VAPT & Pen Testing in Mauritius
Find the weaknesses in your networks and applications before attackers do. Our VAPT combines automated vulnerability assessment with hands-on penetration testing by experienced testers - and ends with a report your team can act on.

Overview
What is VAPT?
Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) answers a simple question: how would an attacker get in, and how far could they go? A vulnerability assessment scans your systems for known weaknesses. A penetration test (pen test) goes further - our testers safely exploit what they find to prove real-world impact and show which issues matter most.
Whether you call it VAPT, a pen test or a pentest, NSC carries out this testing for banks, insurers, government bodies and private companies in Mauritius. Every engagement is scoped with you, run within agreed rules of engagement, and closed with a debrief so that findings turn into fixes - not just a PDF.
What's included
Our VAPT & Penetration Testing service
External penetration testing
Your internet-facing estate - firewalls, VPNs, mail and web servers, cloud services - tested the way an outside attacker would approach it.
Internal penetration testing
What could a compromised laptop or a malicious insider reach? We test segmentation, Active Directory, privilege escalation and lateral movement.
Web application testing (WAPT)
Your web apps and portals tested against the OWASP Top 10 and business-logic flaws: authentication, session handling, injection, access control and more.
Vulnerability assessment
Broad, authenticated scanning of servers, endpoints and network devices, with false positives removed and risk ratings explained.
Wireless security testing
Rogue access points, weak encryption and guest-network separation checked on site.
Retesting
Once you have fixed the findings, we retest to confirm each issue is closed - the evidence auditors and regulators ask for.

What is the difference between a vulnerability assessment and a penetration test?
A vulnerability assessment identifies known weaknesses, mostly with automated tools. A penetration test has testers exploit those weaknesses, safely, to prove what an attacker could actually achieve. VAPT combines both.
How much does a pen test cost in Mauritius?
The cost of a pen test depends on scope: the number of IP addresses, applications and sites, and whether internal, external or web application testing is needed. We agree a fixed scope and price with you before any testing starts - contact us for a quote.
How often should we run VAPT or a pen test?
At least once a year, and after any significant change such as a new application, network redesign or cloud migration. Regulated organisations and PCI DSS environments often test more frequently.
Will testing disrupt our systems?
Tests are planned with you, run within agreed windows and rules of engagement, and avoid destructive techniques unless you explicitly approve them.
