About VAPT
What is VAPT (Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing)?
VAPT is a combination of two powerful cybersecurity testing methods — Vulnerability Assessment (VA) and Penetration Testing (PT). Together they identify security weaknesses in your IT systems and test how far a real attacker could exploit them. Think of it as hiring an ethical hacker to find every gap in your defenses before a criminal does. With VAPT, you get a complete picture of your security risks — and a clear roadmap to fix them.
Vulnerability Assessment (VA) – What It Does
Vulnerability Assessment is the process of scanning and identifying known security weaknesses across your systems, networks, applications, and infrastructure. It uses automated tools and manual checks to build a comprehensive list of vulnerabilities ranked by severity — critical, high, medium, and low — giving your team a prioritized list of what needs fixing first.
Penetration Testing (PT) – What It Does– What Changed?
Penetration Testing goes a step further. Our certified ethical hackers actively attempt to exploit the identified vulnerabilities — just like a real attacker would. This proves which vulnerabilities are actually dangerous, how deep an attacker could penetrate your systems, and what data or assets are truly at risk. It converts theory into evidence.
VA vs PT – What Is the Difference?
Many organizations confuse VA and PT. Vulnerability Assessment finds and lists weaknesses — it is broad and automated. Penetration Testing exploits those weaknesses to prove real-world impact — it is targeted and manual. VAPT combines both: a complete scan followed by active exploitation. You need both to truly understand and validate your security posture.

F.A.Q
Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about VAPT services? Here are the answers our clients ask most often.
What is VAPT?
VAPT stands for Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing. It is a comprehensive cybersecurity testing process that identifies security weaknesses in your IT systems and then actively tests how far an attacker could exploit them. At JS Certification, we conduct VAPT using certified ethical hackers who follow industry-standard methodologies to give you a real picture of your security posture.
How much does VAPT cost in India?
The cost of VAPT in India depends on the scope of testing — number of IPs, web applications, APIs, and environments included. A basic web application VAPT can start from ₹25,000, while a comprehensive enterprise VAPT engagement covering networks, apps, and cloud can range up to ₹5,00,000 or more. We first understand your requirements and then provide a fair, transparent, and detailed cost estimate.
How long does VAPT take?
VAPT typically takes 7 to 30 days depending on the scope. A single web application VAPT may be completed in 5 to 7 working days. A comprehensive enterprise VAPT covering networks, applications, APIs, and cloud environments may take 3 to 4 weeks. Our team provides a clear timeline before engagement begins.
What is the difference between black box, grey box, and white box testing?
In black box testing, the tester has no prior knowledge of the system — simulating a complete outsider attack. In grey box testing, the tester has partial information such as user credentials — simulating an insider or authenticated user threat. In white box testing, full system access and documentation is provided — allowing the deepest and most thorough assessment. We recommend grey box for most web application and network engagements.
Is VAPT mandatory for ISO 27001?
ISO 27001 Annex A Control A.12.6 and A.14.2 require organizations to assess and test their systems for technical vulnerabilities regularly. While the standard does not explicitly mandate VAPT by name, most certification auditors expect evidence of technical security testing. VAPT is the most recognized way to satisfy this requirement and is highly recommended during ISO 27001 implementation.
Will VAPT disrupt my business operations?
No — when conducted by professionals, VAPT does not disrupt your operations. We define testing windows (after hours or weekends if required), agree on rules of engagement before testing begins, and maintain constant communication throughout the engagement. Our team is experienced in conducting VAPT on live production environments safely and responsibly.
What do I get after VAPT is completed?
After VAPT, you receive a comprehensive report including: an executive summary for management, a detailed technical findings section with proof-of-concept evidence, CVSS-based risk ratings (Critical/High/Medium/Low), step-by-step remediation recommendations for every vulnerability, and a re-test after remediation to confirm fixes. We also provide a VAPT Closure Certificate once all critical and high findings are resolved.
Is VAPT required for RBI or SEBI regulated companies?
Yes. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and SEBI have issued cybersecurity frameworks and circulars that mandate periodic VAPT for banks, NBFCs, payment system operators, and regulated financial entities in India. Regular VAPT — typically annual or bi-annual — is a direct requirement for these organizations to maintain regulatory compliance.
