Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing
Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing enables organizations to better protect its systems and data from malicious attacks
The Challenge
Attackers aim to find and exploit weaknesses in your infrastructure and applications and remain undetected in order to achieve their goals of data theft or holding your business for ransom.
The Solution
We provide penetration testing and vulnerability assessment services that can help your company reduce the risk of the significant financial, operational, and reputational losses that can result from a breach. Upon completion of our assessment, we will provide a detailed report with key findings, vulnerabilities, and remediation techniques to enhance your company’s security and regulatory posture.

your IT Security Weaknesses Before Hackers do
Identify the security vulnerabilities in your environment and provide a roadmap of activities to prevent network compromise and effectively safeguard your systems and data.
The True Impact of Cyber Crime
A Cyberattack is no longer a question of ‘if’ – it’s a matter of ‘when’. The size of an organization is immaterial in the world of cyber-criminality: vulnerability is the issue. Once a data breach happens, it often exposes sensitive information that leaves affected users at risk for identity theft and a decline in reputation and often results in regulatory compliance fines. Organizations must defend their networks, systems, applications and users against several major cybersecurity threats.
BREACH
70% of breaches were caused by outsiders.
FINANCE
86% of breaches were financially motivated.
MALWARE
17% of breaches involved some form of malware
PHISHING
22% of breaches featured phishing or social engineering.
What is Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing (VAPT OR PenTesting)?
VAPT stands for Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing. It is a security testing to identify security vulnerabilities in an application, network, endpoint, and cloud. Both the Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing have unique strengths and are often collectively done to achieve complete analysis. Vulnerability Assessment scans the digital assets and notifies organizations about pre-existing flaws. Penetration test exploits the vulnerabilities in the system & determines the security gaps.
How Can You Benefit From PenTesting?
Cybercriminals are using strategies and tactics that are constantly evolving. In order to ensure your network remains safe at all times, it is imperative that it goes through periodic vulnerability assessment and testing.
You Can Benefit from Penetration Testing as follows:
- Avoid revenue loss and reputational damage. In the case of a data breach, your company’s reputation will suffer, which usually leads to a loss of customer confidence and causes a drop in revenue.
- Proactively identify vulnerabilities. Employing application penetration testing services helps identify the major exploitable vulnerabilities. It helps to reveal the risk your company is exposed to and its impacts.
- Expose the real-world attack vectors that could impact an organization’s IT assets, data, and security. By modelling a real attack against the target system, it is possible to have an unbiased look at the company’s protection level and check whether its security mechanisms are effective in practice.
- Validate existing controls and develop guidelines for remediation. Any identified vulnerabilities will be given remediation techniques applied immediately to ensure your IT infrastructure is properly protected.
- Meet regulatory requirements. Apart from delivering a 360° visibility into organizational security weaknesses and throwing light on the necessary security solution, VAPT also supports your need to meet compliance such as GDPR, PCI DSS and ISO 27001
- Avoid business disruptions. No business is immune from cyber-attack, so scheduling regular security assessments is a way to help prevent interruptions to normal business operations.
Is PenTesting Disruptive to Our Environment? Will Our Systems Go Down?
Penetration tests are thoroughly planned and coordinated to avoid any disruption. However, we always recommend our clients to target a test environment or take care of the data backup. Thus, we are able to minimize potential risks beforehand.
How Often Should a Penetration Test Be Done?
Penetration testing services should be used regularly, at least once a year, to check if the new attack scenarios/vulnerabilities have come into sight, or after introducing major changes to the system.
Phases of Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing
Our methodology involves the following five key penetration testing stages
Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing Services
External Pentesting Services
External Penetration Testing services for those who are ready for a real-world cybersecurity challenge. External pentests examine your cyber security defenses by employing expert skills and advanced penetration testing tools. Check if your security investment paid off!
Internal Pentesting Services
Internal Penetration Testing services allow you to validate your operating system, network, and corporate software security measures against an attacker who has already gained a foothold in your organization. Test your defenses against persistent threats.
Social Engineering Pentesting
Social Engineering Penetration Testing goes far beyond classic network penetration testing. Instead of brute force attacks and technical exploits, security professionals run phishing email campaigns and other types of social engineering attacks.
Red Team Assessment
Red Team security testing is different from a pentest as it lacks a fixed scope definition and requires a Blue Team to be present. Our red team penetration testing services allow you to continuously train and measure the performance of your cyber defense experts.
