What penetration testing in Dammam and Khobar covers
A vulnerability assessment scans your systems for known weaknesses: missing patches, weak settings, exposed services. A penetration test goes a step further. Our tester tries to use those weaknesses the way a real attacker would, safely and with your written approval, to show what could actually happen. Together this is called VAPT.
We run penetration testing in Dammam, Al Khobar, Dhahran and Jubail, and remotely for clients in Riyadh and other cities. Each test is scoped to your business, so you only pay for what matters. Testing is planned with your IT team to avoid disruption, and production systems are handled carefully.
- External testing: your internet-facing firewall, VPN, email and public IP addresses
- Internal testing: what an attacker or infected laptop inside your office could reach
- Web application testing: company websites, portals and customer apps
- Cloud testing: Microsoft 365, Azure and other cloud configurations
- Wi-Fi and network segmentation checks
Why VAPT services in Khobar matter for CCC and NCA
Big buyers in the Eastern Province now ask suppliers to prove their security, not just describe it. Aramco requires every third party doing business with Aramco Group companies to hold a Cybersecurity Compliance Certificate (CCC), now governed by the SACS-210 Third Party Cybersecurity Standard. The certificate is valid for 2 years.
The NCA's control sets for government, critical infrastructure and private companies also expect you to know and manage your vulnerabilities. A recent VAPT report and a fix plan that shows what you closed are useful evidence for an Aramco CCC review and for NCA control assessments. They also give your management a clear, honest picture of risk.
Aramco CCC is valid for 2 years and now follows the SACS-210 standard.
How Waves runs a penetration test
Scope and approval
We agree which systems, IP ranges and apps are in scope, the test window, and sign a written authorisation.
Scan and map
We discover live hosts, services and applications, and run vulnerability scans to find known weaknesses.
Controlled exploitation
Our tester safely tries to exploit key findings to confirm real risk and remove false positives.
Report and fix plan
You receive an executive summary and a technical report, with each finding rated by risk and a clear fix for each.
Remediation support
Our engineers can apply the fixes for you, from firewall rules to patching and configuration changes.
Retest
We retest the fixed findings and update the report so you have proof that the gaps are closed.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a vulnerability assessment and a penetration test?
A vulnerability assessment is a broad scan that lists known weaknesses. A penetration test takes the important findings and tries to exploit them, to show real impact. Most companies need both, which is why we deliver them together as VAPT.
Is a penetration test required for Aramco CCC?
The CCC checks your controls against Aramco's SACS-210 standard, reviewed by an Authorized Audit Firm. A recent VAPT report with a fix plan is strong evidence that you identify and manage vulnerabilities. We will tell you which controls in your CCC class the report supports.
Will testing disrupt our systems?
We plan the test window with your IT team and avoid risky actions on production systems unless you approve them. Most tests run without any downtime. We stop and call you right away if we find something critical.
How long does a VAPT take?
It depends on scope. A small office network with one website can be tested and reported within a couple of weeks, while larger environments take longer. We give you a timeline before we start.
How often should we test?
At least once a year, and after major changes such as a new firewall, a new website or a move to the cloud. Testing before a CCC renewal is also a good habit.
Can you fix the issues you find?
Yes. Unlike a test-only firm, our engineers can apply the fixes, including firewall changes, patching, MFA and hardening. We then retest to confirm the gaps are closed.
