Our VAPT Methodology
1. Planning & Analysis
Meticulously plan the VAPT process, defining scope, objectives, and resources. Analyze collected data to identify potential vulnerabilities and key areas of focus. This step ensures a targeted approach, maximizing the effectiveness of the assessment.
2. Information Gathering
Collect detailed data on systems, networks, and applications. This includes understanding the scope, identifying critical assets, and pinpointing entry points. Accurate information gathering is crucial for mapping the environment and identifying potential vulnerabilities.
3. Vulnerability Detection
Utilize automated scanning tools to detect common vulnerabilities, followed by manual inspections to uncover complex issues. This dual approach ensures comprehensive coverage, identifying both surface-level and deep-rooted security flaws within the network and applications.
4. Penetration Testing
Execute penetration tests on detected vulnerabilities, simulating real-world attack scenarios. This involves exploiting weaknesses to gauge the impact of potential breaches. Document all attempts and outcomes, providing insights into the effectiveness of existing security measures.
5. Business Logic Testing
Evaluate the application’s business logic for flaws that automated tools may overlook. Test for errors that could be exploited to bypass security controls, ensuring that the application functions securely and as intended, without compromising critical operations.
6. Functionality Testing
Assess the application's functionality to ensure security controls do not disrupt normal operations. Test for flaws that could be exploited during regular use, confirming that security measures are balanced with the application’s intended performance.
7. Reporting
Compile detailed reports on all findings, providing a clear overview of vulnerabilities, their severity, and potential impact. Include evidence and step-by-step reproductions of vulnerabilities, offering actionable insights for remediation and enhancing overall security posture.
8. Patching & Fix Implementation
Assist in applying necessary patches and security fixes identified during the assessment. Ensure that all recommended security measures are implemented effectively, mitigating vulnerabilities and reinforcing the network and application against future threats.
9. Re-Testing & Validation
Conduct thorough re-testing after patches and fixes are applied. Verify that all vulnerabilities have been successfully addressed, confirming the effectiveness of remediation efforts. This step ensures the robustness of the implemented security measures and the overall integrity of the system.
