What Is VAPT — and Why Does Every Security-Conscious Business Need It?

VAPT (Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing) combines two complementary disciplines. A Vulnerability Assessment systematically identifies, quantifies, and prioritizes security weaknesses using automated scanning tools, manual analysis, and threat intelligence. A Penetration Test goes further — our ethical hackers actively exploit identified vulnerabilities to demonstrate their real-world impact and determine the actual risk to your business. Together, VAPT provides a comprehensive view of your attack surface from the perspective of an adversary — not a checklist. Unlike compliance-driven security that tells you what controls to implement, VAPT tells you whether your existing controls actually work under attack conditions. It's required by SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, and most cyber insurers — and it's the single most effective tool for preventing costly breaches.

Our VAPT Process

01

Scoping & Rules of Engagement

Define the systems, applications, and networks in scope. Agree on testing windows, out-of-scope elements, emergency contacts, and escalation procedures to ensure the test is thorough and safe.

02

Intelligence Gathering

Passive reconnaissance (OSINT) collects information about your attack surface from public sources. Active reconnaissance maps network topology, open ports, services, and technology fingerprints without triggering alarms.

03

Vulnerability Identification

Automated scanning tools identify known vulnerabilities. Manual analysis by our certified hackers finds the logic flaws, misconfigurations, and business process vulnerabilities that tools miss.

04

Exploitation & Impact Validation

We attempt to exploit identified vulnerabilities — distinguishing true positives from false positives and demonstrating the actual business impact: data accessible, systems controlled, accounts compromised.

05

Post-Exploitation Analysis

Where exploitation succeeds, we demonstrate lateral movement, privilege escalation, and data access paths — showing the full scope of what an attacker could achieve once inside your environment.

06

Reporting & Debrief

Deliver an executive summary (board-ready) and detailed technical report with CVSS scores, evidence, attack narratives, and step-by-step remediation guidance. We conduct a live debrief with your security and engineering teams.

07

Remediation Support & Free Retest

Our team supports your engineers in remediating findings. Once remediation is complete, we conduct a free retest of all critical and high findings to confirm they've been successfully resolved.

Business Impact

Why Get VAPT Certified?

Real Attacker Perspective

Our ethical hackers think and operate like adversaries — finding the vulnerabilities that automated tools miss and demonstrating their actual business impact.

Compliance Requirement Satisfied

Satisfy penetration testing requirements for SOC 2, PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and cyber insurance applications with a single, comprehensive engagement.

Prioritized Remediation

CVSS scores and business-context risk ratings help your team prioritize what to fix first — maximizing risk reduction per hour of engineering effort.

Free Retest on All Engagements

Every Norvex Assurance VAPT engagement includes a free retest of critical and high findings — so you can close the loop with confidence.

Developer Security Uplift

Code-level remediation guidance and secure coding recommendations upskill your engineering team with every engagement — reducing future vulnerability density.

Board & Cyber Insurance Ready

Executive summary reports provide board-ready evidence of your proactive security posture, and VAPT certificates support cyber insurance applications and renewals.

ISO 27001:2022 Annex A Controls — What They Cover and Why They Matter

The 93 Annex A controls form the operational backbone of your ISMS. Norvex Assurance helps you select, implement, and document the controls relevant to your scope through your Statement of Applicability (SoA).

Web Application VAPT

OWASP Top 10 + Custom Attack Scenarios

Comprehensive testing of web applications against the OWASP Top 10 and beyond — SQL injection, XSS, authentication bypass, IDOR, business logic flaws, and privilege escalation. We test authenticated and unauthenticated attack surfaces, covering every endpoint your users can reach and every endpoint they shouldn't.

API Penetration Testing

REST, GraphQL & SOAP APIs

APIs are the most common attack vector in modern applications — and the most frequently under-tested. We test REST, GraphQL, and SOAP APIs against the OWASP API Security Top 10, examining authentication, authorization, rate limiting, data exposure, and business logic vulnerabilities in your API layer.

Network Infrastructure Testing

Internal & External Network

External network testing maps your internet-facing attack surface and identifies exploitable vulnerabilities in firewalls, VPNs, exposed services, and perimeter controls. Internal testing simulates an insider or post-breach attacker, assessing lateral movement opportunities, privilege escalation paths, and data access controls.

Cloud Configuration Review

AWS, Azure & GCP

Cloud misconfigurations are responsible for the majority of cloud-related data breaches. We review your AWS, Azure, or GCP environment against CIS Benchmarks and cloud-specific attack patterns — assessing IAM permissions, storage access, network controls, logging, and encryption configurations.

Mobile Application Testing

iOS & Android

Mobile applications introduce unique attack surfaces including insecure data storage, improper session management, binary reversing, and API key exposure. We test iOS and Android applications against the OWASP Mobile Top 10, covering both static analysis and dynamic runtime testing.

Red Team & Social Engineering

Advanced Adversary Simulation

Red team engagements simulate sophisticated, goal-oriented attackers targeting your people, processes, and technology simultaneously. Social engineering testing includes phishing simulations, vishing, and physical security scenarios — identifying your human vulnerabilities before real adversaries do.
