Vulnerability Testing & Threat Simulation
(VAPT)

Stay Ahead of Intrusions – Not Behind Them

Goognu US helps organizations proactively assess their digital environments for weaknesses. From SaaS platforms and cloud services to internal networks and enterprise apps, our VAPT services simulate real-world attacks to reveal risks before they impact operations.

Overview

What is VAPT?

VAPT stands for Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing. It’s how we help you identify weaknesses in your systems, applications, or networks. By simulating real-world attacks, we show you what could go wrong — and how to fix it — before a real threat happens.

Why Is VAPT Testing Critical?

VAPT plays a big role in meeting standards like GDPR, ISO 27001, and PCI DSS. But more than that, it helps you stay ahead of security risks, build stronger protection for sensitive data, and gain the trust of your customers and stakeholders.

Why VAPT is Essential for U.S. Organizations

Why VAPT is Essential for U.S. Organizations

With rising threats and tighter regulations like HIPAA, CCPA, NIST, and SOC 2, U.S. businesses must actively manage cybersecurity risks. VAPT identifies vulnerabilities before attackers exploit them, helping maintain compliance, reduce downtime, and avoid costly breaches. It’s not just about protection—it’s about showing customers, auditors, and partners that your organization takes security seriously.

Our VAPT Process

A step-by-step testing approach where we uncover security gaps, simulate real attacks, and guide your team with clear solutions to strengthen your organization’s cyber defenses.

Scope Definition & Goal Alignment

We identify systems to test, define your security goals, and align with compliance needs like HIPAA or SOC 2 before moving forward.

Recon & Data Collection

Using passive scans and open-source tools, we gather external data to understand your threat surface without triggering any alerts.

Vulnerability Identification

Our team uses manual testing and automated tools to find bugs, outdated software, and misconfigurations that attackers could exploit.

System Mapping

We identify exposed ports, services, and endpoints to understand how your infrastructure is structured and where potential risks may lie.

Controlled Exploitation

Ethical hackers simulate real-world attacks in a safe way to see how vulnerabilities can be used without harming your systems.

Escalation & Lateral Movement Testing

We test how far a hacker could go—like accessing critical data or moving across systems—after getting initial access.

Why Choose Goognu US for Security Testing

Goognu US combines technical depth with business awareness. Our cybersecurity team goes beyond surface-level scanning to deliver real insight into how secure—or exposed—your systems are. We work closely with your internal teams to help reduce risks, meet compliance expectations, and keep systems audit-ready.

Frequently Asked Questions

You must have some doubts regarding VAPT, so to clear your doubts below are the collection of questions and answers which are commonly asked by the clients regarding VAPT.

VAPT is important to avoid cyber threats. By exposing vulnerabilities before VAPT identifies security flaws in your applications, systems, or network infrastructure that could be exploited by attackers—allowing you to fix them before they cause real harm.

Yes. VAPT is expected under standards like SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and NIST, helping organizations demonstrate proactive risk management and protect sensitive data effectively.

The frequency varies depending on factors such as the complexity of the VAPT should be conducted annually or whenever there are major infrastructure updates, new deployments, or after any suspicious activity to ensure ongoing protection and compliance readiness.

Automated tools play a role in the initial scan, but VAPT experts provide No. Scanners detect common issues, but manual testers uncover complex logic flaws, chained vulnerabilities, and real-world attack paths that automated tools often miss or misinterpret.
