Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT)
Logistics and Transportation
Logistics UK managed its day-to-day operations through a dedicated web application. The organisation was facing recurring security issues and lacked clear visibility into existing vulnerabilities, making it difficult to identify, assess, and address security risks effectively.
Planned and executed a complete vulnerability scan of the web application
Conducted a comprehensive VAPT assessment to identify security weaknesses
Exploited identified vulnerabilities using an attacker’s approach
Evaluated the application’s overall security posture and prepared recommendations
Identifying hidden vulnerabilities across the web application required extensive testing to understand the full security exposure.
Assessing the impact of identified vulnerabilities and mapping them to sensitive data protection needs required detailed analysis.
We performed VAPT using OWASP security testing, NIST, PTES, and OSSTMM guidelines. Threat modelling was carried out to understand vulnerability impact, and a Security Audit Report (SAR) was prepared to support remediation. The assessment covered the application’s front-end, backend, and database environment.
Identified security gaps within the tested application
Delivered a comprehensive audit report highlighting vulnerabilities, policy gaps, and error-handling documentation requirements
Proposed simplified internal and external security practices, which Logistics UK implemented within the project timeline
