VAPT is not a checkbox exercise. Organisations that treat vulnerability assessment and penetration testing as a single, integrated process gain a complete and accurate picture of their security posture understanding not just what vulnerabilities exist, but how far an attacker can actually go when they exploit them.

VAPT for Regulatory Compliance — PCI DSS, ISO 27001, SOC 2, and HIPAA

Most regulatory frameworks do not just recommend VAPT — quite a few even mandate it. PCI DSS Requirement 11.3 calls for penetration testing and a vulnerability assessment to be conducted annually by any organization that processes cardholder data. Vulnerability management must be carried out systematically, according to the ISO 27001 Annex A controls. SOC 2 Type II auditors will require you to provide them with proof that you conduct regular security testing of the systems within the audit scope. The HIPAA Security Rule mandates that technical evaluations of information system operations be done at regular intervals. OraSec's VAPT services result in compliance-ready documents that are consistent with each of these regulatory frameworks. Therefore, it is a great convenience to you security, compliance, and legal teams' audit evidence needs that they can be met without having to get a separate assessment for each requirement.

VAPT for Fintech, Healthcare, and Enterprise — Industry-Specific Risk Coverage

VAPT is not universal. Risks such as exploitation of payment systems, abuse of APIs, and the integration of open banking pose challenges to fintech organisations and to find such require testing of financial infrastructures. Healthcare sector will be dealing with issues like exposure of PHI, connectivity of medical devices, and vulnerability of EHR systems, that is, the systems which are compliant with HIPAA regulations. Large companies own an environment where vulnerabilities such as the possibility for compromise of Active Directory, simulation of lateral movements, and supply chain access points can be exploited, which are definitely not cover by generic VAPT engagements. OraSec's approach is to tailor each VAPT engagement to your industry's particular threats rather than using the same generic checklist for all clients.

Why VAPT is Important

Vulnerability scanners that are automated, can only discover vulnerabilities that are already in the database of the scanner. Although these types of scanners may find the vulnerabilities present, they are not able to determine the extent to which they could be practically exploited, the possibility of a series of attacks leading to a major compromise, or the consequences for the business. Penetration testing only, with no vulnerability assessments, may miss some areas of vulnerability systematically. When combined in one unified VAPT engagement, both approaches complement each other's shortcomings as completely identifying vulnerabilities through validation by real world exploits is the common ground.

Orasec's VAPT approach proves that vulnerability assessment is methodical yet combined with expert penetration testing ensures that the vulnerabilities identified are not only listed but also objectively validated by exploitation and risk prioritisation according to the actual level of threat to your organisation.

Vulnerability Assessment vs Penetration Testing

Vulnerability Assessment

Vulnerability assessment is a systematic process of identifying, classifying, and prioritising security weaknesses across systems, networks, and applications. It provides broad coverage of known vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and security gaps using automated tools combined with expert analysis and manual verification.

Penetration Testing

Penetration testing goes further by actively exploiting identified vulnerabilities to confirm real world impact, simulate attacker behaviour, and demonstrate how far an attacker can move through your environment following initial compromise. It answers the question automated scanning cannot how bad can it actually get.

VAPT delivers the systematic coverage of vulnerability assessment with the real world validation of penetration testing in a single integrated engagement. Organisations gain complete vulnerability identification, confirmed exploitability, attack path documentation, and risk prioritised remediation guidance across their entire attack surface.

Our VAPT Solutions

Network VAPT:

We thoroughly assess and test the vulnerabilities of the internal and external network infrastructure which includes firewalls, routers, switches, VPNs, and network services, among others. The testing helps in locating misconfigurations, systems unpatched, weak access controls, and lateral movement paths in the network environments.

Web Application VAPT:

Our web application VAPT provides a complete vulnerability assessment and penetration testing of the web applications, APIs, and web services. The web application testing finds injection vulnerabilities, broken authentication, access control failures, insecure data handling, and business logic errors in both customer-facing and internal web application environments.

Cloud Infrastructure VAPT:

Through analysis, we uncover and reveal hidden major risks and security loopholes like insecure IAM controls, exposed storage, over privilege, and many more in the customers cloud environments. We blend the automated cloud security testing tools with skilled manual evaluation and have an active exploitation phase of the vulnerabilities found.

Mobile Application VAPT:

The scope of our mobile VAPT includes checking iOS and Android applications for insecure data storage, weak authentication, unprotected API communications, exposure to reverse engineering, and vulnerabilities in the backend infrastructure of both consumer and enterprise mobile application environments.

Active Directory VAPT:

We help customers penetrate their networks and try to establish a foothold to check the strength of their defenses. Our experts scour the environment for paths leading to privilege escalation, ways that attacking the Kerberos system could be feasible, and opportunities for lateral movement which could lead to progressively deeper network compromises. We look at the ways these aspects could be combined and misused to pwn and gain unauthorized access to the network.

API VAPT:

Our API VAPT service includes penetration testing of REST, GraphQL, and SOAP APIs for broken authentication, excessive data exposure, injection vulnerabilities, rate limiting failures, and access control weaknesses across both internal and external API surfaces.

Our VAPT Methodology

  1. 1

    Scoping and Attack Surface Definition:

    Engagement scope, target systems, testing boundaries, and business context are defined to ensure VAPT coverage aligns with organisational risk priorities and testing objectives.

  2. 2

    Automated Vulnerability Scanning:

    Comprehensive automated scanning identifies known vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, outdated software, and security gaps across all in scope systems and applications. Scan results are reviewed and validated by certified testers to eliminate false positives before active testing begins.

  3. 3

    Manual Vulnerability Assessment:

    Expert manual assessment extends beyond automated scanning to identify logic flaws, chained vulnerabilities, contextual misconfigurations, and security weaknesses that automated tools do not detect across application, network, and infrastructure layers.

  4. 4

    Active Exploitation and Penetration Testing:

    Confirmed vulnerabilities are actively exploited to validate real world impact, demonstrate attack chain potential, and simulate attacker behaviour following initial compromise. Exploitation confirms which vulnerabilities represent genuine risk versus theoretical findings.

  5. 5

    Lateral Movement and Privilege Escalation:

    Following initial exploitation, testers simulate attacker behaviour across the environment moving laterally, escalating privileges, and identifying paths to high value systems, sensitive data, and critical infrastructure.

  6. 6

    Risk Prioritisation and Reporting:

    All findings are risk ranked by confirmed exploitability, business impact, and remediation effort. Reporting delivers actionable, prioritised guidance that security and development teams can act on immediately.
