IPSIP Vietnam provides pentest services to help businesses detect and verify exploitable vulnerabilities in websites, applications, APIs, network systems, and cloud infrastructure.

Instead of relying solely on automated scanning tools, IPSIP’s pentest team combines technical analysis with manual testing to simulate how an attacker could access a system, bypass security controls, or gain unauthorized access to critical data.

After the testing process, businesses receive a report describing vulnerabilities, technical evidence, real-world impact, priority levels, and remediation recommendations. IPSIP also supports discussions with technical teams and performs retesting to confirm that vulnerabilities have been resolved within the agreed scope.

Which businesses are IPSIP pentest services suitable for?

IPSIP pentest services are suitable for businesses that are:

Preparing to launch a new website or application.
Integrating systems with banks, partners, or major customers.
Operating platforms that involve login functions, payments, or personal data.
Migrating systems to the cloud.
Making major changes to source code, APIs, or architecture.
Requiring a security assessment before an audit or partner evaluation.
Seeking to verify the impact of identified vulnerabilities.
Reassessing systems after a cybersecurity incident.

Pentest does not only identify which alerts currently exist in a system. The more important objective is to determine how far an attacker could exploit those weaknesses and which issues the business should address first.

What types of pentest services does IPSIP provide?

Depending on the business’s assets and objectives, the pentest scope can be designed for different groups of systems.

System to be tested	Pentest scope IPSIP can provide
Website and Web Application	Login, authorization, session management, file upload, input data, and business logic
Network Infrastructure	Public IPs, VPNs, servers, network services, Active Directory, and internal segmentation
Social Engineering	Assessment of phishing email awareness and compliance with security procedures

IPSIP states that its testing scope includes web applications, mobile applications, network infrastructure, and social engineering assessments. Its methodology is built on widely used frameworks such as OWASP, PTES, NIST, and OSSTMM.

Businesses that have not yet identified the appropriate type of pentest can refer to the pentest selection matrix or submit a high-level architecture overview so IPSIP can help identify priority assets.

Is hiring a white hat hacker the same as using IPSIP Pentest services?

Many people search for “hire a white hat hacker” when what they actually need is a specialist to assess the security of a website or system.

From a professional perspective, a pentester may also be called an ethical hacker or white hat hacker. The difference lies in how the activity is organized.

When using IPSIP’s pentest services, the testing activity is carried out within a clearly defined framework that includes:

Contracts and confidentiality agreements.
Confirmation of system ownership or authorization to test.
A list of in-scope assets.
Timeframes and technical limitations.
Rules of Engagement.
A process for reporting critical vulnerabilities.
Technical reports and management reports.
Remediation support and retesting.

Businesses are therefore not simply “hiring a hacker to test the system,” but using a managed service that covers everything from scope definition to confirmation of remediation results.

This approach helps minimize unintended impact, control generated data, and clarify the responsibilities of all parties.

IPSIP Pentest implementation process

1. Needs assessment and scope definition

IPSIP works with the business to identify:

The type of system to be tested.
The number of websites, APIs, applications, or IP addresses.
User roles.
Critical functions and data.
Staging or production environments.
Deadlines and reporting requirements.
Retesting and remediation support needs.

A clearly defined scope helps businesses receive a more accurate quotation and avoid overlooking critical assets.

2. Agreement on the approach and Rules of Engagement

Both parties define the testing schedule, permitted techniques, load limitations, points of contact, and emergency suspension conditions.

If the system belongs to a third party or is operated on a cloud platform, testing authorization must also be verified before execution.

3. Automated and manual testing

Tools are used to increase coverage, but results must be verified by specialists.

Manual testing is particularly important for:

Authorization flaws.
Payment logic.
Approval workflows.
Cross-account data access.
API abuse.
Attack chains that combine multiple weaknesses.

4. Real-world impact assessment

Each finding must be evaluated within the context of the system and the business’s operations.

