VAPT & Technical Remediation
Identify Exploitable Weaknesses and Convert Findings into Practical Remediation
Knowledge Kraft supports authorized security testing to identify vulnerabilities across agreed systems, applications and infrastructure.
Our service connects testing with risk evaluation, technical remediation planning and closure verification so that findings do not remain unresolved in a report.

What Is VAPT and Technical Remediation?
Vulnerability Assessment
A vulnerability assessment identifies known or suspected security weaknesses through automated and manual review techniques.
Penetration Testing
Penetration testing uses controlled and authorized techniques to determine whether identified weaknesses can be exploited and what impact may result.
Technical Remediation
Technical remediation addresses confirmed weaknesses through actions such as:
- Secure configuration
- Software updates
- Code correction
- Access-control changes
- Network restrictions
- Service removal
- Security architecture improvement
- Monitoring improvements
- Compensating controls
NIST SP 800-115 provides guidance for planning and conducting technical information-security testing, analysing findings and developing mitigation strategies. Different testing techniques have different purposes, benefits and limitations.
All penetration testing must be conducted with written authorization, an agreed scope, approved testing windows and defined rules of engagement.
Challenges We Help Customers Address
- Vulnerability scans produce excessive unverified findings
- Critical systems are not included in regular testing
- Testing scope is unclear
- Production risks are not considered before testing
- Findings are rated only by automated tool scores
- Business impact is not explained
- Reports provide limited remediation guidance
- Vulnerabilities remain open for long periods
- Technical teams disagree about priorities
- Remediation introduces operational risk
- Temporary fixes are not replaced
- Retesting is not performed
- Repeated vulnerabilities indicate systemic weaknesses
- Customer deadlines create rushed testing
- Testing providers do not explain limitations
What Knowledge Kraft Delivers
The testing scope and execution model are established before any technical activity begins.
- Confirming business and compliance objectives
- Defining in-scope systems and applications
- Confirming ownership and written authorization
- Establishing rules of engagement
- Defining testing windows
- Identifying prohibited activities
- Planning escalation and emergency contacts
- Conducting authorized vulnerability assessment
- Conducting manual validation
- Conducting controlled penetration testing
- Reviewing authentication and access controls
- Reviewing common configuration weaknesses
- Evaluating application-security risks
- Removing false positives where possible
- Rating findings by technical and business risk
- Preparing technical evidence
- Developing remediation recommendations
- Facilitating remediation workshops
- Assigning finding owners

- Preparing closure reports
- Identifying systemic improvement opportunities
Testing depth depends on the agreed environment, authorization, operational risk and available access.
Frequently Asked Questions
Vulnerability assessment identifies weaknesses. Penetration testing attempts controlled exploitation to evaluate practical exposure and impact.
No. Testing must be formally authorized by the system owner and performed within an agreed scope.
Testing is planned to reduce operational risk, but no technical test is completely risk-free. Restrictions and testing windows should be agreed in advance.
No. Testing provides assurance within the agreed scope, methods and period. New vulnerabilities or changes may arise later.
Yes, where authorized and included in the scope.
Findings are prioritized, remediation actions are agreed and retesting may be conducted after fixes are implemented.
Technical remediation support may be provided directly or with the organization’s development and infrastructure teams, depending on the system and scope.
Frequency depends on risk, customer requirements, system changes and applicable obligations.
