Approach
Methodology built to find what scanners miss
Secvapt's approach to VAPT comes down to a small number of principles that don't change from one engagement to the next — whether that's a single API or a full network assessment. Here's how we actually think about it, and the five-step process every engagement follows.
Our principles
What doesn't change from one engagement to the next
A tester, not just a tool
Automated scanning is a starting point, never the deliverable. Every finding in your report has been manually reproduced by a person.
We think like an attacker, not an auditor
We're not checking boxes against a compliance template — we're trying to actually break in, the way someone with bad intentions would.
Findings ranked by real-world risk
A critical finding on an unauthenticated endpoint gets flagged as critical. We don't inflate severity to pad a report.
Fixed scope, fixed price
You know what's being tested and what it costs before we start. No surprise line items after the engagement is underway.
We verify the fix, not just the finding
A vulnerability isn't closed until we've retested it. We don't let you mark something resolved on your own word.
How it works
The five-step process behind every engagement
Scoping & rules of engagement
We define target systems, testing windows, and rules of engagement up front, so testing never disrupts production.
Reconnaissance & mapping
We map the attack surface — endpoints, assets, and technologies — the same way an attacker would before touching anything.
Manual testing & exploitation
Automated tooling surfaces leads; manual testing confirms what's actually exploitable, safely, without touching production data.
Reporting & walkthrough
A report ranked by real-world risk, with reproduction steps and fix guidance, walked through live with your team.
Retest & verification
Once fixes ship, we retest at no extra cost to confirm the gap is actually closed, not just marked resolved.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about how we work
Do you follow a specific testing standard?
Our methodology is aligned with OWASP (Top 10, ASVS, MASVS, and API Security Top 10 depending on the engagement type), with manual testing layered on top rather than stopping at automated coverage.
Who actually performs the testing?
Testing is performed directly by our team — not outsourced or subcontracted to a third party. The people who scope your engagement are the same people testing it.
What do we need to provide before testing starts?
Typically: access credentials appropriate to the test type, a list of in-scope assets, and a point of contact for the testing window. We'll confirm exactly what's needed during scoping.
What happens if you find something critical mid-engagement?
We don't wait for the final report. Critical, actively exploitable findings are flagged to your team immediately so you can start remediation without delay.
Do you provide a letter of attestation after testing?
Yes — once an engagement is complete and critical findings are retested, we can provide a letter of attestation suitable for client or compliance audits.
