What is VAPT?
VAPT stands for Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing. It combines systematic vulnerability discovery with controlled exploitation to identify security weaknesses, validate business risk, and prioritize remediation.
Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing
Comprehensive security testing across web, mobile, network, and cloud environments — identifying weaknesses before attackers can exploit them.
VAPT Guide
VAPT Questions Answered
How is VAPT different from penetration testing?
A vulnerability assessment identifies and classifies weaknesses. Penetration testing validates whether selected weaknesses can be exploited. VAPT combines both activities so teams receive a broader risk view and practical proof of impact.
What systems can be tested?
ETEK can assess web applications, mobile applications, APIs, internal and external networks, cloud infrastructure, containers, identity configurations, and selected operational environments based on scope and authorization.
What does a VAPT report include?
A VAPT report typically includes an executive summary, scope, methodology, risk ratings, evidence, affected assets, business impact, remediation guidance, and retest status after fixes are applied.
Methodology
VAPT Delivery Process
Scope and Authorization
Define target systems, testing windows, access levels, exclusions, success criteria, and authorization boundaries before testing begins.
Assessment and Testing
Run vulnerability discovery, manual validation, controlled exploitation, configuration review, and risk analysis across the approved scope.
Reporting and Remediation
Deliver prioritized findings with evidence, business impact, remediation guidance, and a practical fix sequence for technical teams.
Retesting
Validate resolved findings after remediation to confirm that fixes are effective and that critical risks are closed.

FAQ
Common Questions About VAPT
A focused VAPT engagement often takes 1 to 4 weeks depending on scope, number of applications or assets, test depth, environment readiness, documentation availability, and retesting needs.
Yes. API testing can be included for authentication, authorization, input validation, rate limiting, data exposure, business logic, and integration security risks.
Yes. VAPT can support security assurance, audit readiness, risk management, and compliance programs by providing documented evidence of testing, risk prioritization, remediation actions, and retest outcomes.
ETEK provides a prioritized report with evidence and remediation guidance. After the client applies fixes, a retest can confirm whether the vulnerabilities have been resolved.
