VAPT Services
Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) combines vulnerability assessment, which identifies weaknesses, with penetration testing, which tests whether weaknesses can be exploited. Aadit's assessments cover networks, web and mobile applications, and cloud environments, with prioritised findings and remediation recommendations.
Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) combines two complementary security tests. A vulnerability assessment systematically scans your systems for known weaknesses, while penetration testing actively exploits them to reveal real-world impact. Together they give you a prioritised, evidence-based view of your security posture across systems, applications, and networks.
Our expert team uses industry-leading methodologies and tools to simulate real-world attacks, giving you a clear picture of where your gaps lie and the guidance to close them — before an attacker finds them first.
The VAPT Process: A Step-by-Step Approach
- Planning & Scope Definition — agree the systems, applications, and networks in scope.
- Information Gathering — map your environment, topology, and configurations.
- Vulnerability Scanning — run automated scans to surface known weaknesses.
- Vulnerability Analysis — validate findings and prioritise the most critical issues.
- Penetration Testing — safely exploit vulnerabilities to gauge real-world impact.
- Reporting — deliver a prioritised report with findings and remediation guidance.
- Remediation Support — provide hands-on guidance to fix what we find.
- Retesting — confirm that fixes have fully resolved the issues.
Vulnerability Assessment vs. Penetration Testing
An assessment identifies potential weaknesses in a defined scope, often using scanning and configuration review. A penetration test attempts to validate whether weaknesses can be exploited under agreed rules of engagement. Neither guarantees that every weakness has been found. NIST's testing guide describes planning tests, analysing findings and developing mitigation strategies. See the VAPT glossary comparison for a side-by-side explanation, or request a scoped assessment.
Compliance and Standards
Our VAPT services help you meet requirements across:
- GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)
- HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act)
- PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard)
- ISO 27001 (Information Security Management)
- SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls)
VAPT Pricing
VAPT pricing depends on the assets in scope, the complexity of your environment, testing depth, access, reporting and retesting. We agree these requirements before pricing an engagement; no fixed package rate applies to every environment. Get in touch for a custom quote.

Scope with confidence
Before you engage a vapt services provider
A useful engagement begins with a clear view of the systems, owners, business priorities, and evidence that should be in scope. This helps keep the work focused on decisions and improvements your team can act on.
Consideration 1: Map the applications, infrastructure, identities, and data that support critical operations.
Consideration 2: Use risk assessments and testing to identify the most material control gaps before committing to tools or remediation projects.
Consideration 3: Set clear ownership, escalation paths, and evidence requirements so improvements can be sustained and measured.
