Vulnerability Scanning
We use advanced scanning tools to identify potential security weaknesses in your systems, networks, and applications.
Vulnerability Analysis
Our security experts analyze the scan results to identify genuine vulnerabilities, eliminate false positives, and assess the potential impact of each vulnerability.
Penetration Testing
We attempt to exploit identified vulnerabilities to determine their severity and the potential impact on your organization if they were exploited by malicious actors.
Reporting & Documentation
We provide a comprehensive report detailing our findings, including vulnerability descriptions, severity ratings, potential impacts, and specific remediation recommendations.
Remediation Support
We offer guidance and support to help you address the identified vulnerabilities, prioritizing the most critical issues first.
Critical for Healthcare Facilities
The Abu Dhabi Healthcare Information and Cyber Security (ADHICS) standard mandates VAPT for healthcare facilities in Abu Dhabi for several critical reasons.
Protection of Sensitive Patient Data
Healthcare facilities handle highly sensitive patient information, including medical records, financial data, and personal details. VAPT helps identify vulnerabilities in their systems that could be exploited by malicious actors to steal or compromise this data.
Ensuring Continuity of Care
Healthcare facilities rely on complex IT systems to deliver patient care. A successful cyber-attack can disrupt these systems, leading to delays in treatment, compromised medical devices, and even life-threatening situations. VAPT helps identify and address vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.
Regulatory Compliance
Healthcare facilities must comply with various regulations and standards related to data protection and cybersecurity. VAPT is often a requirement for compliance with these regulations, helping facilities avoid penalties and legal issues.
Building Trust with Patients
Patients trust healthcare facilities with their most sensitive information. By demonstrating a commitment to robust cybersecurity measures, including VAPT, healthcare providers can build trust with patients and assure them that their data is safe.
Staying Ahead of Cyber Threats
The cyber threat landscape is constantly evolving, with new vulnerabilities and attack vectors emerging regularly. VAPT allows healthcare facilities to proactively identify and address these threats before they can be exploited, ensuring a strong defense against cyber-attacks.
How We Protected a Healthcare Provider
Learn how our VAPT services helped a major healthcare provider identify and address critical vulnerabilities, ensuring ADHICS compliance and protecting sensitive patient data.
The Challenge
A large healthcare provider with multiple facilities needed to comply with the ADHICS standard while ensuring the security of their patient data and critical systems. They had experienced rapid digital transformation but lacked a comprehensive security assessment program.
Our Solution
We implemented a comprehensive VAPT program that included:
- External and internal vulnerability assessments of all critical systems
- Web application security testing for patient portals and internal applications
- Network penetration testing to identify exploitable vulnerabilities
- Social engineering testing to assess staff security awareness
The Results
Our VAPT program identified several critical vulnerabilities that could have led to unauthorized access to patient data and disruption of healthcare services. We provided detailed remediation guidance, helping the client address these issues and achieve ADHICS compliance. The healthcare provider now conducts regular VAPT assessments as part of their ongoing security program, significantly improving their security posture and protecting sensitive patient information.
Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about our VAPT services and approach.
What is the difference between vulnerability assessment and penetration testing?
Vulnerability assessment is a systematic review of security weaknesses in an information system, focusing on identifying and quantifying vulnerabilities. Penetration testing goes a step further by actively exploiting vulnerabilities to determine whether unauthorized access or other malicious activities are possible. While vulnerability assessment identifies what could go wrong, penetration testing demonstrates what an attacker can actually do with those vulnerabilities.
How often should we conduct VAPT?
The frequency of VAPT depends on several factors, including your industry, regulatory requirements, and risk profile. Generally, we recommend conducting VAPT at least annually, but organizations with high-risk profiles or those subject to strict regulations may need more frequent assessments. Additionally, VAPT should be performed after significant changes to your IT infrastructure, such as deploying new systems or applications, major updates, or network reconfigurations.
Will VAPT disrupt our normal business operations?
We design our VAPT processes to minimize disruption to your business operations. Most vulnerability scanning and many penetration testing activities can be conducted without any noticeable impact. For more intrusive tests that might affect system performance or stability, we schedule these during off-hours or maintenance windows. We always work closely with your team to plan the assessment in a way that balances security testing needs with business continuity requirements.
How do you ensure the security of our sensitive data during VAPT?
We take the security and confidentiality of your data extremely seriously. Our team follows strict security protocols and adheres to professional ethics standards. All testing is conducted by vetted security professionals, and we use secure channels for all communications and data transfers. We also sign comprehensive non-disclosure agreements before beginning any work, and all findings are reported securely to authorized personnel only. After the assessment, we ensure all client data is properly removed from our systems according to our data retention policies.
