Resource Hub · VAPT & Security Testing
VAPT & Security Testing — The Complete Hub
Vulnerability assessment and penetration testing across your whole attack surface — manual, exploit-driven, CERT-In empanelled.
VAPT combines automated discovery with manual exploitation to find the vulnerabilities attackers actually use. Regulators (RBI, SEBI, IRDAI, CERT-In) and enterprise customers increasingly require testing from empanelled or accredited providers, with retest evidence after fixes.
This hub organises CyberSigma's testing content — technique explainers, cost guides, comparisons and service pages for every asset class — into one place.
Who this applies to
- SaaS and product companies facing enterprise security reviews and RFPs.
- BFSI and regulated entities with mandated periodic testing and submissions.
- Teams shipping new apps, APIs or cloud infrastructure; post-incident hardening.
- Triggers: enterprise RFP, regulatory submission, product launch, incident, annual cycle.
The compliance journey
- 1. Understand VAPT — read the guide What testing involves and why manual matters.
- 2. Pick the right scope — read the guide Web, mobile, API, cloud, network, wireless — or red team.
- 3. Budget it — read the guide What VAPT costs in India and what drives price.
- 4. Test & remediate Exploit-driven findings with developer-ready fixes.
- 5. Retest & report Closure evidence in the format your regulator or buyer accepts.

Frequently asked questions
How often should we run VAPT?
At least annually, plus after major releases or infrastructure changes. Regulated entities (RBI/SEBI/IRDAI) often have explicit frequencies; enterprise contracts increasingly demand annual tests with retest evidence.
What does VAPT cost in India?
Scope drives price: a focused web-app test starts far lower than a full estate. See our cost guide for realistic ranges by asset type and size.
Why does CERT-In empanelment matter?
Government tenders and many regulatory submissions in India require testing from CERT-In empanelled organisations. It also signals vetted methodology and senior delivery.
What do we get at the end?
A prioritised, developer-ready report with proof-of-concept for critical findings, remediation guidance, and a retest with closure evidence — mapped to the framework you need (PCI, ISO, RBI, SEBI, SOC 2).
