Penetration testing & VAPT services

Find the weaknesses in your systems before attackers do. Al Hutaib delivers Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing (VAPT) across your network, web and mobile apps, cloud and wireless — safe, controlled, real-world attack simulations that show you exactly where you're exposed and how to fix it.

See your systems the way an attacker would

Automated scans catch the obvious; a real penetration test finds the chains of weaknesses that lead to a breach. Al Hutaib combines vulnerability assessment (breadth) with hands-on penetration testing (depth) — our specialists safely attempt to exploit your systems in a controlled way, then hand you a prioritised, plain-English report of what we found, how serious it is, and exactly how to remediate. It's how you turn 'we think we're secure' into evidence — for your board, your customers and your auditors.

Types of penetration testing we perform

Comprehensive coverage across your attack surface:

Network penetration testing

Internal and external testing of your servers, firewalls and network devices for exploitable weaknesses.

Web application testing

OWASP-based testing of websites, portals and web apps — injection, access control, authentication and more.

Mobile app testing

Security testing of iOS and Android apps, their APIs and data storage.

Cloud security testing

Assess misconfigurations and weaknesses across your cloud (Microsoft 365, Azure, AWS) environment.

Wireless & social engineering

Wi-Fi security testing and phishing/social-engineering assessments of your people.

API & configuration review

Test APIs and review device/system hardening against best practice.

What you get

A test is only useful if you can act on it:

Prioritised findings

Every issue rated by severity and business risk — so you fix what matters first.

Proof, not guesses

Evidence of what was exploitable, with clear, reproducible detail.

Remediation guidance

Practical, specific fixes your team (or ours) can act on immediately.

Compliance-ready report

Documentation that supports PCI-DSS, ISO 27001 and UAE regulatory requirements.

Free re-test

We verify your fixes worked after remediation.

Executive summary

A board-level view of your risk posture in plain language.

Why Al Hutaib

Real-world, hands-on testing

Beyond automated scanners — our specialists manually probe for the weaknesses that actually lead to breaches.

Safe & controlled

Testing is scoped, authorised and conducted to avoid disruption to your live operations.

Compliance driver

Our reports directly support PCI-DSS, ISO 27001 and UAE regulatory obligations that require regular testing.

End-to-end partner

We don't just find issues — our wider cyber team can remediate, monitor and re-test.

How we work

A clear, controlled engagement from scope to re-test:

Scope & authorise — agree targets, rules of engagement and timing
Reconnaissance — map your attack surface
Assess & exploit — identify and safely exploit vulnerabilities
Report — prioritised findings, evidence and remediation steps
Debrief — walk your team through the results
Re-test — confirm the fixes closed the gaps
How often should we test?

Best practice (and many frameworks) is at least annually and after any major change to your systems — we can set up a recurring testing schedule.

Frequently asked questions

Vulnerability Assessment finds and lists weaknesses across many systems (breadth); Penetration Testing actively exploits them to show real impact (depth). VAPT combines both for a complete picture.

No — testing is carefully scoped, authorised and controlled. We agree rules of engagement and timing up front, and can test in stages or outside business hours to avoid disruption.

Often yes — PCI-DSS, ISO 27001 and several UAE frameworks require regular testing. Our reports are built to support those audits.

Networks (internal & external), web and mobile applications, APIs, cloud environments, wireless, and your people via social-engineering — scoped to your needs.

You receive a prioritised report with evidence and remediation steps; we debrief your team, and re-test after you've fixed the issues to confirm they're closed.

Yes — much of the assessment is delivered remotely, so we support clients across Dubai, the UAE and the wider GCC.
