Different technologies create different security risks. NuageSEC provides specialized VAPT across major technology environments — including web applications, APIs, mobile, cloud, networks, infrastructure, SaaS and enterprise architectures — aligning testing with your exact systems and security objectives.
Need help scoping the right assessment for your technology stack? Talk to our security engineering team.
The technology being assessed determines the attack surface, trust boundaries, access models and security controls that need to be tested. A web application, an API, a mobile app, a cloud environment and a corporate network each present distinct vulnerabilities and threat paths.
For example, a web application may expose injection, broken access control and business logic flaws. An API introduces object-level authorization (BOLA) and data-exposure risks. A cloud environment risks IAM over-privileging, exposed storage buckets, and container escape. A network presents perimeter exposure, lateral movement, and Active Directory vulnerabilities.
NuageSEC provides specialized VAPT across all primary technology environments, ensuring testing is engineered around the actual systems, protocols, and security objectives within your authorized scope.
Customer-facing, internal and enterprise applications can expose authentication, authorization, business-logic, API and application-security weaknesses.
Explore Web Application VAPTAPIs connect applications, mobile platforms, cloud services and third-party systems. Assessment covers authentication, authorization, data exposure and API-specific risks.
Explore API VAPTAndroid, iOS and hybrid applications introduce client-side, local data storage, cryptography, platform communication and backend-API security considerations.
Explore Mobile Application VAPTAWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, hybrid and multi-cloud environments introduce security considerations around identity, storage, networking, workloads and configurations.
Explore Cloud VAPTExternal and internal networks, VPN infrastructure, Active Directory, wireless environments and network devices create distinct boundaries requiring network-focused testing.
Explore Network VAPTServers, databases, virtual machines, storage systems and identity services support business-critical applications and operations.
Explore Infrastructure VAPTSaaS environments combine applications, APIs, user roles, tenant boundaries and cloud infrastructure, with tenant isolation as a primary security focus.
Explore SaaS VAPTEnterprise environments contain multiple connected technology layers. Assessment combines relevant application, API, network, cloud, mobile and infrastructure testing.
Explore Enterprise VAPTA vulnerability cannot always be understood in isolation from the technology around it. Effective assessments evaluate five essential dimensions:
What systems, frameworks, programming languages, protocols, and third-party libraries are being utilized in the environment?
How are web applications, APIs, cloud resources, identity providers, databases, and network zones interconnected?
Which assets, endpoints, or services are public-facing, partner-accessible, internal-only, or mission-critical?
Which authentication mechanisms, authorization boundaries, cryptographic implementations, and firewalls enforce security?
What needs to be established through testing? Regulatory compliance, pre-release certification, or real-world threat defense?
The result is an assessment scope based on your actual technology environment and threat landscape, rather than a generic vulnerability checklist.

| Your situation | Recommended starting point |
|---|---|
| Web application or customer portal | Web Application VAPT |
| REST, GraphQL, SOAP, or microservice APIs | API VAPT |
| Android, iOS, or hybrid mobile application | Mobile Application VAPT |
| AWS, Azure, GCP, or Kubernetes environment | Cloud VAPT |
| Internal network, external IPs, VPN, or firewalls | Network VAPT |
| Servers, databases, VMs, or storage systems | Infrastructure VAPT |
| Multi-tenant SaaS application or platform | SaaS VAPT |
| Multiple connected environments across the business | Enterprise VAPT |
The correct choice depends on the technology, architecture, exposure and assessment objective. Many organizations combine multiple scopes into a coordinated assessment.
Web Application Assessment — E-Commerce: A published assessment for a consumer platform identified SQL injection, XSS, IDOR, authentication/session weaknesses and security misconfigurations.
Combining manual validation and automated discovery provided actionable root-cause fixes before release.
Explore Starting PointAPI Assessment — Healthcare: A published healthcare assessment identified broken object-level authorization (BOLA), IDOR and sensitive patient data exposure within API infrastructure.
Highlighted how API security boundaries must be tested directly rather than relying solely on web frontend controls.
Explore Starting PointAI / SaaS Platform — LLM Security Assessment: Evaluated an AI-driven SaaS platform's LLM-facing functionality and integration endpoints.
Identified prompt injection vulnerabilities, data leakage vectors, model manipulation risks, and unsecured API endpoints.
Explore Starting PointExternal Network Assessment — SaaS: A published Netherlands SaaS assessment evaluated internet-facing IP addresses and network services.
Identified anonymous FTP, internet-exposed SMB, outdated service versions, and weak perimeter security configurations.

Explore Web Application VAPTTest REST, GraphQL and microservices for authorization flaws and data exposure.
Explore API VAPTAssess Android and iOS apps against client-side and API threats.
Explore Mobile Application VAPTEvaluate internal and external network perimeters, firewalls and Active Directory.
Explore Network VAPTAssess servers, databases, virtual machines, storage and identity systems.
Explore Infrastructure VAPTVAPT by technology means aligning the assessment with the technology environment being tested, such as web applications, APIs, mobile applications, cloud, networks or infrastructure.
Different technologies have different interfaces, trust boundaries, access models and security controls, so the assessment scope should reflect the actual environment.
Yes. A business may need multiple assessments when applications, APIs, cloud, networks and infrastructure form interconnected parts of its attack surface.
A SaaS platform may require application, API, authorization, tenant-isolation and relevant cloud or infrastructure testing depending on its architecture and authorized scope.
