The Intect

Intect is a CERT-In-empaneled offensive-security and compliance practice of Hion Security Pvt Ltd, based in New Delhi. The company helps enterprises, startups, and digital-first organizations expose exploitable weaknesses across people, applications, networks, cloud infrastructure, and AI systems. Its capabilities cover 12 offensive-testing services, including red-team assessments, web, network, mobile, and thick-client penetration testing, cloud-security assessments, secure-code reviews, social-engineering testing, AI/ML penetration testing, and AI-assisted autonomous testing. Engagements are conducted by researchers who manually chain weaknesses from reconnaissance and initial access through lateral movement and privilege escalation, producing evidence of the actual attack path rather than relying only on automated scan results.

Intect also supports 16 compliance frameworks and readiness programs, spanning ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, ISO 42001, ISO 27701, RBI and IRDAI audits, SEBI CSCRF, SWIFT CSCF, DPDP, CICRA, and ITGC. Its broader service portfolio includes Virtual CISO and Virtual DPO advisory, information-security risk assessment, and HR services spanning talent, staff augmentation, and payroll. The company is ISO 27001:2022 certified and emphasizes attack-led assurance: testing controls before certification so compliance evidence reflects how security performs against realistic adversaries.
