Where Security Risk Builds Up
Every new app, API and integration widens the attack surface faster than most teams can review it.
Growing Attack Surface
Applications, APIs, cloud services, remote access and third-party integrations keep widening what an attacker can reach.
Application Weaknesses
Authorisation flaws, insecure sessions, vulnerable components and business logic issues put sensitive data at risk.
Compliance Pressure
Enterprise buyers, regulators, auditors and investors now expect hard evidence of your security controls.
Limited Visibility
Development and IT teams rarely see which risks across the estate an attacker could actually exploit.
What Our VAPT Services Cover
One engagement across every layer you name, from customer-facing apps to the cloud accounts behind them.
Web Applications
SaaS platforms, portals, ecommerce sites and internal systems tested for access control flaws, injection, session weaknesses and business logic issues.
Mobile Apps
Android and iOS builds checked for insecure storage, weak authentication, reverse engineering exposure and insecure traffic. Deeper work runs through mobile security testing.
APIs
REST, SOAP, GraphQL and third-party APIs tested for broken object-level authorisation, data exposure and missing rate limits. See API security testing.
Networks
External and internal networks probed for vulnerable services, weak protocols, segmentation failures and privilege escalation. See network security testing.
Cloud Environments
AWS, Azure and Google Cloud reviewed for identity risks, exposed storage, excessive permissions, insecure networking and logging gaps.
SaaS and Multi-Tenant Platforms
Tenant isolation, role permissions, admin controls and data separation verified, so one customer can never reach another’s data.
Secure Code Review
Source reviewed for insecure patterns, vulnerable dependencies, embedded credentials, weak input validation and flawed cryptography.
Infrastructure and Wireless
Servers, firewalls and radio networks covered through infrastructure and wireless security testing.
Release-Based Testing
Testing tied to product releases, major infrastructure changes and cloud deployments, not a once-a-year snapshot.
A scanner lists possibilities. A VAPT proves which ones matter.
Free Attack-Surface CheckFrom Attack Surface to Action Plan
Agreed in writing up front, ending with proof that every fix holds.
Scoping and Rules
Target assets, environments, limits, critical functions and contacts agreed in writing before any testing starts.
Reconnaissance
Domains, applications, APIs, exposed services and cloud resources mapped to find the likely attack paths.
Vulnerability Assessment
Automated scans for known vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, outdated components and exposed services.
Manual Penetration Testing
Controlled testing of authentication, authorisation, sessions, business logic, APIs, infrastructure and cloud controls.
Risk Analysis and Reporting
Findings ranked by exploitability, severity, affected data and business impact, with clear steps to fix.
Remediation Retest
Fixed issues retested, with closure evidence for engineering, compliance, customers and leadership.
What VAPT Gives Your Business
Fewer false alarms, faster fixes and the evidence buyers and auditors ask for.
Real Risk, Not Scanner Noise
Exploitable vulnerabilities separated from low-value alerts and false positives, so engineering time goes where it counts.
Issues Caught Before Release
Weaknesses found before a new application, feature, integration or platform update reaches customers.
Stronger Defences
Internet-facing assets, internal systems, APIs, cloud infrastructure and sensitive workflows hardened together.
Audit-Ready Evidence
Findings mapped to SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS and HIPAA requirements where they apply. Control-level work runs through compliance testing.
Fixes Developers Can Act On
Reproduction steps, root cause and a practical fix for every finding, written for the engineer who owns it.
Proof for Enterprise Buyers
Closure evidence that answers customer security questionnaires and moves procurement reviews forward.
Five Recent Engagements
Real VAPT engagements, anonymized by sector, each closed out with a retest.
Bank · VAPT and audit evidence
Before: vulnerability noise was burying the work that mattered, fixes took over 40 days and audit preparation took five days. After: 68% less vulnerability noise, time to fix under 16 days, audit preparation down from 5 days to 5 hours, and high-risk findings closed 3.5 times faster.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most engagements are priced at $25 to $49 an hour and quoted in tester-days once the scope is written down. A vulnerability assessment of a few hosts or one application costs less than a full VAPT across web, API, mobile and cloud. The quote moves with the number of assets and user roles, the testing approach, and whether you need an audit-ready report and retest.
The main types are vulnerability assessment, penetration testing, static and dynamic application security testing (SAST and DAST), API and mobile security testing, network and infrastructure testing, cloud configuration review, secure code review and compliance testing. VAPT combines the first two: an assessment finds and ranks weaknesses, then penetration testing proves which ones an attacker could actually exploit.
Pentesting is legal when the owner of every system in scope gives written authorisation. Without that permission, the same activity is unauthorised access and a crime. We never start a VAPT without a signed authorisation, a named scope and agreed rules of engagement covering test windows and exclusions. Third-party hosts and cloud accounts need written approval from their owners too.
Five tools most teams rely on are Burp Suite for web and API testing, OWASP ZAP for automated scanning, Metasploit for controlled exploitation, Nmap for network discovery and Tenable Nessus for vulnerability assessment. Tools alone are not enough. Our testers pair them with manual testing to catch the business logic and authorisation flaws that no scanner flags.
A penetration test should be priced in tester-days against a written scope, not sold as a flat package. At $25 to $49 an hour, a single web application with a few user roles and a retest is the most common starting point. APIs, mobile builds, cloud accounts and audit-ready reporting add days. Ask every vendor to quote the same scope so proposals compare fairly.
Rankings change every year, so judge vendors on evidence rather than lists. Look for verified client reviews, named methods such as OWASP and PTES, real manual testing beyond scanners, a sample report, a retest included in the price and certifications such as ISO/IEC 27001. Vervali meets each of these and will share a sample report before you sign anything.
No. AI speeds up reconnaissance, scanning and triage, and we use it to cut noise from automated results. It still cannot reliably reason about business logic, chain small weaknesses into a real attack path or judge business impact. Those calls need an experienced tester. The practical model is AI-assisted testing led by people, with every finding verified by hand.
It is an authorised, time-boxed attempt to break into a web application the way a real attacker would, both before and after login. Testers cover the OWASP Top 10, then go further into business logic, session handling and authorisation between accounts. Every finding is risk-ranked with steps to reproduce and a fix, and retested once your team applies the change.
