Web Application VAPT →
We try to break into your website the way a real attacker would: log in as the wrong user, steal someone else's data, sneak past payment checks, hijack a session. If a bug lets someone see what they shouldn't, we find it.
Penetration Testing & VAPT Services
We Break ItBefore They Do.
We help Pakistani software houses ship safer products. We dig through your web, mobile, cloud and API code to find the security holes a real attacker would — then write the report your overseas client is going to ask for before they sign.

What We Test
Every part of your product gets tested by a human, not just a scanner. That's the only way to catch the bugs that actually get exploited.
Mobile App VAPT →
We pull your Android APK or iOS app apart, then run it on a test phone to see what it actually does. We look for passwords stored in plain text, traffic that can be intercepted on public Wi-Fi, and code that gives away how your backend works.
Cloud Security VAPT →
We review your AWS, Azure or Google Cloud setup the way an attacker who got hold of one developer's access key would. Public storage buckets, over-permissive accounts, exposed admin panels, leaky containers — anything that turns a small mistake into a full compromise.
API Security Testing →
Your APIs are usually where the real damage happens — one user can sometimes read or change another user's data just by tweaking an ID in a request. We test every endpoint by hand with multiple test accounts to surface exactly that kind of flaw.
Network Penetration Testing →
We scan your servers and office network for forgotten services, weak passwords, unpatched software, and ways to jump from one machine to the next. The deliverable is a clear map of how far an attacker could get if they had a foothold inside.
Security Audit & Reporting →
Two reports per engagement: a short one your CEO and your client's CEO can read, and a long one your developers can act on. Every bug has a severity rating, screenshots, exact reproduction steps, and a fix. Once you patch, we re-test for free.
// methodology
How We Work
Six clean steps from "let's talk" to "fixed and signed off". No surprises, no scope creep.
Scoping & Authorization
We agree exactly what is in scope, who can test it, and during which hours. You sign an authorization letter so the work is legally protected.
Reconnaissance
We map everything that's actually exposed — every subdomain, every login page, every API your app talks to. Often we surface assets your own team forgot about.
Vulnerability Discovery
A human goes through the app feature by feature, with the help of professional testing tools. We try the things automated scanners can never figure out.
Exploitation & Proof
When we find something broken, we prove it works: a real exploit, screenshots, exact steps. You'll never get a finding you can't reproduce on your laptop.
Reporting
Two reports: a one-page summary for management, and a full technical write-up your developers can use to patch.
Remediation & Re-test
Once your team fixes the issues, we test every one of them again — for free — and update the report. You get a signed sign-off letter to share with your client.
// built for pakistan
Built for Pakistan's Software Industry
Pakistani software houses build apps for clients in the US, UK, Europe and the Gulf. Those clients almost always ask for an independent security check before they pay. That's exactly the gap we fill — and we're right here in Pakistan.
Reports your client's security team will accept
Every finding is mapped to the security checklists your overseas client's auditors use (OWASP, ISO 27001). You get a signed letter you can attach straight to their procurement form. No more weeks of back-and-forth security questionnaires.
Local time zone & communication
We're on Pakistan time, in your time. Calls happen during your office hours. Questions get answered the same day. The test fits inside your sprint instead of dragging across an ocean of timezone delays.
Billing that works locally
Pay in PKR if you want it simple, or in USD via Upwork or escrow if your overseas client wants a Western billing trail. NDA on request, signed authorization letter on every job.
On-site engagements when needed
Most work is remote, but if it helps we'll come to your office in Karachi, Lahore or Islamabad — sit with your devs, walk through the app, and run a workshop on what to fix and how.
// about
Built by a Hacker.
Trusted by Businesses.
VAPT.PK is led by Hassan Jawaid. He's been breaking into apps legally for over 5 years on bug bounty programs and has spent 3+ years doing the same work as a professional pentester. BS in Computer Science from Sir Syed University in Karachi.
Over 1,000 real bugs reported to companies like Samsung, Binance, cPanel, F5, Ubisoft and SAP. Your project gets the same level of attention — we look at your app the way an actual attacker would, not the way a checklist tells us to.

What Clients Say
Real reviews from clients we worked with on Upwork — 100% Job Success Score, 18 completed jobs.
We engaged Hassan for a penetration test via Upwork — excellent work. Thorough, professional, and communicated clearly throughout the engagement. Delivered actionable findings with clear remediation steps and met deadlines.
Excellent work. Hassan conducted a detailed penetration test and was incredibly helpful at finding and solving issues. Many thanks — I will definitely work with him again.
Hassan was great — he found a number of vulnerabilities we had not expected to find.
Great to work with and gets the job done.

Common Questions
The questions almost every team asks us before we start.
VAPT is just a fancy name for "we try to break your app, find the holes, and tell you how to fix them — before a real attacker does it for free". If your product handles customer data, accepts payments, or runs a login flow, you need one at least once a year. Most overseas clients now require it before signing.
Yes — we've worked with clients in over 10 countries. Most of the work happens remotely. We sign an NDA on request, send you a signed authorization letter before starting, and deliver the full report by the date we agreed on.
Hassan is ISO/IEC 27001 certified (the international standard for information security) and an AppSec Practitioner. He ranks in the global top tier on the major bug bounty platforms — Bugcrowd #465 with 89.3% accuracy, YesWeHack #406, Bug Bounty Switzerland #33, HackenProof #308 — with hall-of-fame entries from Samsung, Binance, cPanel, F5 and 90+ other companies.
Depends on what we're testing. A focused web app: 3–5 working days. A mobile app or API: 4–7 days. A full cloud or network setup: 1–2 weeks. We agree the exact dates on the scoping call before any contract is signed.
A short executive summary your management (or your client) can read in five minutes. A full technical report your developers can follow: each bug rated by severity, with screenshots, the exact steps to reproduce it, and how to fix it. After you patch, we test again — included in the price.
Yes. We sign an NDA before any work starts. We only touch what you've signed off on. Once the project is closed, we delete any data we collected — we keep the report, you keep your privacy.

Your US Client Asked for a "VAPT Report". Here's What They Want.
A US, UK, or EU client just emailed asking for a "VAPT report" before they sign. Here's exactly what they want, what their security team will actually open and read first, and what to send back.

OWASP API Top 10 for Non-Security CTOs
If your product is a React or Vue front end on a REST or GraphQL backend, the API Top 10 maps to your real attack surface better than the web list. Here are the four categories that cause most of the damage, explained for CTOs.

What a SOC 2-Ready Pentest Report Contains
A SOC 2-ready pentest report isn't a Nessus PDF. Here's the actual table of contents we deliver, what each section contains, and why your overseas client's auditor wants every part of it.
