Vulnerability Assessment
and Penetration Testing
Here's why VAPT is essential for your IT infrastructure, web and mobile applications, and APIs:
⇒ Risk Mitigation: Think of VAPT as a thorough security audit for your systems, uncovering hidden vulnerabilities before they can be exploited. By proactively identifying and addressing these weaknesses, you can significantly reduce the risk of cyberattacks. This approach aligns seamlessly with the risk management principles of GDPR, ISO, and NIST frameworks.
⇒ GDPR Compliance: Meeting the stringent data protection requirements of GDPR is crucial. Vulnerability Assessment ensures your systems are up to standard, offering peace of mind that personal data is safeguarded effectively and compliantly.
⇒ NIST Cybersecurity Programs: Adhering to NIST guidelines means embracing comprehensive cybersecurity practices. Vulnerability Assessment plays a key role in this by helping you pinpoint vulnerabilities, protect against threats, and ensure quick response and recovery. It’s essential for maintaining compliance and certifications under NIST standards.
⇒ Web and Mobile Applications: Vulnerability Assessment dives deep into the security of your web and mobile applications, identifying vulnerabilities that could lead to serious breaches or unauthorized access. It assesses both the platforms and the application code, ensuring comprehensive security. Compliance mandates from OWASP, the HITECH Act (HIPAA), CIISA, CIIPA, and PCI further emphasize the importance of Vulnerability Assessment. As technology advances, Vulnerability Assessment helps keep your digital assets robust and secure.

FAQs:
What is VAPT and why does my business need it?
VAPT stands for Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing. It helps identify and fix weaknesses in your website, app or system before attackers can exploit them.
How often should we conduct a VAPT?
We recommend performing Vulnerability Assessment quarterly or after every major update to your application or website to maintain security compliance and protect user data.
Does SDEVtech offer VAPT for third-party applications?
Yes. We perform independent security testing even for apps and websites not developed by SDEVtech. You’ll receive a detailed report and remediation guidance.
What does the VAPT report include?
You’ll receive an executive summary, detailed list of vulnerabilities (with risk levels), and recommended fixes that your developers or our team can implement.
Is VAPT required for compliance?
Yes. Vulnerability Assessment is often required for PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, and other security certifications. It also helps you comply with data privacy regulations like the Philippines’ Data Privacy Act.
