Introduction

Website Security Audits at EIT Connect

A website security audit from EIT Connect checks your site the way an attacker would, then tells you in plain language what's wrong, how serious it is and how to fix it. Most website breaches don't involve clever new attacks. They come from outdated plugins, weak logins, exposed backup files and forms that accept more than they should. Because we're a development team, we can also fix what we find and retest it, so you end up with a safer website, not just a longer to-do list.

Checks are aligned with the OWASP Top 10, the widely used list of the most critical web application risks.

Compliance

Do You Need a CERT-In Empanelled Auditor?

Some organisations must use a security auditor on CERT-In's empanelled list, including many RBI-regulated entities, SEBI-regulated intermediaries, insurers and government websites. If that applies to you, your regulator may not accept a report from a non-empanelled firm. We'll tell you at the start. We can still prepare your website for that audit and fix the findings it raises. For most private business websites, an independent audit like ours is what you need.

Why Your Website Needs a Security Audit

How We Work

Our Website Security Audit Process

Seven clear steps, agreed in writing before any testing starts.

  1. Scope & permission

    We agree what's in scope, when testing happens and how, in writing.

  2. Discovery

    We map your pages, logins, forms, APIs, plugins and server setup.

  3. Automated checks

    Scanners look for known vulnerabilities and misconfigurations.

  4. Manual verification

    Our testers confirm each finding and look for issues scanners miss.

  5. Report

    Every finding with a severity rating, evidence and clear fix steps, plus a plain-language summary.

  6. Fix (optional)

    Our developers fix the findings you approve, starting with the most serious.

  7. Retest

    We confirm every fix works and issue a closure summary.

Pricing

What Affects Website Security Audit Cost

Website security audit cost depends mainly on:

  • Size and complexity: number of pages, forms, user roles and integrations
  • Depth: an automated vulnerability assessment costs less than manual penetration testing
  • Custom code: bespoke applications and APIs take longer to test than a standard CMS site
  • Fixes and retests: whether remediation is included
  • Compliance needs: whether a specific report format is required

We share a fixed quote after a short scoping call.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is a website security audit?

A website security audit is a structured check of your site's software, server, logins, forms, code and data handling to find vulnerabilities. It ends with a report rating each issue by severity, with evidence and steps to fix it.

What is the difference between a vulnerability assessment and a penetration test?

A website vulnerability assessment finds and confirms weaknesses, mostly through scanning plus manual checks. A penetration test goes further and safely tries to exploit them, to show what an attacker could actually do. Many audits combine both.

How much does a website security audit cost?

Cost depends on the size and complexity of the site, the depth of testing, how much custom code there is, whether fixes and retests are included, and any compliance format required. We share a fixed quote after a short scoping call.

How long does a website security audit take?

A standard business or WordPress website usually takes a few working days to test and report. Larger sites, custom applications and APIs take longer. Fixes and retests are scheduled after the report.

Will testing affect my live website?

Testing is agreed in writing beforehand and uses safe methods. Riskier tests can be run on a staging copy or at quiet times, so customers aren't affected.

Do I need a CERT-In empanelled auditor?

Only if a regulator or contract requires one, which is common for RBI-regulated entities, SEBI-regulated intermediaries, insurers and government websites. For most private business websites, an independent audit is enough. We'll tell you which applies before you commit.

Do you fix the vulnerabilities you find?

Yes, if you want us to. Our developers fix the findings you approve, starting with the most serious, and then we retest and confirm each one is closed.

How often should I audit my website?

At least once a year, and after any major change such as a redesign, a new platform, new payment or login features, or a security incident. Sites handling payments or sensitive data benefit from more frequent checks.
