Process

A clear path from scope to verified fixes.

Our process is collaborative and practical—designed to produce actionable outcomes without unnecessary noise.

How we work

Four stages. One goal: help you reduce risk with confidence.

1

Scope

Align on objectives, systems, and testing scope.

We define goals, in-scope assets, constraints, timelines, and success criteria so testing stays focused and measurable.

2

Assess

Identify and validate security weaknesses.

Our team combines targeted automation with manual testing to uncover and validate issues that matter in real attack scenarios.

3

Report

Review prioritized findings and their impact.

You receive a formal VAPT Report with business impact, evidence, severity, and remediation guidance your teams can act on immediately.

4

Retest

Verify that the fixes resolve the findings.

After remediation, we retest agreed findings and issue a Letter of Attestation (or closure report) confirming what was verified.

Formal outputs

What you receive — and what you don’t

Penetration testing does not issue an official security certification for your app. Instead, Digital Software Labs provides a formal VAPT Report and a Letter of Attestation (or closure report) after testing and retesting your application.

VAPT Report

A formal VAPT Report documenting validated findings, risk ratings, evidence, and remediation guidance for your application or environment.

  • Executive summary and risk overview
  • Prioritized vulnerability findings
  • Evidence and reproduction context
  • Remediation recommendations

Letter of Attestation

A formal letter confirming retesting outcomes and closure status for remediated findings—not an official security certification of your app.

  • Scope and testing summary
  • Retest results for agreed findings
  • Closure status of remediated issues
  • Residual risk notes where applicable

Important clarification

A VAPT Report and Letter of Attestation document testing outcomes and retest closure. They are not an official security certification that your application is free from all vulnerabilities.

What collaboration looks like

You stay informed. We stay focused. Findings stay useful.

Kickoff alignment

Shared objectives, rules of engagement, and success criteria before testing begins.

Live communication

Critical issues can be escalated early so your team can act while testing continues.
