What this service does
CyberYaro combines vulnerability assessment with hands-on penetration testing to evaluate how web applications, mobile apps, APIs, networks, cloud services, and connected systems hold up against realistic attack paths. Automated discovery is paired with manual validation so the final report focuses on security issues that matter, not scanner noise.
For organisations preparing a launch, changing infrastructure, meeting assurance requirements, responding to customer security reviews, or validating whether existing controls can resist real attack techniques.
Coverage
What the engagement can include.
Final scope is agreed before work begins so both teams know what is authorised, what is excluded, and what evidence or outputs are expected.
Mobile Application VAPT
Included when relevant to the agreed engagement scope and threat model.
API Penetration Testing
Included when relevant to the agreed engagement scope and threat model.
Internal & External Network Testing
Included when relevant to the agreed engagement scope and threat model.
Cloud Security Testing
Included when relevant to the agreed engagement scope and threat model.
IoT & Connected Device Testing
Included when relevant to the agreed engagement scope and threat model.
Engagement path
Controlled from scope through remediation.
The process is designed to generate useful evidence without creating unnecessary risk to the systems being assessed.
Scope and rules of engagement
Define objectives, assets, permissions, timing, and stop conditions.
Reconnaissance and attack-surface mapping
Work through the agreed scope with evidence, judgement, and clear communication.
Automated discovery and manual testing
Work through the agreed scope with evidence, judgement, and clear communication.
Controlled exploitation and validation
Work through the agreed scope with evidence, judgement, and clear communication.
Risk rating and reporting
Work through the agreed scope with evidence, judgement, and clear communication.
Remediation support and retest
Close the loop with practical action, verification, and next-step recommendations.
Deliverables
Reporting built for both decision-makers and technical teams.
Findings should be understandable enough to prioritise and detailed enough to fix.

Questions
Before you scope the engagement.
What is the difference between VA and penetration testing?
Vulnerability assessment identifies and categorises potential weaknesses. Penetration testing uses authorised offensive techniques to validate exploitability, attack paths, and impact. VAPT combines both activities into one structured assessment.
What information is needed for a VAPT quote?
The key inputs are the assets in scope, application or network type, number of environments, authentication model, testing window, whether production is included, and any assurance deadline. A short scoping questionnaire can turn that into an accurate engagement plan.
Can cloud systems still need penetration testing?
Yes. Cloud platforms provide secure building blocks, but application code, identities, permissions, network rules, APIs, secrets, and configuration remain organisation-specific and can create exploitable weaknesses.
What tools are commonly used during VAPT?
Depending on scope, common tooling includes Burp Suite, OWASP ZAP, Nmap, vulnerability scanners such as Nessus-class tools, Wireshark, API clients, and controlled exploitation frameworks. Tools support the work; manual analysis remains essential.
Do you retest after remediation?
Yes. A retest can focus on the reported findings and relevant attack paths to confirm whether fixes are effective and whether compensating changes introduced new issues.
