Black Box Testing
Testing the system like a hacker would — no prior knowledge of the internal networks and systems. Simulates a real-world external attacker perspective.
Businesses across Australia, India, USA & Canada secured by our cybersecurity experts




































About Our VAPT Service
VAPT identifies vulnerabilities across systems, applications, networks, and cloud environments — then analyses real-world risk by safely exploiting them exactly as a motivated attacker would.
We go beyond identification and reporting. CyberSapiens assists with remediation and re-validates every fix, so you close the loop instead of inheriting a checklist. Our manual-first approach catches business-logic flaws and chained attacks that automated scanners miss entirely.
Teams across Australia, India, Canada & USA deliver audit-ready reports mapped to OWASP, PTES, and NIST SP 800-115.

Learn moreOur Process
Aligned with OWASP, PTES, and NIST SP 800-115 — combining automated breadth with manual depth.
Build a detailed understanding of the design, architecture, functionality, and security posture of the target environment.
Manual-first approach supported by industry tools (Burp Suite, Nmap, Metasploit) to surface weaknesses across the in-scope attack surface.
Each finding is validated to eliminate false positives. Attack vectors are explored through multiple methods to understand exploitability.
Controlled exploits and simulated attacks evaluate the true impact and risk. Advanced tools and open-source scripts achieve a high degree of penetration.
An evaluation report categorises findings as Critical, High, Medium, or Low — with CVSS severity ratings, proof-of-concept evidence, and compliance mapping.
Our experts guide fixes, confirm patches are effective, and issue a CyberSapiens Secured safe-to-host certificate once all vulnerabilities are resolved.
Testing Approaches
Scope is defined based on the assets to be tested and the level of access provided to our testers.
Testing the system like a hacker would — no prior knowledge of the internal networks and systems. Simulates a real-world external attacker perspective.
Testing with partial knowledge of internal networks. A combination of black-box and white-box — the most common approach for Australian engagements.
Full-access VAPT performed from within the network — complete knowledge of architecture and systems. Delivers the deepest possible coverage.
What You Get
More than a report — a complete path from finding to fix.
Clear summary of every vulnerability — its nature, impact, exploitability, CVSS rating, and proactive remediation steps. Executive summary plus full technical detail.
The CyberSapiens Secured certificate validates your infrastructure is secured — compliant with ISO 27001, HIPAA, and GDPR continuous monitoring requirements.
OSCP and CEH certified experts with 15–20 years' experience. Manual testing finds what automated tools miss — there's no substitute for the human mind.
Case Study
A practical way to assess VAPT companies is to look at how they support real businesses under time, budget, and product-delivery pressure.
CyberSapiens supported an Australian fintech founder with vulnerability assessment and penetration testing focused on practical risk reduction, clear remediation, and developer-friendly reporting — helping the client move from assessment to action without slowing product delivery.
Needed a VAPT partner who could work within practical business constraints, understand fintech priorities, assess platform security risks, and provide guidance the development team could use without slowing delivery.
Delivered vulnerability assessment and penetration testing focused on priority risks, practical advice, clear remediation steps, and direct support for the client's technical implementation team.
The engagement helped the client move from assessment to action — findings translated into clear solutions that supported faster remediation and stronger long-term security confidence.
"I am a FinTech founder. I engaged Claude Pinto and his team from CyberSapiens to help me with Vulnerability and Penetration Testing for my FinWhiz Platform. They were not only extremely professional but very accommodating. They worked within our budget and timeframes. They understood our priorities and delivered to them. They provided practical advice for our situation. They also provided development teams with clear solutions which sped implementation. We are proud to partner with CyberSapiens as long-term partners and have no hesitation in recommending them to other founders and businesses."

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about vulnerability assessment and penetration testing — answered by our security team.
VAPT are two integrated security services. Vulnerability Assessment focuses on identifying and categorising weaknesses in systems. Penetration Testing simulates real-world attacks to exploit those weaknesses and assess actual impact. Together they provide a comprehensive picture of your security posture.
Yes. Vulnerability Assessment focuses on the core security of your systems — patching and configuration best practices. Penetration Testing focuses on real-world attack simulation from an external perspective. We recommend combining both for complete coverage.
Cost depends on an effort-estimate based on your IT infrastructure size, application scope, and number of locations. We offer a free consultation to scope requirements and provide an approximate cost. Flat pricing, zero hidden charges.
Information Security experts from CyberSapiens — OSCP and CEH certified with 15–20 years' experience. All undergo extensive background checks with confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements.
Internal vulnerability assessment typically starts within 3–5 business days after the official work order. Expedited testing is available and can be scheduled per your convenience.
Yes. A CyberSapiens Secured certificate is provided for each VAPT audit upon successful completion and remediation.
Risks are significantly reduced with proper planning — test environments, monitoring devices, and recovery procedures. We plan thoroughly, but if a tester can crash a system, an attacker can too. Better to find out in a controlled engagement.
A detailed report covering scope, methodology used, vulnerability findings with proof-of-concept, CVSS severity ratings, compliance mapping, and prioritised remediation recommendations.
Until the application is patched properly. Some organisations audit annually, others monthly or quarterly. Frequency depends on risk appetite, compliance requirements, and the rate of change in your environment.
Networks are more vulnerable than ever with mobile apps, IoT, and cloud adoption. VAPT validates security against real-world threats, identifies risks, and helps you understand actual impact — protecting assets before an attack happens.
Duration varies by network size and application scope. A free consultation helps determine the approximate duration for your specific environment.
Three scopes: Black Box (no prior knowledge, external attacker simulation), Grey Box (partial knowledge, combination approach), and White Box (full access, deepest coverage from within the network).
Primarily manual testing — there's no substitute for the human mind. Supported by Metasploit, Burp Suite, Nmap, and other tools as required. Tool selection varies based on environment assessment.
Yes. We check web applications and networking devices for DoS & DDoS attacks — showing how many concurrent connections an application or device can maintain before failure.
