What is VAPT?
VAPT combines vulnerability assessments and penetration testing to provide a comprehensive evaluation of an organization's security posture, identifying and prioritizing vulnerabilities in systems, networks, and applications.
Key Focus Areas
What our engagement includes
CyberWave GRC provides vulnerability assessment and penetration testing (VAPT) services for organizations in the United States and India.

VAPT Services in India for Compliance and Customer Security Reviews
Our VAPT services in India are built for companies that need independent testing for a customer questionnaire, an audit or a compliance program like SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA or PCI DSS. We test web applications, APIs, mobile apps, networks and cloud environments with a mix of automated scanning and manual testing aligned with OWASP, then give you a risk-rated report with proof of concept and fix guidance. After you remediate, we retest and update the report, and can provide an attestation letter for your customer or auditor. Most engagements take 1 to 4 weeks. Whether an auditor accepts the report is their call, so share your requirements early. If CERT-In empanelment matters for your procurement, note that it belongs to our VAPT partner, not CyberWave GRC, so confirm the performing entity and its current scope before you commission the work.
