VAPT isn't just about security. It's about what a weakness could cost your business.
From web applications and APIs to mobile apps and infrastructure, we assess agreed targets, validate potential weaknesses where safely possible, and explain what the evidence means for your business, so your team can prioritize remediation based on risk, not guesswork.
Defined scope. Validated findings. Actionable guidance.
How our testing approach works
We define the authorized scope, examine the relevant attack surface, validate potential weaknesses and explain their significance. Each stage supports evidence-based findings and practical remediation guidance.
Scope & Authorization
Agree assessment objectives, in-scope assets, access requirements, exclusions and testing rules before work begins. Testing starts only after written authorization is confirmed.
Attack-Surface Discovery
Map in-scope applications, endpoints, exposed services, dependencies and trust boundaries to identify areas that warrant closer examination.
Application & Workflow Mapping
Examine key workflows, user roles, authentication states and authorization boundaries to understand how application functions and permissions interact.
Security Assessment
Combine appropriate automated checks with manual testing to examine application logic, access controls, configurations and integrations for weaknesses.
Validation & Controlled Exploitation
Investigate suspected weaknesses and, where authorized and safe, demonstrate their practical impact within agreed testing limits. Record any validation constraints clearly.
Impact & Risk Analysis
Assess affected assets, exposure, exploitation conditions and potential business consequences. Prioritize findings in context rather than relying on severity scores alone.
Reporting & Remediation Guidance
Document findings with supporting evidence, affected components, risk context and practical recommendations tailored to the assessed environment.
Remediation & Retesting
Where included in the agreed engagement, reassess reported findings after corrective work and document whether each issue is resolved or requires further attention.
What the engagement delivers
A security assessment should leave your team with a clear account of the validated findings, why they matter and what can be done to address them. Deliverables are defined by the agreed scope and reporting requirements.
Executive summary
A concise overview of the assessment, significant findings and overall risk considerations for business and technical stakeholders.
Technical findings
Documentation of identified weaknesses, affected components, validation context and relevant technical details.
Supporting evidence
Appropriate evidence to substantiate reported findings and help the relevant team understand and reproduce the observed issue.
Risk and business impact
Context to help teams understand the potential consequences of a finding and prioritize corrective work.
Remediation guidance
Practical recommendations intended to help address the underlying weakness and reduce the associated risk.
Evidence & Proof of Work
Trixent's technical research, proof-of-work examples and supporting security material will appear here as they are reviewed and approved for public release.
