We try to break in, so attackers can't.
A penetration test (often called VAPT) is a controlled, authorised attack on your web app. A real person — not just a scanner — tries everything an attacker would, then shows you exactly what they could reach and how to stop it.

When startups usually call us.
Before launching
Fixing a hole before your first users arrive is far cheaper than explaining a breach after.
When a big client asks
Enterprise customers often require a recent penetration test report before they'll sign.
Before fundraising
Investors increasingly ask about security during due diligence. A clean, retested report answers the question.
After a major change
New payments, a new API, user roles or a rewrite — each one opens new doors.
What we attack.
Testing follows the OWASP Top 10 — the industry's list of the most critical web application risks — and goes beyond it wherever your app needs.
Broken access control
Can one customer see another's orders, invoices or data by changing a number in a link? Can a normal user reach admin features?
Login and session security
Password reset flaws, session hijacking, weak tokens, two-factor bypasses and account takeover paths.
Injection attacks
SQL injection, command injection and other ways of sending code instead of data to your servers.
Cross-site scripting (XSS)
Ways an attacker could run their code in your users' browsers to steal sessions or data.
APIs and integrations
Hidden endpoints, missing checks, too much data in responses, and abuse of third-party connections.
Business logic
Paying less than the real price, reusing coupons, skipping steps — flaws only a human tester will think of.
File uploads
Uploading files that execute on your server or reach other users.
Configuration and secrets
Exposed keys, debug modes, verbose errors and cloud storage left open.

Two audiences, two documents — so your developers and your leadership both get what they need.

After your fixes, we retest and issue a letter you can share with clients or investors confirming the results.
About penetration testing.
What's the difference between VAPT and a penetration test?
VAPT stands for Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing. The assessment finds weaknesses; the penetration test tries to exploit them to prove the real impact. Our penetration tests include both.
Black box, grey box or white box?
Black box means we start with nothing, like an outside attacker. Grey box means you give us normal user accounts, which finds far more in the same time. White box adds access to code or architecture. For most startups, grey box gives the best value — we'll recommend what suits you.
Can you test our staging environment instead of production?
Yes, and we often recommend it — as long as staging matches production closely. Some checks, like server and SSL configuration, may still be done on the live site with your agreement.
Do you test mobile apps?
We focus on web applications and the APIs behind them, which is also where most mobile app data lives. Tell us about your setup and we'll be upfront about what we can and can't cover.
Have a client or investor asking for a security test?
Tell us your deadline. We'll tell you honestly whether we can meet it, and give you a fixed quote.
