Security & Compliance

Penetration testing that shows you what attackers see, before they do.

We test your web applications, APIs, cloud infrastructure and AI features the way a real attacker would, and hand you a clear, prioritised report with help fixing what we find.

  • AWS Advanced Tier Services Partner
  • ISO 27001 certified

In short

VA2PT's Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) service finds security weaknesses in web applications, APIs, AWS, Azure and Google Cloud infrastructure and LLM-based features before attackers do. We combine in-depth reconnaissance, automated scanning and manual exploitation based on OWASP and PTES methods, including the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications, then deliver a concise report that ranks every finding by severity and helps you implement the fixes. VA2PT is ISO 27001 certified.

Vulnerability assessment, penetration test or VAPT?

Buyers often ask for one and need the other. This is how the three differ and when each is enough.

Sound familiar?

  • Unknown exposure

    You cannot fix vulnerabilities you do not know about, and attackers only need to find one.

  • Reports nobody can use

    Long, jargon-heavy scanner output leaves developers unsure what to fix first or how.

  • Customers and auditors ask for proof

    Enterprise buyers and frameworks like ISO 27001 and SOC 2 expect regular, independent security testing.

What we do

The work inside VAPT, run by senior engineers.

  • Web application penetration testing

    We test for the OWASP Top 10 and beyond, including authentication, access control, injection and business logic flaws.

  • API security testing

    We test REST and GraphQL APIs against the OWASP API Security Top 10 to find data leaks and broken authorisation.

  • Cloud infrastructure assessment

    We review your AWS, Azure or Google Cloud setup for exposed services, excessive permissions and misconfigurations that could lead to data loss.

  • AI and LLM application testing

    We test chatbots, copilots and agents against the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications, including prompt injection, sensitive data disclosure and excessive agency.

  • Clear, actionable reporting

    Our reports are concise, back each finding with evidence, explain what worked and rank exploits by criticality.

  • Remediation support and re-test

    We help your team implement fixes in your cloud platform and re-test to confirm each issue is closed.

How the engagement runs

  1. 1

    Scope and plan

    We agree on targets, rules of engagement, test windows and credentials, and sign off on authorisation.

  2. 2

    Reconnaissance and assessment

    We gather information to map your attack surface, run automated scans and identify likely vulnerabilities across the agreed scope.

  3. 3

    Exploitation and reporting

    We manually confirm and exploit findings, then deliver a report ranked by severity with fix guidance.

  4. 4

    Remediate and re-test

    We support your team through fixes and re-test to confirm each vulnerability is resolved.

What you get

  • Scope and rules of engagement document
  • Executive summary for leadership

Questions buyers ask

What is VAPT?

Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) combines two security checks. A vulnerability assessment uses scanning and review to find as many weaknesses as possible. A penetration test goes further: testers try to exploit those weaknesses as a real attacker would, proving what an attacker could actually reach. Together they give a complete, realistic picture of your security risk.

What methodology do you follow?

Our testing follows recognised methods, including the OWASP Web Security Testing Guide, the OWASP Top 10, API Security Top 10 and Top 10 for LLM Applications, and the Penetration Testing Execution Standard (PTES). Every engagement starts with reconnaissance to map the attack surface, followed by automated scanning, manual testing and exploitation, and ends with reporting and a re-test.

Do you test cloud environments on Azure and Google Cloud, not just AWS?

Yes. Cloud assessments cover AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud, using tools such as Prowler and ScoutSuite alongside manual review. We look at identity and access, exposed storage and services, network rules, logging gaps and paths an attacker could use to move from a compromised application into your cloud accounts. Each provider's rules for penetration testing are followed.

Which Indian regulations and audits ask for VAPT?

Most of our Indian clients test because a regulator or auditor requires it: RBI guidelines for banks, NBFCs and payment systems, SEBI's Cyber Security and Cyber Resilience Framework (CSCRF) for market participants, IRDAI rules for insurers, CERT-In's security testing guidance, PCI DSS for card data, and SOC 2 or ISO 27001 audits where a periodic penetration test is the expected evidence. Our scoping and reports are structured around those requirements, so the same engagement satisfies the auditor and gives your engineers a fix list. If a regulation specifically requires a CERT-In empanelled auditor, we will tell you up front and help you plan the audit accordingly.

Will testing disrupt our production systems?

We agree on rules of engagement before starting, including which systems are in scope, test windows and any techniques to avoid. Where possible, we test against a staging environment that mirrors production. Potentially disruptive tests, such as heavy load, are only run with your explicit approval, and we keep a direct line to your team throughout.

What does the VAPT report include?

You receive an executive summary for leadership and a technical report for engineers. Each finding includes a description, evidence, a severity rating, affected components and clear remediation steps. Findings are ranked by criticality so your team fixes the most serious issues first. After fixes, we re-test and issue an updated report and an attestation letter you can share with customers and auditors.

How often should we run a penetration test?

At least once a year, and after major changes such as a new product, significant architecture changes, a cloud migration or a new AI feature. Many compliance frameworks and enterprise customers expect annual testing. Between tests, continuous scanning through DevSecOps or our managed security service helps catch new issues as they appear.
