OUR STORY

Built on experience, driven by mission.

Established in 2000 and headquartered in Nagpur, Maharashtra, Softsense Technoserve was registered as a Private Limited company in 2012. An ISO 9001:2015 certified cybersecurity firm, we serve students, professionals, enterprises, and government bodies across India.

In 2013, we entered the cybersecurity domain with penetration testing trainings, and have since expanded our expertise across exploit development, malware analysis, reverse engineering, web and mobile application security, and digital forensic analysis.

In 2018, we established India's first Phygital Lab — a miniature smart city simulation facility featuring real-world models of data centres, nuclear plants, banks, industrial zones, water treatment plants, and power infrastructure. Teams experience and defend against real cyberattacks using real hardware and SCADA/IoT systems.

Our work spans security auditing (VAPT), corporate training, digital forensics, dark web monitoring, regulatory compliance, and community initiatives like CyberShakti. Our audits follow CERT-In guidelines, and we work with AICTE, the Ministry of Education, and 30+ academic institutions across central India.
