VAPT — Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing

VAPT combines automated scanning with structured, human-led penetration testing to produce an audit-defensible assessment. It is the right choice when you need more than a scan report — when results must stand up to auditors, customers or regulators.

SecNxt's VAPT workspace adds methodology checklists, a peer-review workflow, verification tiers, environmental risk scoring, attack chains and a professional PDF report.

Findings carry a verification tier — detected, verified or human-confirmed — so reviewers can distinguish raw tool output from analyst-confirmed issues.

Testers work through methodology checklists for coverage, draft findings, and move them through review (draft → in review → approved) before they appear in the final report.

Each finding gets likelihood/impact rationale, CVSS environmental scoring, remediation SLAs and a stable SECNXT- identifier; related issues can be linked into attack chains.

Continuous re-assessment can schedule recurring runs and capture posture snapshots so trends are tracked over time.

1. 1Open the VAPT engine for the asset you want assessed.
2. 2Work the methodology checklists to ensure coverage of each area.
3. 3Confirm and enrich findings, setting verification tier and environmental score.
4. 4Send findings through peer review until approved.
5. 5Generate the professional PDF report for stakeholders or auditors.

• Customer or regulator security assessments that need a signed-off report.
• Annual penetration tests with defensible methodology and coverage.
• MSSPs and consultancies delivering client engagements.

• Use the peer-review workflow — a second set of eyes is what makes a report defensible.
• Set remediation SLAs and target dates so findings have clear ownership and deadlines.

What makes a report 'audit-defensible'?

Documented methodology and coverage, human verification of findings, clear risk rationale, and consistent identifiers — all of which the VAPT workspace produces.

Can I re-test and show progress?

Yes. Remediation and retest results, plus run-over-run trend snapshots, are captured and included in the report.
