VAPT FAQs

What is VAPT testing?

VAPT (Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing) is a comprehensive security testing approach that combines automated vulnerability scanning with manual penetration testing. It identifies security weaknesses in your systems, applications, and networks, then attempts to exploit them safely to assess real-world risk.

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 typically require 10-14 days.

How much does VAPT cost in 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, and compliance requirements.

Is penetration testing mandatory for NESA compliance?

Yes, penetration testing is a requirement for NESA compliance in the UAE. Organizations classified as Critical Information Infrastructure must conduct regular security assessments including penetration testing.

Do you provide retesting after remediation?

Yes, we include complimentary retesting for all identified vulnerabilities in our Professional and Enterprise VAPT packages. We verify fixes are effective and no new vulnerabilities were introduced.
