Cyber security practice — Mumbai
Assume nothing.
Assume nothing.
Verify everything.
Shax helps financial services and technology enterprises find their weaknesses before someone else does — through consulting, round-the-clock monitoring, offensive testing, and cyber crime response.

24/7 SOC monitoring & detection
Sectors
BFSI & technology enterprises
Scope
Consulting through to courtroom-ready forensics
Firm profile
A practice built by practitioners.
Shax was founded on a simple premise: security advice is only useful when it comes from people who have done the work themselves — broken into networks, hunted intrusions, and sat across the table from regulators and law enforcement. We work as an extension of your security team, not a vendor that disappears once the report is delivered.
Headquartered in Mumbai, we work with financial services and technology organisations across India, combining hands-on offensive testing with continuous defensive monitoring and a response team that stays engaged when things go wrong.
"We don't sell fear. We sell certainty — about what's actually exposed, and what to do about it."

Who we work with
Two sectors where the stakes don't allow for guesswork.
Banking, NBFC & financial infrastructure.
Our largest practice area is financial services, including sustained work with a major non-banking financial company (NBFC) — covering regulatory-driven testing, fraud and cyber crime response, and continuous monitoring for a business where downtime and data loss carry regulatory consequences, not just operational ones.
Product & infrastructure teams.
For technology and IT organisations, we test products and infrastructure the way customers' own security teams eventually will — before launch, before audit, before it becomes an incident.

Why Shax
We think of ourselves as an extension of your team — the part that spends its whole day thinking about what could go wrong, so the rest of your organisation doesn't have to.
- Practitioners, not presenters
- Our consultants have personally run the tools and techniques they recommend — the report is a byproduct of the work, not a substitute for it.
- Evidence over assumption
- Every finding is reproducible and every report is written to be actionable by the engineers who have to fix it.
- Discretion by default
- Cyber crime and financial services work demands confidentiality; we build it into everything, including how we talk about our own work.
- India-based, India-aware
- We understand the regulatory and threat landscape that enterprises here actually operate in — not an imported playbook.
