Assessment Process

VAPT Process

A useful VAPT is not a scanner export. It is a controlled assessment that confirms what can be exploited, explains why it matters, and gives the technical team a clear path to remediation.

1. Scope and authorization

The engagement starts with written scope: domains, IP addresses, APIs, applications, user roles, test windows, exclusions and points of contact. This keeps testing authorized, focused and aligned with business risk.

2. Asset and surface discovery

Public exposure, subdomains, login panels, APIs, cloud endpoints, remote services, SSL posture and obvious configuration issues are reviewed before deeper testing begins.

3. Automated coverage

Scanners and supporting tools are used for broad coverage, known vulnerability checks, configuration signals and repeatable discovery. Output is treated as input, not as the final report.

4. Manual validation

Manual testing focuses on authentication, authorization, business logic, role boundaries, file handling, API abuse, workflow bypass, sensitive data exposure and chained attack paths.

5. Evidence and risk analysis

Findings are validated with safe proof, affected assets, reproduction steps, impact, likelihood, severity, business context and practical remediation guidance.

6. Remediation support and retest

After fixes are applied, high-impact findings should be retested to confirm that the weakness is closed and that no partial fix leaves the original risk exploitable.
