+

Indusface says AppTrana can go live within about five minutes of a DNS change, with no code changes or agents. Its stated SLA for WAF deployments is under 72 hours when the managed team migrates traffic and tunes policies. In practice, plan a few days of monitoring before you move every application to full block mode.

Is Indusface secure and certified?+

Indusface lists SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, PCI DSS and HITRUST certifications, and says it is CERT-In listed. That helps Indian banks, NBFCs and insurers during vendor risk reviews. It also claims a 100% uptime SLA. It does not publish data-centre or PoP locations, so ask about data residency in writing.

Indusface AppTrana vs Cloudflare: which is better?+

Indusface AppTrana is a managed service. Its analysts tune rules, remove false positives and virtually patch vulnerabilities for you, starting at $99 per FQDN a month. Cloudflare is mostly self-managed and has a larger global network and a free tier. If you have no security team and face audits, AppTrana's managed model is easier. Engineering-heavy teams may prefer Cloudflare.

Does Indusface integrate with SIEM tools?+

Yes. Indusface AppTrana exports WAF logs to an AWS S3 bucket that your SIEM reads from. You set it up under Settings > SIEM Integration with your AWS account ID and external ID. Indusface does not document native connectors to specific SIEM products, so check that your SIEM can ingest from S3.

Does Indusface have a mobile app?+

Indusface does not list a mobile app for managing AppTrana. The console runs in a browser. Its WAS scanner can test your own Android and iOS apps for vulnerabilities, but that is a scanning service, not a management app. Alerts and reports come through the web dashboard and email.

Does Indusface provide support in India?+

Yes. Indusface is an Indian company with offices in Vadodara, Bengaluru, Navi Mumbai and Delhi. It has a dedicated India support line, +91 265 6133083, and a sales line, +91 265 6133021.
