VAPT
Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing
VAPT combines automated vulnerability scanning with expert manual penetration testing to identify security weaknesses before attackers do. Our team delivers OWASP-based comprehensive assessments.

Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing
The Problem
Attackers probe your systems daily. If you are not testing like they attack, you find out about holes the same time they do, after the breach.

- Report
What You Get
- assessors
- OWASP Top 10 coverage
- Manual and automated testing
- Detailed vulnerability report

Why weeks, not months
AI-assisted evidence review, one client portal
Every VAPT engagement runs on the Praxis-Q compliance platform. You upload evidence per control, AI scores it against the requirement, and your auditor reviews in the same workflow — from scoping through to the issued, publicly verifiable certificate.
AI evidence scoring
Every upload is scored against the control before an auditor sees it — gaps surface in minutes, not at the review meeting.
One client portal
Scoping, evidence, auditor queries and status live in one place. No email chains, no spreadsheet trackers.
Auditor sign-off
Praxis-Q auditors review inside the same workflow, so review rounds shrink and the certificate issues sooner.
What Is VAPT and Why It Matters
VAPT combines two complementary approaches: Vulnerability Assessment identifies potential weaknesses through automated scanning and manual review, while Penetration Testing actively exploits those vulnerabilities to assess real-world impact. Together, they provide complete visibility into your security posture. Attackers don't wait for your annual audit—they probe continuously. Praxis-Q's VAPT services ensure you find and fix vulnerabilities before malicious actors do. Our methodology aligns with OWASP Top 10, PTES standards, and regulatory frameworks like PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, and RBI-SAR. Whether you're defending cloud infrastructure, web applications, mobile platforms, or network segments, VAPT is the proven method to quantify risk and prioritize remediation efforts effectively.
Our VAPT Assessment Methodology
Praxis-Q follows a structured five-phase approach: Reconnaissance gathers system intelligence through passive and active techniques; Vulnerability Scan employs industry-leading automated tools to detect known weaknesses; Manual Testing applies expert judgment to discover logic flaws and exploitation chains; Analysis assigns CVSS severity scores and business impact ratings; Report delivery includes detailed findings, proof-of-concept evidence, and prioritized remediation steps. Our India-based team combines global expertise with fast-track delivery—completing comprehensive assessments within 7-10 days. We conduct re-testing after your fixes to validate remediation and measure security improvement. Each assessment is tailored to your environment, compliance requirements, and risk tolerance, ensuring relevance and actionability.
VAPT Across Applications, Networks, and Cloud
VAPT isn't one-size-fits-all. Praxis-Q specializes in vertical assessments: Web application security testing uncovers injection flaws, authentication bypasses, and API vulnerabilities; Network penetration testing identifies misconfigurations, lateral movement paths, and data exfiltration risks; Mobile app assessments discover client-side weaknesses and API abuse vectors; Cloud security assessments validate access controls, storage configurations, and multi-tenant isolation. Each domain requires specialized tools and techniques. Our assessors are certified across these verticals, ensuring comprehensive coverage whether you're securing SaaS platforms, on-premise infrastructure, or hybrid environments. We deliver compliance-aligned reports acceptable to auditors for ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and GDPR certifications.
Compliance Requirements and Regulatory Alignment
VAPT is mandatory under multiple frameworks: PCI-DSS requires annual external penetration testing and quarterly scans; ISO 27001 mandates regular vulnerability assessments; SOC 2 requires periodic security testing; HIPAA and GDPR demand risk assessments before data processing; RBI-SAR guidelines require banks and fintech firms to conduct penetration testing quarterly. Praxis-Q's VAPT reports include compliance evidence, executive summaries, and remediation tracking suitable for regulatory submissions. Our global delivery model serves organizations across India, USA, UK, UAE, Australia, Canada, Singapore, and EU markets, meeting local regulatory expectations and audit requirements. We align assessments with your compliance calendar and provide re-testing validation to support certification maintenance.
Actionable Remediation and Continuous Improvement
A VAPT report is only valuable if acted upon. Praxis-Q provides detailed remediation guidance with estimated effort, priority ranking, and tactical/strategic improvement paths. Our remediation roadmap helps you allocate resources effectively. Post-assessment, we offer re-testing services to validate your fixes and measure security maturity improvement. Many clients leverage VAPT as a baseline for annual security benchmarking, tracking vulnerability trends, mean-time-to-remediation (MTTR), and attack surface reduction. We integrate VAPT findings with vulnerability management, SOC operations, and vCISO advisory services to ensure continuous security evolution. This holistic approach transforms VAPT from a compliance checkbox into a strategic tool for building resilient, defensible systems.
