Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing

Find every vulnerability before an attacker does

XHack VAPT pairs the breadth of AI-driven vulnerability assessment with the depth of expert manual penetration testing, verified findings, real exploitation, and a report your team can act on.

Vulnerability Assessment vs Penetration Testing

Breadth

Vulnerability Assessment (VA)

Identifies and prioritises as many weaknesses as possible across your whole environment, external surface, internal infrastructure, cloud, endpoints and network architecture. Context-aware risk ratings tell your team exactly where to focus.

Maximum coverage across all assets

Asset discovery, incl. shadow IT

Risk-based prioritisation beyond raw CVSS

Optional continuous monitoring

Depth

Penetration Testing

Takes selected findings and safely exploits them to prove real-world impact. Where a scanner reports a weakness, a tester demonstrates what an attacker could actually do with it, chaining findings into full attack paths.

Real, safe exploitation within RoE

Business-logic and chained attacks

Proof-of-concept evidence

Impact an executive can understand

VAPT is both, in one engagement, the coverage of assessment plus the proof of exploitation.

Full attack surface

What our VAPT covers

Web Applications

Authentication flows, business logic, API endpoints, session management, input validation and access controls.

Network Infrastructure

External perimeter, internal segmentation, firewall rules, VPN configuration and wireless networks.

Cloud Environments

AWS, Azure and GCP — IAM policies, storage permissions, serverless functions and container security.

Mobile Applications

iOS and Android — local storage, API communication, certificate pinning and runtime manipulation.

APIs & Microservices

Full coverage of REST, GraphQL, gRPC and WebSocket interfaces, including authz and rate-limit abuse.

Full Stack, Chained

We chain low-severity findings into real attack paths automated scanners miss entirely.

Included free · runs only with your permission

Human testers + AI agents, on the same engagement

With your explicit authorization, we run XHack's autonomous AI penetration-testing agents alongside our human researchers, at no extra cost. The agents probe tirelessly and at scale, covering breadth a human team cannot reach in the same window; our researchers bring the creativity, business-logic insight and judgement that automation cannot. Together they close the gaps either would leave alone, so you get materially deeper coverage from the same engagement.

The agentic pass is strictly opt-in. It only runs against the targets you authorize, inside the same Rules of Engagement, never without your say-so.

Agents cover the breadth

Tireless enumeration and probing across every in-scope target, at machine scale.

Humans bring the depth

Business logic, chained exploits and judgement calls automation cannot make.

Together, far more coverage

Findings neither approach reaches alone — the gap between the two, closed.

How we work

Our VAPT methodology

A structured engagement that maximises coverage while respecting your operational constraints.

PHASE 01

Scoping & Planning

A detailed scoping call defines target systems, Rules of Engagement (RoE), testing windows, exclusions and escalation contacts — documented precisely so there are no surprises.

PHASE 02

Reconnaissance & Discovery

We map your attack surface with passive and active techniques. XHack AI accelerates OSINT gathering and service enumeration to surface every entry point.

PHASE 03

Vulnerability Identification

Automated scanning plus manual analysis against OWASP Top 10, CWE/SANS Top 25, business-logic flaws and config weaknesses. Every finding is manually verified — no false positives.

PHASE 04

Exploitation & Validation

Findings are safely exploited within the agreed RoE to prove real-world impact: data exposure, privilege escalation, lateral movement. You see exactly what an attacker could achieve.

PHASE 05

Reporting & Remediation

A report with executive summary, technical findings, proof-of-concept evidence, CVSS risk ratings and step-by-step fix instructions your developers can act on immediately.

Why XHack

Results that matter, nothing that doesn't

Every finding is verified

No scanner noise, no padded informational findings. Everything we report is verified, exploitable and actionable.

Free retesting included

After your team ships fixes, we verify remediation actually worked — and did not introduce new issues.

Strict confidentiality

Data encrypted in transit and at rest, access limited to assigned researchers, artifacts destroyed after the agreed retention period.

Rules of Engagement

We never deviate from the agreed scope without written authorization, and escalate anything urgent through your agreed channel first.

Questions

VAPT, answered

A Vulnerability Assessment (VA) prioritises breadth — it identifies and prioritises as many weaknesses as possible across your environment. Penetration Testing adds depth — testers safely exploit selected findings to prove real-world impact. VAPT combines both: the coverage of assessment with the proof of exploitation.

A typical VAPT runs 2–4 weeks depending on scope and the number of targets. Scoping happens up front so the timeline and testing windows are agreed before any testing begins.

Web applications, network infrastructure, cloud environments (AWS/Azure/GCP), mobile apps (iOS/Android) and APIs/microservices (REST, GraphQL, gRPC, WebSocket). Scope is defined precisely in the Rules of Engagement.

Yes, with your explicit permission we run XHack’s autonomous AI penetration-testing agents alongside our human researchers, at no additional cost. The agents add breadth and machine-scale probing while our testers add depth and judgement, so you get materially more coverage from the same engagement. The agentic pass is strictly opt-in and runs only against the targets you authorize, inside the same Rules of Engagement.

Yes. Every VAPT engagement includes a free retest window. After you implement fixes, we verify each vulnerability has been properly remediated.

Our reports are structured to satisfy PCI DSS, SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA and GDPR requirements, methodology, tools, findings with CVSS scoring, evidence of testing and remediation verification.

All engagements run under a signed NDA. Test data is encrypted in transit and at rest, access is limited to assigned researchers, and all engagement artifacts are securely destroyed after the agreed retention period. See our Security & Trust page for full detail.
