Vulnerability Assessment
& Penetration Testing

Comprehensive security testing to identify vulnerabilities in your systems before attackers can exploit them.

Schedule Your VAPT

Holistic Security Testing Approach

Our VAPT services simulate real-world attacks to uncover security weaknesses in your web applications, mobile apps, network infrastructure, and APIs. We combine automated scanning with manual testing techniques to provide the most thorough assessment possible.

Testing Coverage

Web Application Testing

Full assessment of web apps against OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities

Network Penetration Testing

Identification of network-level vulnerabilities and misconfigurations

API Security Testing

Assessment of REST/SOAP APIs for authentication and data leakage issues

Mobile App Security

Testing of iOS and Android applications for platform-specific vulnerabilities

Our VAPT Methodology

1
Reconnaissance

Information gathering and mapping of the attack surface.

2
Vulnerability Scanning

Automated scanning to identify known vulnerabilities.

3
Manual Exploitation

Attempt to exploit vulnerabilities to assess real risk.

4
Privilege Escalation

Attempt to gain higher levels of access within the system.

5
Reporting & Remediation

Detailed findings with risk ratings and mitigation strategies.

VAPT FAQ

What's the difference between Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing?

Vulnerability Assessment identifies and catalogs potential vulnerabilities, while Penetration Testing actively exploits these vulnerabilities to understand their real-world impact. Our VAPT service combines both approaches for comprehensive security evaluation.

How often should we perform penetration testing?

We recommend at least annual testing, or whenever you:

  • Make significant changes to your infrastructure
  • Add new applications or services
  • Need compliance with standards like PCI DSS (which requires quarterly testing)
  • Experience a security incident

Will the testing disrupt our production environment?

We take extreme care to avoid service disruption. Before engaging, we'll agree on:

  • Testing windows that minimize business impact
  • Throttling limits for automated scans
  • Critical systems that require special handling
Most tests run without causing downtime, but we recommend scheduling during maintenance windows for intensive assessments.

What credentials do your testers need?

This depends on the testing scope:

  • Black box: No credentials needed
  • Gray box: Standard user account
  • White box: Admin privileges and architecture documentation
We recommend starting with gray box testing for the most realistic assessment of both external and internal threats.

How do you ensure findings are actionable?

Our reports include:

  • Risk ratings based on exploitability and impact
  • Detailed remediation steps for each finding
  • Developer-friendly code snippets where applicable
  • References to OWASP/CWE standards
  • Optional remediation consultation sessions
We focus on providing clear, practical guidance rather than just listing vulnerabilities.

Do you retest after we fix vulnerabilities?

Yes, we offer complimentary retesting for critical findings within 30 days of the initial report. For comprehensive retesting of all fixes, we provide discounted follow-up engagements to verify remediation effectiveness.

Can you help us prepare for certification?

Yes, we offer comprehensive preparation services including gap assessments, documentation development, staff training, and pre-certification mock audits to ensure you're fully prepared for the official certification audit.