IPSIP does not only determine whether a vulnerability exists, but also analyzes exploitability, affected assets, and remediation priority.

5. Report delivery and presentation

According to information published by IPSIP, customers may receive technical reports for IT teams, management reports for leadership, and a remediation plan prioritized by risk.

A pentest report should include:

Testing scope and methodology.
Executive Summary.
Vulnerability list.
Exploitation evidence.
Technical and business impact.
Reproduction instructions.
Remediation recommendations.
Priority levels.
Retest status.

6. Remediation support and retesting

After receiving the report, the technical team can discuss the root causes and remediation options with IPSIP specialists.

Once the business completes the remediation work, IPSIP performs retesting within the agreed scope to confirm that the vulnerabilities have been resolved.

What does a business receive after an IPSIP pentest project?

The output of a project should not be limited to a list of tool-generated alerts.

Depending on the scope, a business may receive:

An executive summary report for leadership.
A detailed technical report.
A risk-classified vulnerability list.
Evidence demonstrating exploitability.
Analysis of impact on systems and data.
Remediation recommendations.
A results presentation session.
Support for technical team inquiries.
Retest results after remediation.
Confirmation of completion according to the agreement.

This structure helps management understand the level of risk while providing enough information for development, infrastructure, or operations teams to address the issues.

Why should businesses consider IPSIP Vietnam?

Service delivery in Vietnam

Businesses can communicate in Vietnamese, coordinate within the same time zone, and more conveniently manage contracts, NDAs, reports, and testing data.

Diverse assessment scope

IPSIP states that it can perform pentest engagements for web applications, mobile applications, network infrastructure, and social engineering.

This is suitable for businesses with multiple layers of assets rather than those that only need a single website assessment.

Combined vulnerability detection and remediation support

The service does not stop at identifying vulnerabilities. IPSIP describes its deliverables as including reports, root cause analysis, remediation consulting, and retesting.

Reporting for both management and technical teams

Technical teams need evidence and remediation guidance, while leadership needs to understand business impact and prioritization. IPSIP states that it provides two reporting layers for these different audiences.

Experience and operational capabilities

According to information introduced by IPSIP, the company has a foundation of more than 15 years of international experience from France, a team of more than 80 specialists, and operational management systems aligned with ISO 27001:2022 and SOC 2 Type II. Businesses may request IPSIP to provide relevant documentation or evidence during the vendor evaluation process.

Pentest in the legal context of Vietnam

A pentest project may involve access to accounts, tokens, logs, customer information, or other sensitive data. Therefore, contracts and Rules of Engagement should define how data is collected, used, stored, and deleted after testing.

Personal Data Protection Law No. 91/2025/QH15 takes effect on January 1, 2026. Decree No. 13/2023/ND-CP on personal data protection took effect on July 1, 2023.

During the pentest scoping process, businesses should discuss the following with IPSIP:

The types of data that may appear during testing.
Pentester access permissions.
Data downloading or copying.
How data is masked in evidence.
Where reports are stored.
Who is authorized to receive the results.
Data retention and destruction periods.
The retest scope after remediation.

Pentest is a technical measure that supports business risk management. A pentest project itself does not mean that the business has fulfilled all legal compliance or security standard obligations.

How is the cost of IPSIP pentest services determined?

The official cost should be based on the actual scope rather than a single price applied to every website.

Factors that typically affect the quotation include:

The number of websites, APIs, applications, or IP addresses.
The number of user roles.
The complexity of business logic.
The number of environments.
The scope of manual testing.
The required completion time.
Reporting requirements.
The number of retest rounds.
Audit or compliance requirements.

IPSIP’s pricing article provides a reference estimate of approximately VND 30–50 million for small systems, with higher costs for more complex applications, APIs, mobile environments, networks, or cloud infrastructure. IPSIP also notes that this is not an official fixed price list; the quotation must be determined after a scope assessment.

Businesses can review the reference pentest pricing before submitting a request.
