Sumrite’s testers run your web application VAPT by hand, and the report is issued through a CERT-In empanelled auditor. One team from scoping to sign-off, built for Indian regulators, enterprise buyers and government work.

  • Accepted where it is requiredRegulators, auditors and procurement teams that ask for a CERT-In empanelled auditor’s report, including SEBI-regulated entities and government and PSU contracts.
  • One team, one contractSumrite handles scoping, testing, the report and the retest. You do not manage a second vendor.
  • Real testing, not a scanManual exploitation with evidence for every finding, and a retest after your fixes.

Can Sumrite provide a CERT-In empanelled VAPT report for my web application?

Yes. We run the full engagement for you and route the formal attestation through our network of CERT-In empanelled partner auditors, so you deal with one team from scoping to report.

What is web application VAPT?

Web application VAPT (vulnerability assessment and penetration testing) is an expert-led security test of a website or web app, carried out the way a real attacker would approach it. A tester signs in as different users, changes identifiers in requests, skips steps in workflows and probes the admin side to see what can be reached that should not be. The assessment part maps the weaknesses; the penetration test proves which ones can actually be exploited and what an attacker would gain. The result is a report that ranks each finding by severity, shows the evidence and explains the fix. Buyers ask for one during vendor security reviews, auditors accept it as evidence for things such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS and other frameworks worldwide, and engineering teams use it to fix what matters first. For a scoped web application, Sumrite delivers the report within 48 hours of testing starting.

What the cost of a web application penetration test depends on

Sumrite quotes a fixed price after scoping, because the effort depends on the application rather than on a page count. These are the factors that move the price:

  • Number of user roles and tenants that must be tested against each other
  • Size of the application: modules, workflows and API endpoints behind it
  • Authentication type: SSO, MFA, OAuth flows and session handling
  • Business-logic depth: payments, approvals, multi-step workflows
  • Test environment: staging, production or both
  • Compliance mapping required in the report (SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, NCA, DPDP and others)

What Web Application VAPT covers

AreaWhat we checkExample finding
Authentication and sessionsLogin, password reset, MFA, session expiry and token handlingA reset link that still works after the password has changed
Access controlWhether one user or tenant can read or change another's dataChanging an invoice ID in the URL shows another company's invoice
Business logicCheckout, approvals, coupons and multi-step flowsSkipping the payment step and still receiving the order
Input handlingInjection, cross-site scripting, file uploads, SSRFA profile field that runs script in an admin's browser
ConfigurationSecurity headers, CORS, cookies, error messagesAn API that trusts any Origin with credentials

How an engagement runs

  1. Scope and NDA. Tell us what needs testing and why. You get a fixed-price quote and an NDA is signed before any technical detail changes hands.
  2. Rules of engagement. Targets, test windows, accounts, safety contacts and anything off-limits are agreed in writing before testing starts.
  3. Expert-led testing. A researcher tests by hand, using tools to speed up the routine parts. Every finding is reproduced and confirmed before it is reported.
  4. Report. An executive summary for leadership, then each finding with a CVSS severity, the evidence, steps to reproduce and a fix your team can apply.
  5. Re-test. Once fixes are in, we test them again and record the result, so the final report shows what was found and what is now closed.

Web Application VAPT: common questions

How long does a web application penetration test take?

For a scoped web application, Sumrite delivers the report within 48 hours of testing starting. Larger applications with many roles or integrations take longer; the timeline is confirmed in the quote before any work begins.

Read this in the FAQ →

Is a vulnerability scan the same as web application VAPT?

No. A scanner matches known patterns and produces a list of possible issues. VAPT is expert-led: a tester confirms what is exploitable, chains weaknesses together and tests business logic that scanners cannot understand. Sumrite does not issue scanner output as a penetration test.

Read this in the FAQ →

Do you test in production or staging?

Either. Staging is preferred when it mirrors production closely. If production is the only option, test windows, rate limits and safety contacts are agreed in writing first.

Can you test an AI chatbot or LLM feature in the web app?

Yes. AI assistants, RAG search and agents are tested as part of the application, with prompt injection, data leakage and tool abuse mapped to the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications. See <a href="/services/llm-ai-penetration-testing">LLM and AI application penetration testing</a>.

The problem & our approach

Web apps are the #1 way data gets stolen — scanners alone won’t catch it.

Most breaches start with a flaw in a web application: someone views another customer’s records, bypasses a payment step, or reaches an admin function they should never see. Automated tools miss the business-specific mistakes that actually cause damage.

Sumrite’s Web Application VAPT combines focused automation with expert expert-led testing. We review how people log in, how data moves through your product, and where a motivated attacker could abuse trust in your platform. Every important finding is checked by a researcher — so your report reflects real risk, not noise.

  • Plain-language executive summary for boards and commercial teams
  • Prioritised findings your engineering team can act on immediately
  • Re-testing included before your Sumrite report is issued
For engineering & security teams

Technical overview

A concise view of methodology, scope, and deliverables — without the jargon overload.

Threat-led assessment aligned to OWASP Top 10, with emphasis on access control, authentication, injection, session handling, and business-logic abuse. Cryptographic and configuration issues are validated with proof, not theory.

  • Modern SPAs and classic server-rendered apps
  • APIs and auth endpoints behind the UI
  • Third-party login, payments, and embeds

What you receive

Within 48 hours (standard web scope): severity-rated findings, step-by-step reproduction, HTTP evidence for PoCs, and remediation guidance developers can implement. Plus your Sumrite VAPT report.
