Benelec

What Benelec does

Benelec Infotech Pvt. Ltd. (operating as Benelec) is an Indian cybersecurity consulting and professional services firm founded in 1995 and headquartered in Pune, Maharashtra. The company delivers eight tightly integrated service lines: V-CISO advisory, ISO 27001 ISMS consultancy, data privacy compliance under DPDP, GDPR, and CCPA, vulnerability assessment and penetration testing, network and application security, red team engagements and security audits, security awareness training, and ongoing security monitoring. Service engagement spans strategy and governance through hands-on offensive testing and continuous monitoring, allowing Benelec to act as a single advisor across the full security lifecycle rather than a point solution vendor.

Benelec operates a sales-led enterprise go-to-market with no public pricing, requiring direct engagement via its website for personalized cyber defense blueprints. Services are delivered onsite in Pune or online across India, with the company explicitly limiting operations to a domestic, single-country footprint. Revenue is generated entirely through professional services engagements structured as either project-based assessments or ongoing advisory retainers. The firm maintains a broad technology partner ecosystem spanning 14+ global security vendors including Microsoft, Check Point, Trend Micro, SentinelOne, Qualys, Netskope, and WatchGuard, which it leverages as an integrator across heterogeneous client environments. No proprietary software platform, AI/ML capabilities, or recurring SaaS product is disclosed in the available source material.
