Question 1

What is VAPT (Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing)?

Accepted Answer

VAPT is a comprehensive security audit combining automated vulnerability discovery (VA) to map potential weaknesses across networks, web applications, and cloud systems, with human-driven penetration testing (PT) to safely exploit verified vulnerabilities and demonstrate real-world impact.

Question 2

How much does a VAPT assessment cost in India?

Accepted Answer

VAPT pricing in India depends directly on target scope, application complexity, number of dynamic user roles, endpoints, and required manual depth. Small web application assessments start at ₹21,999 (excluding applicable GST), while multi-tier enterprise platforms and cloud architectures are scoped individually after reviewing technical assets.

Question 3

What is the difference between vulnerability scanning and manual penetration testing?

Accepted Answer

Automated vulnerability scanners check systems against known CVE signatures and misconfigurations, often producing false positives and missing business-logic flaws. Penetration testing uses certified offensive security engineers to manually chain vulnerabilities, bypass complex authentication flows, and validate business risk.

Question 4

How often should an organization conduct VAPT?

Accepted Answer

Industry standards and regulatory frameworks (such as RBI, SEBI, ISO 27001, and the DPDP Act) recommend annual VAPT at minimum, or quarterly for high-risk fintech and SaaS platforms, plus whenever significant code releases or architecture updates are deployed.

Question 5

What deliverables and documentation are provided upon completion?

Accepted Answer

Clients receive an executive summary for leadership, a detailed technical remediation report with reproducible proof-of-concept (PoC) steps, CVSS v3.1 risk scores, prioritized code-level fixes, and a complimentary retest within the agreed window to verify applied patches.

Question 6
