Penetration Testing (VAPT)

We think like attackers so your defences hold when real ones arrive. Our certified ethical hackers conduct comprehensive penetration testing — web applications, mobile apps, APIs, network infrastructure, and cloud environments — delivering VAPT reports that satisfy RBI, SEBI, PCI-DSS, and ISO 27001 audit requirements.

The Threat Landscape

Why Penetration Testing Is No Longer Optional

Regulatory mandates, cyber insurance requirements, and the sheer cost of breaches have made periodic penetration testing a baseline business practice — not a luxury.

₹17Cr

Avg Cost of a Data Breach in India

IBM's 2023 Cost of a Data Breach report puts India's average at ₹17Cr — compared to a VAPT engagement costing a fraction of that.

82%

Breaches Involve Human or App Layer

Over 82% of breaches involve application vulnerabilities or human exploitation — the exact attack surfaces penetration testing covers.

RBI

Mandates Annual VAPT for Banks

RBI IT Framework requires annual penetration testing for banks and NBFCs — non-compliance exposes institutions to regulatory action and reputational risk.

287 Days

Average Breach Detection Time

Organisations without regular security testing take 287 days on average to detect a breach — a window attackers exploit comprehensively.

Our Methodology

Our Penetration Testing Methodology

A structured, PTES-aligned methodology that simulates real attacker behaviour — producing findings your engineering and security teams can prioritise and fix.

01
Phase 1

Scoping & Rules of Engagement

Define test targets, attack scenarios, testing windows, and escalation procedures — ensuring testing is thorough without impacting production availability.

Scope DefinitionAttack ScenariosTest WindowsEmergency Contacts
02
Phase 2

Reconnaissance & OSINT

Passive and active information gathering — domain enumeration, employee profiling, technology fingerprinting, and publicly exposed asset discovery.

Domain EnumerationOSINTTechnology FingerprintExposed Assets

Phase 3

Vulnerability Scanning

Automated scanning with Nessus, Qualys, and custom scripts — systematic identification of known vulnerabilities across the target scope.

Manual Exploitation

Expert manual testing to confirm and exploit vulnerabilities — chaining multiple low-severity findings into high-impact attack paths that automated tools miss.

Our Expertise

VAPT That Satisfies Regulators and Actually Improves Security

Most VAPT reports are tick-box exercises — automated scans reformatted into PDFs that satisfy auditors but don't improve security. We conduct real adversarial testing, chain vulnerabilities into realistic attack paths, and deliver reports your engineers can prioritise and act on immediately.

📋
Audit-Ready Reports

VAPT reports formatted for RBI IT Framework, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, and SEBI submission — satisfying compliance requirements without additional formatting.

24-Hour Critical Disclosure

Critical vulnerabilities disclosed to your security team within 24 hours of discovery — before the engagement report is complete.

Free Re-Test Included

All critical and high findings re-tested after remediation at no additional cost — closure letter issued for audit evidence.

Why ScaleUpTH

Why Organisations Choose Us

Certified security specialists who find what attackers find — before they do — and deliver reports your engineering team can actually act on.

🎯
Attack-Chain Thinking

We don't just list vulnerabilities — we chain them into realistic attack scenarios that show actual business risk.

📋
RBI/SEBI/ISO Ready

Reports structured for Indian regulatory submission — saves weeks of reformatting before compliance audits.

Critical Issues in 24 Hours

Urgent disclosures don't wait for the final report — your team knows about critical findings immediately.

Re-Test Accountability

Fixes verified, not assumed — closure letter gives your compliance team documented evidence of remediation.

FAQ

Security & Compliance Questions — Answered

Common questions from CISOs, CTOs, and compliance officers before engaging.

What is the difference between VAPT and a penetration test?+
VAPT (Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing) combines automated vulnerability scanning (VA) with manual exploitation (PT). VA identifies known vulnerabilities; PT confirms exploitability and impact. Both together are required for RBI and ISO 27001 compliance.
How often should penetration testing be done?+
RBI mandates annual VAPT for banks and NBFCs. ISO 27001 requires periodic testing. Best practice is annual comprehensive testing plus targeted testing after significant application changes, new deployments, or security incidents.
Will penetration testing affect our live production systems?+
We design test plans to avoid production impact — agreed testing windows, staging environment testing where possible, and rate-limited techniques for production. Critical exploits are confirmed conceptually, not executed on production data.
Can you test our cloud infrastructure on AWS or Azure?+
Yes — cloud configuration review and penetration testing for AWS, Azure, and GCP environments including IAM policy review, network security group analysis, and cloud-native attack surface assessment.
Do you provide VAPT certificates acceptable to RBI examiners?+
Yes — our VAPT reports follow CERT-IN guidelines and are structured for RBI IT examination submission. We have helped 50+ regulated entities satisfy RBI VAPT requirements.
