VAPT
Find weaknesses before attackers do
A Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing platform to proactively identify, prioritise, and remediate security risks across your infrastructure — with the reporting your auditors expect.
Overview
From scan results to fixed systems
Scanning is the easy part — most teams drown in the findings. Applaude VAPT pairs automated vulnerability scanning with risk scoring that accounts for exploitability and asset criticality, so your team works the ten findings that matter instead of the thousand that don't.
Structured penetration testing workflows let internal teams or external testers document engagements in one place, and remediation tracking assigns every accepted finding an owner and a deadline. Verification rescans confirm the fix — and compliance-ready reports turn the whole cycle into audit evidence for ISO 27001 and SOC 2.
Capabilities
What VAPT does for you
Automated Vulnerability Scanning
Scheduled scans across servers, network devices, and web applications, with asset scope driven by the CMDB.
Penetration Testing Workflows
Structured engagement tracking for internal red teams and external testers — scope, findings, and evidence in one place.
Risk Scoring & Prioritisation
Findings ranked by exploitability and asset criticality — work the vulnerabilities that actually matter first.
Remediation Tracking
Every accepted finding gets an owner, a deadline, and a verification rescan — no fix left unconfirmed.
Compliance Reporting
Audit-ready reports mapped to ISO 27001 and SOC 2 requirements, generated straight from scan history.
CMDB-Aware Scanning
New assets discovered by the CMDB join the scan scope automatically — unknown systems don't stay untested.
Better Together
Part of an integrated suite
CMDB
Scan scope follows the live asset inventory, and findings attach to the affected configuration items.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between vulnerability assessment and penetration testing?
A vulnerability assessment is an automated, broad scan that identifies known weaknesses across many systems. Penetration testing is a manual, targeted exercise where a tester attempts to exploit weaknesses the way a real attacker would. Applaude VAPT supports both in one platform — automated scanning for coverage, structured pentest workflows for depth.
How often should we run vulnerability scans?
Most frameworks expect at least quarterly scans, but monthly or continuous scanning is best practice for internet-facing assets. Applaude VAPT supports scheduled scans at any cadence, plus on-demand scans after significant changes.
Can VAPT reports be used for ISO 27001 or SOC 2 audits?
Yes. Reports map findings and remediation history to control requirements, giving auditors the evidence of a working vulnerability management process — scan coverage, risk treatment decisions, and verified fixes.
How does remediation verification work?
When a finding is marked fixed, the platform schedules a verification rescan of the affected asset. The finding is only closed when the rescan confirms the vulnerability is gone, keeping remediation metrics honest.
