VAPT — Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing
Authorised vulnerability assessment and penetration testing that finds, validates and clearly reports security weaknesses in web applications, APIs and infrastructure.
Overview
About VAPT
Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) helps an organisation understand where its systems can be attacked before someone with bad intent finds out. A vulnerability assessment identifies and prioritises known weaknesses. Penetration testing goes further by validating whether those weaknesses can actually be used to reach systems or data, under agreed rules.
Cybethix approaches VAPT as an authorised, scoped and report-driven exercise. Testing is carried out only on systems you own or are permitted to test, and the outcome is a clear, risk-focused report that your technical and management teams can act on.
Scope
What the service covers
- Vulnerability assessment of in-scope systems
- Penetration testing to validate real-world exploitability
- Web application security testing
- API security testing, where appropriate
- Infrastructure testing, where applicable
- Security validation of identified issues
- Risk-focused reporting
- Remediation-oriented findings your team can act on
Engagements
Typical engagement areas
Where this service is most often applied. Scope is always agreed with you first.
- Web applications and customer or employee portals
- APIs and back-end services
- Authentication, authorisation and session handling
- Servers and network infrastructure, where in scope
- Re-testing of fixed issues, where agreed
Process
How the process works
Step 1: Scoping
We agree what is being tested, the objectives, the boundaries and the testing window.
Step 2: Authorization
Written permission is confirmed before any testing begins, so everything stays within agreed rules.
Step 3: Reconnaissance
We gather information about the in-scope systems to understand the exposed surface.
Step 4: Assessment
Systems are assessed for vulnerabilities and weaknesses using a mix of tooling and manual analysis.
Step 5: Validation
Findings are validated to separate real, exploitable issues from noise.
Step 6: Reporting
A clear report explains each finding, its risk and the area it affects.
Step 7: Remediation Guidance
Practical recommendations help your team fix the issues and reduce the risk.
Who the service is suitable for
- Organisations that run web applications, portals or APIs
- Teams preparing a product or system for release
- Businesses that want an independent view of their security posture
- Teams that need a clear record of risks and fixes
Security outcomes and focus
- A clear picture of exploitable weaknesses in the tested scope
- Findings ranked by risk so effort goes where it matters
