Data Breach Investigation & Assessment

Budget: ₹1500 - ₹12500

A recent alert suggests that sensitive information has leaked through one of our third-party applications, and I need a seasoned cyber-security specialist to get to the bottom of it. The immediate priority is a full vulnerability assessment that pinpoints exactly how the breach occurred, how far the compromise extends, and what data may still be exposed.

Affected system • Third-party applications

Scope of work

1. Perform a comprehensive vulnerability assessment of every relevant integration point, using industry-standard tools such as Burp Suite, OWASP ZAP, or equivalents.
2. Gather and preserve forensic evidence that shows the attack vector, data accessed, and timeline of events.
3. Deliver a clear, prioritized remediation plan with step-by-step fixes and suggested hardening measures.
4. Re-test once patches are applied and provide a final confirmation report that our environment is secure.

Acceptance criteria • Written assessment detailing each discovered vulnerability, risk level, and proof-of-concept where applicable. • Log files, packet captures, or screenshots supporting your findings. • Remediation checklist mapped to CVSS scores, demonstrating closure of all critical and high-risk issues. • A concise executive summary suitable for non-technical stakeholders.

Please outline your methodology, preferred toolset, and estimated timeline so we can move quickly to contain and eradicate the breach.
