What is VAPT?
Why Melbourne Businesses Commission VAPT in 2026
VAPT stands for Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing. A vulnerability assessment scans your systems for known weaknesses; a penetration test goes further, actively attempting to exploit them the way a real attacker would, within an agreed scope.
Most businesses commission VAPT for one of three reasons: a cyber insurance policy requires it, a client or tender process asks for evidence of testing, or leadership genuinely wants to know where the real risk sits before it’s exploited. Byteway delivers the testing and, more importantly, a report that’s actually usable, findings ranked by real risk, with clear remediation steps your IT team or Byteway can action.

Frequently Asked Questions About VAPT
What's the difference between a vulnerability assessment and a penetration test?
A vulnerability assessment scans for known weaknesses. A penetration test goes further, actively attempting to exploit those weaknesses within an authorised scope, showing what an attacker could actually achieve.
How much does VAPT cost?
[CONFIRM PRICING] Cost depends on the scope, network size, number of applications, and testing depth required. Byteway provides a fixed quote once scope is agreed.
How often should my business run VAPT?
Annually is common practice, and more frequently if your systems change significantly or a client or insurer requires it. Byteway can recommend a schedule based on your risk profile.
Will penetration testing disrupt our business?
Testing is scheduled and scoped to avoid disruption, with safe testing windows agreed in advance. Byteway coordinates timing around your operational needs.
Will I receive a report after the assessment?

Can Byteway help fix the vulnerabilities after testing?
Yes. Beyond identifying security weaknesses, Byteway can assist with remediation, validation testing, and ongoing security improvements to help reduce future risk.
