A scanner tells you what might be wrong. VAPT tells you what an attacker can actually do with it. We sweep your applications, APIs, and internet-facing assets for every known weakness, then manually exploit and chain the real ones — so you fix what matters first, with proof in hand.
Two halves, one engagement
Most “pentests” on the market are a vulnerability scan with a cover page. Most scans bury the one critical issue under hundreds of low-value warnings. VAPT runs both disciplines together so neither weakness slips through.
Systematic, wide coverage of the entire agreed scope.
Manual, attacker-minded testing of what the assessment surfaced — and what it cannot see.
What's in scope
Scope is tailored to your environment. A typical VAPT covers the following, aligned to the OWASP Web Security Testing Guide and OWASP Top 10 / API Security Top 10.
SQL injection, cross-site scripting, SSRF, command injection, file upload abuse, and insecure deserialization across every form, parameter, and request path.
REST and GraphQL endpoints, JWT forgery and alg=none downgrades, session handling, token expiry, MFA bypass, and login rate limiting.
Cross-tenant and privilege-escalation checks run with real accounts on separate tenants — the flaw class behind many of the largest data exposures.
Subdomain and host discovery, open ports and services, WAF and technology fingerprinting, and assets you may not know are still online.
TLS protocols and cipher suites, certificate hygiene, HTTP security headers, cookie flags, CORS policy, and exposed .git, .env, and backup files.
Optional source review: static analysis for unsafe patterns, secrets committed anywhere in git history, and known-vulnerable packages across the dependency tree.
How it runs
Targets, test accounts, time windows, and rules of engagement agreed in writing before a single request is sent.
Reconnaissance and automated vulnerability assessment across the full scope to build a complete picture of the attack surface.
Manual penetration testing confirms, chains, and demonstrates impact — every finding verified by a human before it is reported.
Risk-ranked findings with fix guidance, a walkthrough with your engineers, and a retest once fixes ship.
What you receive
Findings are scored with CVSS and then ranked by real business risk — so a critical issue on a forgotten test server does not outrank a medium one in your payment flow.
Questions
A vulnerability assessment is breadth: it finds and lists as many known weaknesses as possible across the scope. A penetration test is depth: it tries to exploit those weaknesses, and chain them, the way a real attacker would, to prove what is actually reachable and what the impact is. VAPT combines both, so you get full coverage and confirmed, prioritised risk.
At least once a year, and after any significant change: a major release, new authentication or payment flow, an infrastructure migration, or a newly exposed API. Many teams pair an annual full VAPT with a lighter pre-release check on every major version.
Testing is agreed in writing before it starts: targets, test accounts, time windows, and anything that is off limits. Denial-of-service and destructive actions are excluded, request rates are throttled, and we can test a staging environment that mirrors production if you prefer.
Yes. The report is written to serve as evidence for frameworks that require regular vulnerability management and penetration testing, such as PCI DSS, ISO 27001, SOC 2, and HIPAA, and for customer security questionnaires.
Yes. Once your team has fixed the findings, we retest each one and issue an updated report showing which issues are closed, so you have evidence of remediation, not just a list of problems.
