Find the gap before someone else does

Manual + Tenable-powered testing with CVSS-scored reports and one free retest - findings your team can act on.

Penetration Testing & VAPT Services

Every application, network and cloud workload you ship is a door someone else is trying to open. Penetration testing is how you find that door before an attacker does, by having a certified specialist attempt to break in on purpose, under controlled conditions, and hand you a prioritized list of what to fix first.

At Vinca Cyber, our VAPT / penetration testing practice combines manual, attacker-style testing with Tenable-powered automated scanning to cover the full spectrum (network, web application, cloud and endpoint) and deliver CVSS-scored, developer-ready findings your team can act on immediately. It's the same 360° Cyber Resilience approach that has supported 100+ clients across BFSI, ed-tech and manufacturing since 2017.

What is penetration testing?

Penetration testing (often bundled with vulnerability assessment under the umbrella term VAPT) is a controlled, authorized attempt to exploit weaknesses in your systems the way a real attacker would, rather than simply listing them. A vulnerability scan tells you where the cracks might be; penetration testing confirms which of those cracks can actually be walked through, and how far an attacker could get once inside.

Frameworks such as NIST SP 800-53 (control CA-8) and PCI DSS treat the two as complementary rather than interchangeable, which is why most compliance regimes call for continuous vulnerability scanning alongside a full penetration test at least annually, quarterly for higher-risk environments.

Our penetration testing services

Every layer attackers actually target - with CVSS-scored reports, proof-of-concept evidence, and one free retest.

Network Penetration Testing

Internal and external infrastructure, firewalls and VPN gateways.

Web Application Penetration Testing

OWASP Top 10 and business-logic testing for customer-facing apps.

Cloud Penetration Testing

AWS, Azure and GCP configuration and workload testing, using cloud vulnerability assessment tools alongside manual validation.

API & Mobile Penetration Testing

REST/GraphQL endpoint testing and Android/iOS runtime analysis.

Retainer-Based Vulnerability and Penetration Testing

A subscription program that pairs continuous scanning with quarterly deep-dive engagements, so new exposures don't sit unnoticed between annual audits.

Signs you're overdue for a penetration test

Most organisations don't run VAPT / penetration testing until something forces the issue: a client questionnaire, a cyber-insurance renewal, or an ISO 27001 / DPDP audit deadline. A few signals suggest you shouldn't wait that long: you've shipped a major application or infrastructure change since your last penetration test; you can't point to a CVSS-scored report from the last 12 months; a client, partner or regulator has asked for one and you don't have a current provider; or your last engagement was an automated scan re-labelled as "penetration testing" rather than genuine manual exploitation. Any one of these is reason enough to bring in a dedicated penetration testing services team before an attacker forces the conversation for you.
