Find your security gaps before attackers do
QAble conducts manual-first vulnerability assessments and penetration tests across web, API, network, and cloud, delivering compliance-ready reports with step-by-step remediation guidance your team can act on.
Assessment coverage for:
Engineering teams that rely on QAble
What VAPT actually means
A definition for engineering and product leaders deciding what level of security assurance their product needs and when to commission it.
Vulnerability assessment
Systematic identification of weaknesses across your attack surface using automated scanning and manual analysis. The assessment phase maps the full scope of risk before any exploitation begins.
Penetration testing
Controlled exploitation of confirmed vulnerabilities to prove which weaknesses are genuinely reachable and measure real-world impact. Every finding includes proof-of-concept evidence.
Combined VAPT approach
VAPT combines the breadth of a vulnerability assessment with the depth of a penetration test: full attack surface coverage with exploitation evidence and a clear remediation path.
Commission VAPT when:
Why security vulnerabilities keep reaching production
Common outcomes without regular security testing
Security vulnerabilities discovered in production after deployment, by attackers rather than your team
ReactiveCompliance requirements (ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI-DSS) demanding documented penetration testing evidence
ComplianceNo clear picture of your real attack surface or where exploitable risk actually lives
VisibilityPenetration test reports that list vulnerabilities without actionable remediation guidance
ReportingSecurity assessments treated as one-time checkboxes rather than continuous risk management
StrategyThe QAble Solution
Security breaches exploit known vulnerabilities that a penetration test would have found before they were exploited. QAble identifies what is exposed, proves what is exploitable, and delivers a clear path to fix it.
Attack surface coverage
Web, API, network and cloud entry points assessed against real attacker techniques.
Compliance readiness
Reports mapped to ISO 27001, SOC 2, and PCI-DSS controls for direct audit use.
Risk prioritisation
Findings severity-ranked by exploitability and impact, so your team fixes what matters first.
Remediation guidance
Step-by-step fix guidance for every finding, validated with a retest before closure.
What QAble VAPT covers
From web applications to cloud infrastructure: QAble assesses your full attack surface with manual testing depth.
Web application VAPT
Black-box, grey-box, and white-box assessments of web applications against OWASP Top 10, business logic flaws, and authentication weaknesses.
API security testing
REST and GraphQL API assessments covering authentication, authorisation, injection, mass assignment, and data exposure vulnerabilities.
Network penetration testing
Internal and external network assessments targeting infrastructure, exposed services, configuration gaps, and lateral movement paths.
Cloud security assessment
AWS, Azure, and GCP environment reviews covering IAM misconfigurations, exposed storage, insecure serverless functions, and privilege escalation paths.
Mobile application VAPT
iOS and Android security testing covering local data storage, traffic interception, reverse engineering, and platform-specific vulnerabilities.
Social engineering assessment
Phishing simulations and human-layer security testing that quantify people risk and identify gaps in security awareness across your organisation.
QAble VAPT methodology
A structured engagement model from scoping to remediation validation: no findings without evidence, no report without a fix path.
Scoping and planning
Define target scope, testing methodology, rules of engagement and success criteria with your team before any active testing begins.
Reconnaissance
Passive and active information gathering on the defined target, mapping the attack surface, identifying entry points and enumerating exposed services.
Vulnerability assessment
Systematic identification of weaknesses across the scope using manual analysis and targeted tooling, prioritised by exploitability and impact.
Exploitation and validation
Controlled exploitation of confirmed vulnerabilities to validate exploitability and measure real-world impact, with no theoretical findings included.
Report and remediation
Detailed findings report with severity ratings, proof-of-concept evidence and step-by-step remediation guidance your team can act on immediately.
What QAble delivers
Every VAPT engagement closes with a complete report package: from board-level summary to technical proof-of-concept and a retest certificate.

Security vulnerabilities we find and fix
The most common security exposures QAble identifies across web, API, network, and cloud environments.
Unpatched known vulnerabilities
CVEs left unpatched in production systems, creating exploitable entry points that automated scanners and attackers actively target
Broken authentication
Weak session management, default credentials, missing MFA, or insecure token handling creating direct unauthorised access paths
OWASP Top 10 exposures
SQL injection, XSS, IDOR, and SSRF vulnerabilities that remain prevalent across web applications and are actively exploited at scale
Cloud misconfiguration
Exposed storage buckets, overly permissive IAM roles, and publicly accessible services creating data exposure and privilege escalation risk
Insecure API endpoints
APIs missing authorisation checks, rate limiting, or input validation, exposing backend data and functionality to unauthenticated callers
No security testing evidence
Compliance audits stalling or failing because there is no documented penetration testing record to satisfy ISO 27001, SOC 2, or PCI-DSS requirements

Why choose QAble
QAble delivers VAPT engagements that go beyond scanner output: manual depth, compliance-ready reporting, and a retest to confirm every fix.
QAble VAPT expertise
Questions buyers actually ask.
Direct answers to the questions we get on the first advisor call.
What is the difference between a vulnerability assessment and a penetration test?
A vulnerability assessment identifies and catalogues potential weaknesses in your environment: it is broader and typically faster, using automated and manual scanning. A penetration test goes further: it attempts to actively exploit confirmed vulnerabilities to determine real-world impact. VAPT combines both: the assessment phase maps risk, and the penetration phase validates which vulnerabilities are actually exploitable and how far an attacker could go.
Do you provide a retest after we fix the findings?
Yes. Every QAble VAPT engagement includes a retest cycle. Once your team has remediated the reported findings, QAble retests the specific vulnerabilities to confirm the fixes are effective and the exposure is closed. You receive a retest confirmation report and compliance-ready closure certificate.
Which compliance frameworks do your reports map to?
QAble VAPT reports are structured to support ISO 27001:2022, SOC 2 Type I/II, PCI-DSS v4.0, and GDPR technical controls. Findings are mapped to the relevant control requirements in each framework, making the reports directly usable as audit evidence without additional reformatting.
How long does a VAPT engagement take?
Engagement duration depends on scope. A targeted single-application or API assessment typically runs 1–2 weeks from kickoff to report delivery. A full-scope engagement covering web, API, network, and cloud infrastructure typically takes 2–6 weeks. Timelines are confirmed during scoping: QAble will not start active testing before scope and rules of engagement are agreed in writing.
