Why a VAPT?

As companies begin to realize the severity of attacks and the impacts on their business, they face a daunting array of initial steps. But as businesses work out what to fix and what to strengthen, they must first understand what is susceptible or exposed.

When should I get a vapt and how often do I re-test?

The simple answer to the first part of this question is that if you have never conducted a VAPT then it’s NOW! The threat to businesses is ever-present and the sooner vulnerabilities are isolated and security measures implemented the better.

Penetration Testing may be a single action but it is not a one-time activity and the timing of the test and subsequent re-tests can depend on a number of contributing factors such as the size of your company and the complexity of your infrastructure. For most small to medium sized businesses this should be done once a year. For more mature organizations they may do this quarterly, monthly, or more frequently for some. It also should be scheduled to:

Identify and Prioritize Risks

  • To evaluate current security
  • To understand what controls are necessary to maintain a high level of security for your organization
  • To prioritize risks to help anticipate risks, prevent potential attacks and knowing which security areas to invest resources into

Comply with Industry Standards and Regulations

VAPTs help address the compliance and security obligations that are mandated by industry standards and regulations such as FTC Safeguards Rule, PCI, HIPAA, FISMA, NIST SP 800-171, and ISO 27001.

Avoid the Cost and Reputation Impact

From Legal fees, IT remediation, customer protection programs, to a loss in sales, the cost for organizations can be millions of dollars. But the impacts on reputations can impact potential sales for months or years.
