VAPT AUDIT AS PER RBI NORMS and guidelines
Up to 70% of website/network vulnerabilities could result in the theft of confidential company information, including client lists and credit card details. The focus of hackers’ attention is on web-based apps. An automated, quick examination of servers, network devices, and other systems is known as a vulnerability assessment. Its goal is to find critical configuration flaws and vulnerabilities that an attacker could exploit.
Basic Features
Vulnerability Assessment :
A Vulnerability Assessment is a rapid automated review of network devices, servers and systems to identify key vulnerabilities and configuration issues that an attacker may be able to take advantage off. Its generally conducted within the network on internal devices and due to its low footprint can be carried out as often as every day.
As many as 70% of websites/network vulnerabilities could lead to the theft of sensitive corporate data such as credit card information & customer lists. Hackers are concentrating their efforts on web based applications- shopping cards, forms, login pages, dynamic content etc.
Penetration Testing :
A Penetration Test is an in-depth expert-driven activity focused on identifying various possible routes an attacker could use to break into the network.
In-addition with the vulnerabilities it also identifies the potential damage and further internal compromise an attacker could carry out once they are past the perimeter.

VAPT METHODOLOGY
We pursue a holistic approach to execute VAPT audits. A complete analysis of the existing security posture and suggestions for reducing the exposure to currently recognized vulnerabilities adds to the client’s benefits. We facilitate the clients to make informed decisions and manage the exposure of dangers in a better manner.
We develop a detailed understanding of the design, architecture, functionality, and security systems of the target which will help in the further process.
The next step is to Identify Vulnerabilities, where we use a complete manual approach. Once the vulnerabilities are identified, they are then sent to the next stage.
The identified vulnerabilities from the previous steps are assessed here to validate them and further try out with multiple methods to understand the attack vectors.
At this stage, we run exploits and dummy attacks to evaluate the Impact and Risk of the vulnerability. To achieve a high degree of penetration, we use advanced tools and open-source scripts.
As a conclusion to our VAPT audit, we submit an evaluation report. We accumulate the gathered information and brief out the findings. The report contains an elaborate analysis of the vulnerabilities. The vulnerabilities are divided into categories of Critical, High, Medium, and Low.
After successfully completing the process of audit, our experts suggests solutions to fix and eliminate the identified vulnerabilities. We also ensure that the changes are implemented and the vulnerabilities are patched. In our final assessment, we reflect on the security status of the network.
Advantages of VAPT
Types of VAPT Audit
- Network VAPT
Network VAPT’s main objectives are to reduce the likelihood of unauthorized access, data breaches, and other cyber threats, as well as to proactively detect and fix vulnerabilities and improve the network’s overall security posture. Organizations may maintain a proactive security posture and guarantee the strength of their network defenses by regularly performing VAPT assessments.

2. Web Application VAPT
A web application penetration test aims to identify security vulnerabilities resulting from insecure development practices in the design, coding and publishing of software or a website.
Web app penetration tests test will generally include:
- Testing user authentication to verify that accounts cannot compromise data;
- Assessing the web applications for flaws and vulnerabilities, such as XSS (cross-site scripting);
- Confirming the secure configuration of web browsers and identifying features that can cause vulnerabilities; and
- Safeguarding web server security and database server security.
The vulnerabilities are presented in a format that allows an organization to assess their relative business risk and the cost of remediation. These can then be resolved in line with the application owner’s budget and risk appetite, inducing a proportionate response to cyber risks.
IT Audit and Compliance
Quality IT audit services provide assistance in enhancing security and internal controls.
- Organizations need to continuously assess their capacity to safeguard information assets in today’s information-driven business scenario. Information must continue to be made available to authorised persons, in addition to security procedures and development processes.
- A company’s ability to maintain these processes should be assessed, and recommendations for improvement should be given, as part of an IT audit. Businesses that use effective IT audit services are able to accomplish their IT goals and objectives in addition to strengthening internal controls and security.
- Organisations may better understand their primary technology risks and the extent to which they are being mitigated and controlled by utilising the IT internal audit services offered by TECHSHIELD CYBER SOLUTION. The risks that are present in today’s extremely advanced technology are explained by our services.
