The process of testing your IT security internally, internal Vulnerability assessment evaluates IT security from inside the company (Internal software, network, employee competence, work environment & internal policy in terms of IT security, etc.)
External Vulnerability assessment evaluates IT security outside the company, mainly finding the loopholes in your network firewall, where the malicious outsiders can break in and attack your network and other related business confidential information.
Both are done by the third party its always suggested companies to get done with third-party experts while doing technical audits. It is always suggested to get VAPT done externally regularly, internal VAPT assessment can be done for more accurate manual results, which includes identifying human errors and work etiquette. These professionals are well knowledgeable with the right tools to handle depending on the scope of work and your business scope. Its always advised to re-visit these loopholes once closed, professionals always suggest the industry best practices close these loopholes and re-asses for the better results.

VAPT could be proof of evidence for many technical controls, as in ISO 27001:2013 information security management system (ISMS) statement of applicability (SOA) defines the controls under which A 12.6 speaks particularly about the vulnerability management, under the control A 12.6.1 defines the integrity, security, availability and the vulnerability associated with the internal and external threats. Testing is mandatory to identify the internal and external risks associated with it and appropriate measures to be taken. A 12.6.2 defines the controls on software, it is to be verified before opting for any useful work.
We can relate VAPT with many controls is ISO 27001, like A 13.1 Network security, A 14.2.3 Technical review of applications after operating platform changes, A14.2.9 System acceptance testing, etc.
A single report of VAPT can be proof of many technical controls of the organization, not just for ISO 27001 also with SOC, PCI-DSS, HITRUST, GDPR, HIPAA, etc.
