Web Application Penetration Testing
A web application penetration test goes beyond automated scanning to manually identify vulnerabilities in your web applications, portals, and APIs. Automated scanners catch the obvious issues. Manual testing finds the business logic flaws, authentication bypasses, and chained vulnerabilities that scanners miss entirely.
What Gets Tested
Authentication and session management, authorization controls, input validation (SQL injection, cross-site scripting, command injection), API security, file upload handling, business logic flaws, and data exposure. Testing follows the OWASP Testing Guide methodology and covers the OWASP Top 10 as a baseline.
How It Works
The tester works through your application as both an unauthenticated outsider and an authenticated user (if credentials are provided) to identify vulnerabilities at every access level. Each discovered issue is manually verified and exploited to confirm real-world impact. Testing is performed remotely against your production or staging environment, depending on your preference.
What You Receive
A detailed report with each vulnerability documented including the affected endpoint, request/response evidence, severity rating, and step-by-step remediation guidance your developers can act on directly. Findings are rated using CVSS scoring so your team can prioritize fixes by actual risk.
Who Needs This
Any business that operates a customer-facing web application, client portal, e-commerce platform, or API. If your application handles user data, processes payments, or controls access to sensitive information, it needs manual security testing beyond what a scanner provides.
