VAPT a compliance requirement under several Indian sectoral regulators (RBI, SEBI, IRDAI, MeitY).

Even if your business is not under these regulators, VAPT is the accepted way to demonstrate compliance with the IT Act and CERT-In cybersecurity directions. VAPT comes under a best practice.

All cybersecurity regulations — including CERT-In directions, RBI/SEBI/IRDAI circulars, and ISO 27001 — require organizations to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities. Conducting periodic VAPT is the recognized, auditable method to prove compliance and reduce risk.
