External attack surface
Internet-facing hosts, open ports, exposed services and forgotten subdomains that an outsider can reach without credentials.
Cybersecurity — VAPT
VAPT In Bengaluru: Weaknesses Found, Proven And Fixed.
Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) combines broad scanning with hands-on exploitation, so you learn both what is exposed and what an attacker could actually do with it.
VAPT is two disciplines used together. A vulnerability assessment gives breadth: automated scanning across servers, endpoints and network devices, cross-referenced against CVE and CWE data and then triaged by a person so false positives never reach your team. A penetration test gives depth: a tester takes the weaknesses that look serious and tries to chain them into real access, the way an attacker would.
Running only one of the two leaves a gap. A scan alone cannot tell you which of two hundred findings matters; a pen test alone does not give you a repeatable view of everything that is exposed. Nithura scopes the mix to your environment, so a startup with one web application is not sold a network engagement it does not need.
Every finding is reproduced manually before it is reported, scored with CVSS and written up in two layers: plain business language for leadership and exact reproduction steps for engineers.
Coverage
What A VAPT Engagement Covers
Internal network
What an attacker could reach, pivot to and escalate from after a single foothold, including segmentation and Active Directory where it is in scope.
Web applications
Authentication, authorisation, session handling, business logic and data exposure, tested as an anonymous user and as each user role.
Cloud configuration
IAM permissions, storage exposure, network architecture and logging gaps across AWS, Azure and GCP, benchmarked against CIS guidance.
Known vulnerabilities
Unpatched software and weak configurations ranked by CVSS and by how reachable they actually are in your environment.
Retesting
Fixed findings are re-verified inside the engagement window at no additional cost, so the final report shows what is closed.
In Detail
The Services Behind Our VAPT Work
01
Vulnerability Assessment
Broad, recurring scanning and triage across your full infrastructure footprint.
Purpose
Maintain continuous visibility into known vulnerabilities and misconfigurations across servers, endpoints and network devices.
Scope
All in-scope assets, authenticated where possible for greater depth of coverage.
Methodology
Automated scanning cross-referenced against CVE and CWE databases, manually triaged to remove false positives before you see them.
Deliverables
Ranked vulnerability register with CVSS scoring, trend reporting across scan cycles and patch prioritisation guidance.
Business Value
“Keeps patch management proactive instead of reactive — most breaches exploit vulnerabilities that were already known and unpatched.”
02
Web Application VAPT
Full-stack vulnerability assessment and penetration testing for production web applications.
Purpose
Identify exploitable flaws in authentication, authorisation, business logic and data handling before an attacker does.
Scope
Unauthenticated and authenticated testing across all user roles, API endpoints consumed by the app, session management and file handling.
Methodology
OWASP Testing Guide and OWASP ASVS-aligned manual testing, supplemented by targeted automated scanning for coverage — never automation alone.
Deliverables
Executive summary, CVSS-scored technical findings, proof-of-concept evidence, remediation guidance and one round of retesting.
Business Value
“Prevents breaches that trace back to the application layer — still the single largest source of confirmed incidents.”
03
Network Penetration Testing
Internal and external network testing to map your real attack surface.
Purpose
Determine what an attacker could reach, pivot to and escalate from a single foothold — inside or outside your perimeter.
Scope
External-facing infrastructure, internal segments, Active Directory where applicable, and wireless where in scope.
Methodology
Reconnaissance, service enumeration, exploitation, lateral movement and privilege escalation mapped to MITRE ATT&CK tactics.
Deliverables
Network risk map, attack-path narrative, segmentation recommendations and a prioritised hardening roadmap.
Business Value
“Confirms whether your segmentation and monitoring would actually contain a real intrusion.”
04
Cloud Security Assessment
Configuration and architecture review across AWS, Azure and GCP environments.
Purpose
Catch misconfigurations — overly permissive IAM, exposed storage, unencrypted data stores — before they are discovered externally.
Scope
IAM policies, network architecture, storage and database exposure, logging and monitoring coverage, and container orchestration configuration.
Methodology
Benchmark review against CIS Cloud Foundations, manual architecture assessment and, where authorised, exploitation of identified gaps.
Deliverables
Risk-ranked misconfiguration register, annotated architecture diagrams and a remediation runbook your cloud team can execute directly.
Business Value
“Cloud misconfiguration remains the leading cause of large-scale data exposure — this closes that gap before an audit or an attacker finds it.”
Process
How A VAPT Engagement Runs
- 01
Scope and rules of engagement
Targets, test windows and off-limits systems are agreed in writing. High-risk test cases are scheduled up front so production is never surprised.
- 02
Assessment
Authenticated and unauthenticated scanning builds the full picture of known weaknesses across the in-scope assets.
- 03
Exploitation
Testers attempt to exploit the findings that matter and to chain them into real impact, recording reproducible evidence for each.
- 04
Reporting
One report with an executive summary, CVSS-scored findings, proof-of-concept evidence and prioritised fixes.
- 05
Walkthrough and retest
A live session with your engineers, followed by re-verification of the fixes.
FAQ
Questions About VAPT & Penetration Testing
A vulnerability assessment finds and ranks known weaknesses across many assets, mostly with scanning plus manual triage. A penetration test goes deeper on fewer targets and tries to exploit weaknesses to show real impact. VAPT combines the two, and most organisations get the best value from that mix.
Nithura Web / API VAPT starts at ₹24,999 and Complete Business VAPT for companies with multiple systems starts at ₹49,999. Cloud Security Assessment starts at ₹19,999. Lighter options start free: Free Security Check ₹0, Security Health Check ₹1,499, Startup Security Audit ₹4,999 and Business Security Audit ₹9,999. Final price depends on application size, number of endpoints, user roles and testing scope, and is confirmed in writing before work begins.
A baseline vulnerability assessment takes three to five business days. A web application test typically takes five to ten business days and a network engagement seven to fourteen, depending on the number of IPs and segments.
Testing runs under a written scope and rules of engagement. Risky test cases are agreed and scheduled in advance, and we can test a staging copy instead where you prefer.
Reporting is structured to support ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS and HIPAA reviews as well as customer security questionnaires. We map findings to the framework you name.
