Find and fix security weaknesses before attackers do. Our VAPT services cover web, mobile, API, network and cloud, with clear reports, fix guidance and re-test support.
Security Testing
Finds exploitable weaknesses in applications, networks and cloud before attackers do.
What Is VAPT?
Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing: finding weaknesses, then safely exploiting them to prove real risk.
Who Needs It?
SaaS, fintech, e-commerce, healthcare and IT companies, and any business preparing for ISO 27001, SOC 2 or client security audits.
Why It Matters?
It shows how an attacker could get in, ranks fixes by risk and gives auditors and clients proof of testing.
What is VAPT?
VAPT (Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing) is a security testing service that first identifies weaknesses in applications, networks and cloud systems, then safely attempts to exploit them to show real-world risk. The result is a prioritised report that tells your team exactly what to fix.

VAPT combines two complementary activities. A vulnerability assessment scans your systems to build a broad list of known weaknesses, while penetration testing uses manual, attacker-style techniques to exploit the most serious ones and show their real impact.
Together they answer the question every business owner and auditor asks: could someone actually break in, and what would they reach? A good VAPT report ranks each finding by severity, explains it in plain language and gives developers clear steps to fix it.

VAPT Services — FAQs
A vulnerability assessment lists known weaknesses across your systems, mostly through scanning. Penetration testing goes further by manually exploiting weaknesses to show real impact. Most businesses need both, which is why the combined service is called VAPT.
Most engagements take 1 to 4 weeks, depending on the number of applications, APIs, networks and the depth of testing. Larger or more complex environments take longer.
Neither framework names VAPT as a mandatory step, but both expect vulnerability management and security testing. Auditors and customers usually ask for a recent VAPT report as evidence.
At least once a year, and again after major releases, infrastructure changes or security incidents. Fast-moving products often test every quarter or release.
Testing is planned and agreed in advance. Higher-risk tests can be run on staging environments, and test windows and safe methods are agreed so business operations are not disrupted.
An executive summary, scope and methodology, each finding with severity, evidence and proof of concept, and step-by-step remediation advice. A re-test confirms which issues are closed.
