Penetration Testing & VAPT

Overview

A vulnerability scan tells you what might be wrong. A penetration test proves what an attacker can actually do. Cyferra's testing team simulates real-world attack techniques against your applications, infrastructure, and APIs to uncover the weaknesses that matter — and shows you exactly how to close them.

Our assessments follow recognised methodologies including the OWASP Testing Guide, OWASP API Security Top 10, and PTES, and are scoped to satisfy the requirements of frameworks such as PCI DSS, ISO 27001, and the CBB Cybersecurity Framework that many Bahrain and GCC organisations must evidence.

Our approach

1. 1

   Scoping & rules of engagement

   We agree targets, test windows, exclusions, and escalation contacts in writing before any testing begins.

2. 2

   Reconnaissance & mapping

   We enumerate the attack surface — hosts, endpoints, roles, and business logic — to plan meaningful attack paths.

3. 3

   Exploitation & validation

   Findings are manually exploited and validated in a controlled way, eliminating false positives from automated tools.

4. 4

   Reporting & debrief

   You receive an executive summary for leadership and step-by-step technical detail for engineers, followed by a live debrief.

5. 5

   Retest & closure

   Once fixes are applied, we retest and issue an updated report you can share with auditors, regulators, and clients.
