Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about VAPT, our services and how we work.
What is VAPT?
VAPT stands for Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing. A vulnerability assessment identifies and prioritises security weaknesses; penetration testing safely attempts to exploit selected weaknesses to prove real-world impact. Together they help you understand your exposure and plan remediation.
What cybersecurity services does CyberAlpha offer?
We cover penetration testing (web, mobile, API, network, cloud), source-code and configuration review, compliance and certification support (ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS, GDPR, DPDP, HIPAA), and advisory/managed services such as vCISO, red teaming and security awareness.
How do I choose a cybersecurity company?
Compare relevant technical experience, clear scope definition, methodology, safe testing practices, sample reporting, remediation guidance and retesting arrangements. Ask who performs the work, how findings are validated and how sensitive evidence is handled — choose on demonstrable capability, not claims alone.
How can I improve my company’s cybersecurity posture?
Know your assets and risks, enforce least-privilege access and MFA, patch promptly, test regularly (VAPT), monitor for threats, and prepare an incident-response plan. Prioritise improvements by risk and track them to closure rather than chasing every control at once.
How often should a company conduct VAPT?
Frequency should reflect your risk, data sensitivity, internet exposure and rate of change. Organisations commonly reassess after major releases, infrastructure changes or incidents, alongside a planned recurring schedule (often annually or more frequently for high-risk systems).
What does a VAPT report contain?
A useful report includes an executive summary, scope and limitations, testing dates and methodology, risk-ranked findings with evidence and business impact, remediation recommendations, and a conclusion. A free retest summary documents whether fixes were effective.
