Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing – MDIT Services

Quick Answer: Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) combines two distinct processes: a vulnerability assessment systematically identifies and catalogues security weaknesses across your systems, while penetration testing actively exploits those vulnerabilities to demonstrate real-world impact. Together, VAPT provides both breadth (all vulnerabilities found) and depth (which ones are actually exploitable).

Penetration Testing Company India — VAPT Services for Businesses

MDIT Services is one of India’s leading penetration testing companies, delivering comprehensive Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) services to enterprises, SMEs, startups, and government organisations across India. With 200+ successful engagements, CEH and OSCP certified ethical hackers, and a methodology aligned to OWASP, PTES, and CERT-In guidelines, we find what automated scanners miss — the vulnerabilities attackers actually exploit.

Whether you need network penetration testing, web application VAPT, mobile app security testing, or a full infrastructure security assessment, MDIT delivers a clear, actionable report with CVSS-scored findings and developer-friendly remediation guidance — not just a PDF of scanner output.

VAPT Services We Offer

1. Network Penetration Testing (Infrastructure VAPT)

We assess your internal and external network infrastructure — firewalls, routers, switches, servers, Active Directory, and cloud environments — for exploitable vulnerabilities. Ideal for enterprises seeking managed network penetration testing services in India on a recurring quarterly or annual basis.

  • External network perimeter testing
  • Internal network segmentation and lateral movement testing
  • Active Directory attack paths (Kerberoasting, Pass-the-Hash, DCSync)
  • VPN and remote access security assessment
  • Cloud infrastructure testing (AWS, Azure, GCP)

2. Web Application Penetration Testing

Full OWASP Top 10 and OWASP API Security Top 10 testing for your web applications, portals, and APIs. We go beyond automated scanning — our testers manually probe business logic, authentication flows, and session management to find vulnerabilities that scanners never flag.

  • Injection attacks (SQL, NoSQL, LDAP, Command)
  • Authentication and session management flaws
  • Broken access control and IDOR
  • Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) and CSRF
  • Insecure direct object references and business logic abuse

3. Mobile Application VAPT

Security testing for iOS and Android applications including static analysis (SAST), dynamic analysis (DAST), API backend testing, device storage examination, and inter-process communication testing. CERT-In compliant methodology using OWASP MASVS.

4. Enterprise Network Penetration Testing

For large enterprises with complex hybrid environments, our enterprise network penetration testing in India covers multi-site networks, OT/IT boundaries, privileged access management, and cloud-on-premise connectivity. Dedicated senior testers, CISO-level executive reporting.

5. API Security Testing

Full OWASP API Security Top 10 assessment for REST, GraphQL, and SOAP APIs. Critical for fintech, e-commerce, and SaaS companies whose entire business logic runs through APIs.

6. Cloud Penetration Testing

Security testing of AWS, Azure, and GCP environments — IAM misconfigurations, exposed storage, privilege escalation paths, and lateral movement through cloud services.

7. Social Engineering Assessment

Phishing simulations, vishing campaigns, and physical security testing to evaluate your human layer defenses. Combined with technical VAPT for a complete attack surface view.

8. VAPT for Compliance

CERT-In mandates annual VAPT for most organisations. Our reports are structured to satisfy RBI, SEBI, PCI DSS, ISO 27001, and DPDP Act audit requirements — accepted by QSAs and certification bodies.

Our Penetration Testing Methodology

We follow the Penetration Testing Execution Standard (PTES) and OWASP Testing Guide — ensuring reproducible, defensible results:

  1. Scoping & Planning — define targets, rules of engagement, testing windows, emergency contacts
  2. Reconnaissance — passive and active intelligence gathering (OSINT, port scanning, service enumeration)
  3. Vulnerability Discovery — automated scanning + manual verification to eliminate false positives
  4. Exploitation — controlled exploitation of confirmed vulnerabilities to demonstrate real-world impact
  5. Post-Exploitation — privilege escalation, lateral movement, data exfiltration simulation
  6. Reporting — CVSS-scored findings, executive summary, technical detail, developer remediation guide
  7. Re-test — free re-verification of fixed vulnerabilities within 30 days

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does VAPT cost in India?

VAPT cost in India starts from ₹35,000 for a focused web application test and ranges to ₹1,50,000+ for full enterprise assessments. The cost depends on scope (number of IPs, endpoints, or applications), testing type (black-box, grey-box, white-box), and the complexity of your environment. MDIT offers free scoping calls to give you an exact quote before you commit.

How long does a penetration test take?

A standard web application or network VAPT takes 5-10 business days for testing and 3-5 days for report preparation. Enterprise assessments covering large environments can take 3-6 weeks. We work within your change management windows to avoid disrupting production systems.

Is VAPT mandatory in India?

Yes. CERT-In guidelines require organisations to conduct regular security audits. RBI mandates VAPT every 6-12 months for banks and NBFCs. SEBI’s CSCRF requires penetration testing 1-2 times per year for regulated entities. PCI DSS requires annual penetration testing for all entities processing card payments. CERT-In’s September 2025 guidelines extended annual audit requirements to MSMEs.

What is the difference between vulnerability assessment and penetration testing?

Vulnerability Assessment (VA) identifies and lists known vulnerabilities using scanning tools. Penetration Testing (PT) goes further — it attempts to actually exploit those vulnerabilities to demonstrate real-world impact (data access, lateral movement, domain compromise). VAPT combines both: systematic discovery followed by manual exploitation to prove risk and prioritise remediation.

Do you provide VAPT certificates?

Yes. After successful remediation of critical and high findings, MDIT issues a VAPT completion certificate. Our reports and certificates are accepted by RBI, SEBI, PCI DSS QSAs, ISO 27001 auditors, and major enterprise procurement teams for vendor security approvals.

What is penetration testing companies in India?

Penetration testing companies in India are cybersecurity firms that conduct authorised, simulated cyberattacks on organisations’ IT systems to identify vulnerabilities before real attackers do. MDIT Services is one of India’s established penetration testing companies with CERT-In empanelment, serving clients from startups to enterprise across all major cities.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is the difference between VAPT and penetration testing?

    VAPT (Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing) combines two activities. Vulnerability Assessment identifies and classifies vulnerabilities across your systems. Penetration Testing actively exploits those vulnerabilities to demonstrate real-world impact. Together, VAPT gives you a complete vulnerability inventory and proof of exploitability.

    Which compliance frameworks require VAPT in India?

    VAPT is required under: RBI Cybersecurity Framework (banks and NBFCs), SEBI Cybersecurity Framework (market intermediaries), PCI DSS (payment card industry), CERT-In Directions 2022 (critical infrastructure), IRDAI cybersecurity guidelines (insurance), and ISO 27001. The DPDP Act 2023 also implicitly requires regular security assessments.

    How often should VAPT be conducted?

    For organisations under RBI, SEBI, or PCI DSS: annually at minimum, with additional testing after significant infrastructure changes. Best practice is annual VAPT for all internet-facing systems with quarterly automated scanning between assessments.

    What does VAPT cost in India?

    VAPT pricing in India: web application VAPT from Rs15,000-Rs40,000; network VAPT from Rs35,000-Rs1.2 lakh; mobile app VAPT from Rs20,000-Rs60,000; full-scope enterprise VAPT from Rs2-10 lakh. MDIT provides fixed-price quotes after a free scoping call.
