Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing (VAPT)
Identify exploitable weaknesses across infrastructure and applications, validate real-world impact, and receive a clear remediation plan aligned to common compliance requirements (ISO/IEC 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS, NIST CSF, and PH Data Privacy Act).
Service overview
What VAPT covers
Our VAPT engagements combine vulnerability assessment (broad discovery) with penetration testing (controlled exploitation) to confirm business impact and prioritize fixes.
Infrastructure (External & Internal)
Perimeter and internal network testing to identify exposed services, misconfigurations, weak authentication, segmentation gaps, and privilege escalation paths.
Wireless (WiFi)
Assessment of wireless authentication, encryption, rogue access points, and client isolation to reduce unauthorized access risk.
Applications (Web, API, Mobile, Client-Server)
Testing for auth/session issues, injection, access control flaws, business logic abuse, insecure storage, and insecure communications—documented with reproducible evidence.
AI / LLM-enabled applications
Threat modeling and testing for prompt injection, data leakage, insecure tool use, weak access controls, and model abuse scenarios—paired with practical guardrails.
What’s included
Scope options and testing activities
Engagements are tailored to your environment and audit needs. Typical inclusions are below.
Scoping & rules of engagement
Define targets, testing windows, exclusions, and success criteria. Align on evidence handling and reporting format.
Asset discovery & vulnerability assessment
Enumerate services and configurations, identify known vulnerabilities, and validate exposure with safe checks.
Manual penetration testing
Controlled exploitation to confirm impact (e.g., unauthorized access, data exposure, privilege escalation).
Application security testing
OWASP-aligned testing for web/API/mobile, including auth, access control, injection, and business logic abuse.
Risk rating & compliance mapping
Prioritize findings by likelihood and impact, and map to common control domains for audit evidence.
Remediation guidance & retest option
Actionable fixes with verification steps. Optional retest to confirm closure of critical findings.
Methodology
CLEAR Pentesting Approach
A repeatable workflow that keeps testing controlled, evidence-driven, and aligned to risk reduction.
C — Confirm scope & critical assets
Kickoff, asset validation, threat assumptions, and rules of engagement. We confirm what matters most to the business and what “success” looks like.
L — Locate exposures & attack paths
Discovery, enumeration, and vulnerability assessment to identify likely entry points and paths to sensitive systems and data.
E — Exploit safely to validate impact
Controlled exploitation and chaining of weaknesses to demonstrate real-world impact while maintaining safety and agreed boundaries.
A/R — Analyze risk & report clearly
We translate technical findings into business risk, map to control domains, and deliver a clear remediation plan with priorities and next steps.
Deliverables
What you receive
Executive summary
Business impact
Risk overview, key themes, and prioritized recommendations for leadership and stakeholders.
Technical report
Reproducible evidence
Finding details, affected assets/endpoints, proof-of-concept, and step-by-step remediation guidance.
Compliance mapping
Audit-ready
Mappings to common frameworks (ISO/IEC 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS, NIST CSF) and PH Data Privacy Act-aligned control domains.
Letter of Attestation
Formal letter confirming the scope and completion of the engagement—useful for internal governance and audit evidence.
Technical Details Spreadsheet
Spreadsheet view of findings and affected assets/endpoints to support remediation tracking and reporting.
Delivery package

Optional add-ons: retest/verification report, remediation workshop, and stakeholder readout.
Typical timelines
Timelines depend on scope, number of targets, and testing windows. We provide a schedule during scoping and keep you updated throughout the engagement.
Most engagements follow a simple cadence: kickoff and access setup → testing → reporting → readout. Retesting can be scheduled after remediation.
