Reports: technical + board

The vulnerabilities that actually matter — not just what automated tools find.

Automated scanners find misconfigured headers and known CVEs. What they miss: business logic flaws, authentication bypass chains, cloud misconfiguration sequences, and the creative attack combinations that real threat actors use. That's what manual penetration testing finds.

Every Secuara engagement combines manual exploitation with business-logic analysis. We target the vulnerabilities that would actually be used against your organization based on your threat profile — not a generic checklist.

  • Web application penetration testing — OWASP Top 10, business logic, authentication, authorization, API surface
  • API security testing — REST, GraphQL, SOAP; authentication, injection, data exposure
  • Network & infrastructure assessment — Internal and external network penetration testing
  • Cloud security testing — AWS, Azure, GCP configuration review and exploitation scenarios
  • Mobile application security — iOS and Android; static and dynamic analysis
  • Social engineering & phishing simulation — Realistic campaigns, behavioral analysis, click-rate measurement
  • Remediation verification — Re-test of identified findings post-fix, included in all engagements

✦  Typical engagement: 2 to 6 weeks from scoping to final report

Penetration test vulnerability report

Two reports. One for your engineers. One for your board.

Every engagement produces two deliverables:

  • Technical Report: Full vulnerability detail, proof-of-concept evidence, CVSS scoring, reproduction steps, and remediation guidance for each finding
  • Executive Summary: Board-ready PDF summarizing risk exposure, business impact, and a prioritized remediation roadmap in non-technical language

Findings are rated by exploitability, impact, and business context — not just CVSS scores. We include attack narratives that explain how a real attacker would chain vulnerabilities, not just isolated findings.

✦  Compliance Coverage

Penetration testing supports compliance requirements across:

NESA IAS Technical Controls

Security testing and vulnerability management requirements

PCI DSS v4.0 Requirement 11

Annual penetration testing mandatory for all card environments

ISO 27001 Annex A

Technical vulnerability management and testing controls

SOC 2 CC6 & CC7

Logical access and system operations testing

Penetration Testing — Common Questions

How much does penetration testing cost in UAE?

Penetration testing costs in UAE range from AED 15,000 for a focused web application test to AED 150,000+ for comprehensive enterprise VAPT engagements. Typical mid-scope engagements (web app + API + network) run AED 35,000–60,000. Secuara provides fixed-scope, fixed-price engagements — no surprise billing.

What is the difference between penetration testing and VAPT?

VAPT (Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing) combines vulnerability scanning with active exploitation. A vulnerability assessment identifies weaknesses; penetration testing demonstrates their real-world impact through controlled exploitation. Most compliance frameworks require both. Secuara delivers combined VAPT engagements with a single unified report.

How often should UAE companies conduct penetration testing?

Most UAE compliance frameworks recommend annual penetration testing as a minimum. PCI DSS v4.0 requires annual tests and after significant infrastructure changes. NESA IAS technical controls require regular security assessments. For organizations with active development pipelines, quarterly or release-based testing is more appropriate.

Is penetration testing legal in UAE?

Yes — authorized penetration testing of your own systems, or systems for which you have explicit written permission, is legal in the UAE. Secuara operates under a signed Scope of Work and Rules of Engagement for every engagement. Testing without authorization is a violation of UAE Cybercrime Law No. 34 of 2021.
