Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing (VAPT)
Find and fix weaknesses in apps, APIs, networks and cloud before attackers exploit them.
The problem
Attackers look for the one unpatched server, exposed API or weak login that your team has not spotted yet. For regulated businesses, a single exploited flaw can mean customer impact, regulator reporting and lasting reputational damage.
Regulators such as RBI, SEBI and IRDAI expect periodic, documented security testing. A VAPT shows you where you are exposed, how serious each issue is and exactly what to fix, with evidence you can show auditors.

FAQ
VAPT — common questions
What is the difference between a vulnerability assessment and a penetration test?
A vulnerability assessment finds and lists known weaknesses. A penetration test goes further and safely tries to exploit them, showing what an attacker could actually achieve. VAPT combines both.
How often should we run a VAPT?
Many regulated entities test at least annually and after major changes, and some frameworks such as SEBI CSCRF set a cadence by category. We help you map the frequency that applies to you.
Will testing disrupt our live systems?
Testing is planned with your team, follows agreed rules of engagement and can be scheduled outside business hours. High-risk tests are only run with explicit approval.
Is the retest really included?
Yes. Once you have fixed the findings, we retest them and issue an updated report.
