Who Needs VAPT in India

Mandatory for most regulated sectors — are you compliant?

🏦

BFSI — RBI / SEBI / IRDAI

RBI IT Framework mandates annual VAPT for all banks and NBFCs. SEBI CSCRF requires VAPT for market intermediaries. IRDAI mandates annual security audits for insurers.

🏥

Healthcare — ABDM / NABH

ABDM-connected hospitals must pass security audits before joining the Health Information Exchange. NABH accreditation requires documented security controls and periodic assessments.

🏛️

Government — MeitY / CERT-In

Government websites and e-governance portals must be STQC/CERT-In audited before go-live. Critical infrastructure operators have mandatory VAPT requirements.

💳

Payments — PCI DSS

Any organisation processing, storing, or transmitting cardholder data must maintain PCI DSS compliance — requiring annual penetration testing and quarterly vulnerability scans.

📱

Fintech & Insurtech

SEBI-regulated fintech platforms, IRDAI-licensed insurtechs, and MeitY-recognised startups have progressive VAPT requirements based on data sensitivity and transaction volumes.

🏗️

Critical Infrastructure

Power sector (CEA guidelines), telecom (DOT regulations), and oil & gas (PNGRB) — all have sector-specific cyber security audit requirements with CERT-In empanelled firms.

VAPT Scope Options

Choose the right scope for your compliance requirement.

🌐

Web Application VAPT

OWASP Top 10, API security, authentication, authorisation, session management, input validation, and business logic vulnerabilities. Most common for SEBI and RBI mandates.

🏢

Network Infrastructure VAPT

External perimeter assessment, internal network segmentation, firewall rule review, open port analysis, VPN security, and wireless network security.

📱

Mobile Application VAPT

iOS and Android security — OWASP Mobile Top 10, data storage, API security, binary analysis, and runtime manipulation. Required for banking and fintech apps.

☁️

Cloud Infrastructure VAPT

AWS, OCI, Azure, GCP security assessment against cloud security benchmarks — IAM review, storage exposure, and network security groups.

🔌

API Security VAPT

REST/GraphQL/SOAP API testing — authentication, authorisation (BOLA/BFLA), injection, rate limiting, and sensitive data exposure. Essential for UPI and open banking.

🏥

Healthcare VAPT

HIMS, EMR, LIMS, and medical device security aligned to ABDM security guidelines, HIPAA-adjacent controls, and NABH documentation requirements.

FAQ

Common questions

What is the difference between VA and PT in VAPT?
Vulnerability Assessment (VA) identifies and prioritises vulnerabilities using automated scanning with manual verification. Penetration Testing (PT) actively exploits vulnerabilities to demonstrate real-world business impact. Most Indian regulatory frameworks require both — combined as VAPT.
How long does VAPT take?
Web application VAPT (medium app) — 5–7 days. Network VAPT (up to 50 IPs) — 3–5 days. Mobile app VAPT — 4–6 days. Cloud VAPT — 4–6 days. Full infrastructure VAPT for a mid-size organisation — 2–3 weeks. We provide a precise timeline after initial scoping.
Do you provide a CERT-In format report?
Yes. All reports are structured to meet CERT-In requirements — scope, methodology, tools used, CVSS-scored findings, business impact, remediation recommendations, and overall risk rating. A VAPT completion certificate signed by our CERT-In empanelled team is issued on completion.
What happens after we fix the vulnerabilities?
We include one free remediation retest for all critical and high-severity findings — retesting after your team applies the fix and issuing an updated report and certificate reflecting the post-remediation security posture.
