VAPT (Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing) Compliance

Executive Summary

Exhaustive technical penetration testing verifying defense against OWASP Top 10 and zero-day threats.

Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) is a rigorous security audit procedure combining automated flaw scanning with manual ethical hacking to identify, exploit, and remediate application, API, and network vulnerabilities.

What VAPT Audit Covers

Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) is a rigorous security audit procedure combining automated flaw scanning with manual ethical hacking to identify, exploit, and remediate application, API, and network vulnerabilities.

Administered under strict accreditation guidelines by CERT-In Empanelled Security Auditor, this framework establishes formal operational protocols, rigorous continuous monitoring, and structured risk assessment routines across every engineering layer.

02.

Why VAPT Audit Matters for Clients

Deploying web and mobile applications without VAPT exposes enterprises to ransomware, SQL injection, logic flaws, and data leaks. IMA Appweb's VAPT clearance confirms that code passes stringent ethical hacking benchmarks before production launch.

Risk Mitigation & Defense

Protects client systems against data breaches, unauthorized access, ransomware, and operational downtime.

RFP & Regulatory Qualification

Satisfies vendor security requirements for enterprise, BFSI, healthcare, and government contracts.

03.

How IMA Appweb Implements VAPT Audit

IMA Appweb conducts static (SAST) and dynamic (DAST) security testing within automated deployment pipelines, followed by comprehensive manual penetration testing by CERT-In empanelled ethical hackers targeting OWASP Top 10 and SANS Top 25 vulnerabilities.

Framework Comparison

Automated scanners only find basic surface flaws; manual penetration testing within VAPT simulates sophisticated real-world hacker tactics, business logic bypasses, and multi-step privilege escalation attacks.

Frequently Asked Questions about VAPT Audit

Our VAPT audit strictly adheres to the OWASP Web Security Testing Guide (WSTG v4.2), OWASP Mobile Application Security Verification Standard (MASVS), PTES (Penetration Testing Execution Standard), and NIST SP 800-115.
Vulnerability Assessment (VA) identifies and catalogues security weaknesses using automated tools. Penetration Testing (PT) safely attempts to actively exploit those weaknesses to evaluate real-world attack impact and data exposure risks.
CERT-In (Indian Computer Emergency Response Team) empanelment means the security auditor is officially recognized by the Government of India to audit critical infrastructure, BFSI applications, and enterprise software.
A Safe-to-Host Certificate is issued after a VAPT audit confirms that all high, medium, and critical vulnerabilities have been remediated, certifying that the web application or API is secure for public hosting.
Yes. Our VAPT scope includes web frontends, mobile applications (iOS/Android), REST APIs, GraphQL endpoints, cloud server infrastructure, and third-party webhook integrations.
Enterprise applications should undergo VAPT annually, as well as after any major code refactoring, infrastructure migration, or architectural release.
Vulnerabilities are scored using the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS v3.1) into Critical, High, Medium, Low, and Informational categories, complete with remediation code patches.
We maintain continuous virtual patching through Web Application Firewalls (WAF), automated software dependency vulnerability scanning (Snyk/Dependabot), and rapid 24-hour security hotfixes.
