Cyberchef

What Cyberchef does

Cyberchef is an India-based boutique cybersecurity services firm, operating as part of the Techchef Group, that delivers a managed security portfolio spanning Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT), Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC), endpoint security, Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM), Cybersecurity Awareness Training (CSAT), and Mobile Device Management (MDM). The firm leverages partnerships with category-leading vendors — Palo Alto Networks, SentinelOne, Druva, and Wiz — to deliver these services through certified delivery capabilities, supplementing in-house expertise with vendor tooling and channel alignment. Its service stack is delivered by a small team of 15+ in-house cybersecurity experts drawing on 20+ years of IT industry experience.

The company's go-to-market is sales-led and enterprise-focused, with disclosed Indian enterprise client logos including Jaypee Group, ALITSO, and EESL. Pricing mechanics are consistent with a professional services and managed-security engagement model — project-based VAPT work, recurring managed service contracts, and advisory engagements — rather than a per-seat SaaS model. Cyberchef generates revenue by combining assessment services, recurring managed contracts, and GRC advisory, with multi-year enterprise engagement structures implied by the firm's certifications and partner designations.

Operationally, Cyberchef maintains physical delivery presence across four major Indian metros — Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, and Bengaluru — enabling enterprise sales cycles that favor local presence. Recognition signals include the BTX Top Solution Award (2022) and the 100 Accelerator Award. The firm also positions its offerings toward the education sector and SMB clients in addition to large enterprises, suggesting a deliberate segment-broadening motion.
