— What We Test

Six attack surfaces. One CREST-certified team.

Every engagement pairs automated scanning with manual exploitation by CREST and OSCP-certified testers — mapped to OWASP, PTES and NIST, and scoped to the frameworks that apply to your business.

Infrastructure

Network & Infrastructure

External and internal testing across firewalls, VPNs, servers and network segmentation.

Common finding: legacy TLS ciphers, flat internal networks

Application

Web Application

OWASP Top 10 coverage, business-logic abuse, authentication bypass and injection testing.

Common finding: broken access control, session flaws

Mobile

Mobile Application

iOS and Android assessment covering local storage, keystore handling and API abuse.

Common finding: insecure local data storage

API

API Security

Authorization, rate limiting and data-exposure testing across REST, GraphQL and internal APIs.

Common finding: broken object-level authorization

Cloud

Cloud Security

AWS, Azure and GCP configuration review against CIS benchmarks and IAM privilege mapping.

Common finding: over-permissioned IAM roles

Web3

Blockchain & Smart Contract

EVM exploit simulation, DeFi attack paths, wallet security and VARA-scoped platform testing.

Common finding: reentrancy, unchecked external calls

— How It Runs

A fixed six-stage process, every time.

No two attack surfaces are identical, but the sequence never changes — so you always know what stage your engagement is in.

Scoping

Define targets, boundaries and success criteria with your team.

Recon

Map infrastructure, applications and likely attack vectors.

Discovery

Automated scanning plus manual testing to surface weaknesses.

Exploitation

Safely exploit findings to prove real-world impact.

Reporting

CVSS-scored findings, evidence, and a prioritized fix roadmap.

Retest

Free verification that remediations actually close the gap.

— Why ITSEC

Manual testers, not just a scan report with a logo on it.

— Questions

Penetration testing FAQs

What is VAPT?

VAPT (Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing) combines automated scanning with manual, expert-led exploitation. The assessment maps every weakness it can find; the penetration test proves which of those weaknesses an attacker could actually get through.

How long does a penetration test take?

A typical penetration test takes 5–14 business days depending on scope. Basic external testing may take 5–7 days, while comprehensive enterprise assessments including internal networks, web applications and mobile apps typically require 10–14 days.

How much does penetration testing cost in the UAE?

VAPT costs in UAE typically range from AED 35,000 for basic SME assessments to AED 180,000+ for comprehensive enterprise Red Team engagements. Pricing depends on scope, testing depth, compliance requirements and turnaround time.

Is penetration testing mandatory for UAE compliance?

Yes, penetration testing is a requirement for NESA compliance and is expected under VARA, DFSA and CBUAE frameworks for regulated entities. The frequency depends on your classification tier, with annual testing being the minimum for most organizations.

Do you retest after we fix the vulnerabilities?

Yes, we include complimentary retesting for all identified vulnerabilities. After your team remediates the findings, we verify the fixes are effective and no new vulnerabilities were introduced.
