A defined testing scope
Document in-scope applications, APIs, infrastructure, accounts, environments and rules of engagement.
Vulnerability assessment & penetration testing
Find the gaps.
Focus the fixes.
Reduce exposure.
Scope an authorised security assessment around the systems that matter to your business. Get findings your technical team can act on and priorities your leadership can understand.
A practical engagement
A useful assessment
ends with a decision.
Not just a scan.
A vulnerability assessment identifies potential weaknesses. Penetration testing goes further within an agreed scope to validate exploitation paths and their business impact.
Define the objective before testing: customer assurance, release readiness, infrastructure changes or risk reduction. Agree the authorised targets, timing, excluded activities and escalation contacts.
What you receive
Clear work.
Useful outputs.
Agree what success means, who owns each action and what evidence is needed before the work starts.
Evidence-based findings
Record reproducible evidence and distinguish validated issues from unconfirmed scanner output.
A prioritised action plan
Explain severity, exposure, business context, affected assets and practical remediation steps.
A retest decision
Agree which fixes will be rechecked, the retest window and how remaining risk will be recorded.
A penetration test is a point-in-time assessment within defined boundaries, not a guarantee that every weakness will be found. This offer does not include live SOC or network monitoring. Testing is scheduled only after delivery resources and authorisation are confirmed.
Your pathway
Know what
happens next.
Scope, responsibilities and checkpoints are agreed around your business needs.
Plan the engagement ↗01
Agree the boundaries
Confirm written authorisation, assets, safe testing windows and escalation procedures.
02
Assess & validate
Perform the agreed assessment and validate relevant findings within the approved rules.
03
Explain & improve
Review the results with technical and business stakeholders, and agree remediation and retesting.
How to assess a provider
Ask to see the quality of the deliverable.
Before commissioning, request a sanitised sample report, the proposed testers’ relevant credentials and the agreed escalation and retest approach.
Discuss the proposed delivery ↗Expertise that fits your business.
- Project leadership and agreed availability
- Relevant expertise and credentials to review
- Scope-specific deliverables and responsibilities
- Clear distinction between consulting and independent assurance
Questions worth asking
Make an
informed choice.
What is the difference between a scan and a penetration test?
A scan helps identify possible vulnerabilities at scale. A penetration test involves scoped validation of attack paths and impact by qualified testers. Agree the methods and deliverables so an automated scan is not mistaken for a full penetration test.
Can you test production systems?
The decision depends on authorisation, operational risk and the nature of the test. The rules of engagement should specify permitted techniques, testing windows, exclusions, monitoring contacts and a stop procedure before any activity begins.
Will a VAPT report certify PCI DSS compliance?
No. A technical test report can contribute evidence where required, but it does not by itself establish PCI DSS compliance or replace the applicable validation process. Any QSA or ASV requirement must be scoped with the appropriate independent provider.
