VAPT stands for Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing. It combines two activities that together give a complete picture of your security weaknesses.

Vulnerability Assessment

A Vulnerability Assessment identifies and lists weaknesses across your systems, usually with a mix of automated scanning and manual review.

Penetration Testing

Penetration Testing goes further and actively exploits the weaknesses to show real impact, the way an attacker would. It proves which issues truly matter.

Why do both

The assessment finds breadth, the penetration test proves depth. Together they prioritise the fixes that reduce real risk. Univate delivers both with a remediation re test.
