Web Application Penetration Testing

We test your web application the way a real attacker would, by hand, and find the flaws automated scanners miss.

§ 01Overview
Web Application Penetration Testing
A scanner finds known patterns. Our engineers find the broken access control and business-logic flaws that scanners cannot reason about, and that cause most real breaches. Testing follows the OWASP Web Security Testing Guide and ends with reproducible findings, clear fixes, and a retest.
§ 02What we test
The surface we cover
01
Access control
Whether a user can reach data or actions that are not theirs, the single most common serious flaw.
02
Authentication and sessions
Login, password handling, and session management, including account takeover paths.
03
Injection
SQL, command, and other injection where untrusted input changes a query or command.
04
Business logic
Whether the application's own workflows can be abused in ways automation never detects.
05
Configuration and exposure
Misconfiguration, exposed data, and vulnerable or outdated components.
§ 03How we approach it
A clear methodology, every time.
1
Scope and rules
Targets, accounts, and rules of engagement agreed in writing before testing.
2
Map and test
We map the application and test it by hand against the OWASP methodology, combined with tooling.
3
Prove impact
Confirmed findings are demonstrated safely, so impact is real, not theoretical.
4
Report and retest
A report with reproducible findings and fixes, plus a retest of the remediation.
§ 04What you get
Results you can act on.
Every engagement ends with documented findings and evidence, written for the technical team and for the board.

FAQ
Questions, answered
Is a scan the same as a penetration test?
No. A scan finds known patterns automatically. A penetration test adds a senior engineer who finds access-control and business-logic flaws that scanners cannot detect, and chains weaknesses into a real attack path.
Will testing affect production?
We adapt scope to your risk tolerance, can test in stages or out of hours, and agree anything that could affect availability in advance.
Do you retest the fixes?
Yes. A retest within 90 days is included and confirms the findings are actually remediated.
