Web application security testing
Web Application Security Testing
Test your web application the way a real attacker would. We combine manual testing with tooling to examine your application, its APIs, and the logic that controls who can do what. All web application testing is performed by consultants who hold both GWAPT and OSWE.
Why it is manual first
Scanners find known patterns. They miss the flaws that matter most in modern applications: broken access control, logic abuse, and chained issues.
Our testers work through the application by hand, using tooling to widen coverage and confirm findings rather than to replace judgment.
That approach surfaces the issues automated tools tend to skip, and it lets us explain the real path an attacker would take.
What we test
- Authentication and session handling.
- Authorization and access control between roles and tenants.
- Input handling, including injection and unsafe rendering.
- Business logic that can be abused to reach unintended outcomes.
- APIs the application depends on, including undocumented endpoints.
- Sensitive data handling and exposure.
- Configuration and common framework weaknesses.
Our process
- 1
Scope
We agree on the applications, roles, environments, and test windows before any testing begins.
- 2
Access and setup
You provide test accounts and any documentation. We confirm we can reach the systems in scope.
- 3
Testing
We test manually, supported by tooling, and confirm each issue before we report it.
- 4
Reporting
You receive findings with steps to reproduce, business impact, severity, and remediation guidance.
- 5
Readout and retest
We walk through the findings with your team and answer questions. Retest terms are set in the statement of work.
What a good report includes
A report is only useful if your team can act on it.
- Each finding with clear, repeatable steps to reproduce.
- Business impact in language your stakeholders understand.
- Severity rated with a documented, consistent method.
- Remediation guidance written for the engineers who will fix it.
- An executive summary that reflects the actual findings.
Scoping checklist
These questions help us define coverage so both sides know exactly what is included. This is about clarity, not a checklist for choosing a vendor.
- Which applications and domains are in scope.
- Which user roles and permission levels to test.
- Which APIs the application uses (generally included when the web app depends on them). Mobile apps are scoped separately.
- What is explicitly out of scope.
- Test windows and any rate or availability constraints.
- Who to contact if we confirm a critical-severity issue mid-engagement.
A penetration test can support your broader compliance program by providing independent evidence of testing. It is one input among many; it does not by itself make an organization compliant or certified.
