SECURITY REPORT
Service Overview
Web applications are often the most exposed part of your digital infrastructure and a primary target for attackers. Our Web Application Penetration Testing service helps identify vulnerabilities in your web applications before malicious actors can exploit them.
Our security experts use a combination of automated tools and manual testing techniques to thoroughly assess your web applications for vulnerabilities. We focus on the OWASP Top 10 and other common web application security risks, as well as custom security checks tailored to your specific application.
After testing, we provide a comprehensive report detailing all identified vulnerabilities, their potential impact, and clear remediation steps to help your development team address the issues efficiently.

Testing Focus Areas
Our comprehensive web application testing covers these critical security areas.
Injection Vulnerabilities
Testing for SQL, NoSQL, LDAP, OS command, and other injection flaws that allow attackers to send hostile data to interpreters.
Authentication Weaknesses
Evaluating authentication mechanisms for weaknesses that could allow unauthorized access to user accounts or admin functionality.
Sensitive Data Exposure
Checking for improperly protected sensitive data that could be accessed by attackers, including PII, financial, and healthcare data.
XML External Entities
Testing for XXE vulnerabilities that can allow attackers to access internal files, execute remote code, or perform denial of service attacks.
Broken Access Controls
Identifying flaws in authorization mechanisms that could allow users to access resources or functions they shouldn't.
Security Misconfigurations
Checking for missing security hardening, improperly configured permissions, unnecessary features, default accounts, and error handling.
Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
Testing for XSS flaws that allow attackers to inject client-side scripts into web pages viewed by other users.
Insecure Deserialization
Checking for deserialization flaws that can lead to remote code execution, injection attacks, or privilege escalation.
Using Components with Known Vulnerabilities
Identifying the use of outdated libraries, frameworks, and other software components with known security vulnerabilities.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about web application penetration testing.
How long does a typical web application penetration test take?
The duration depends on the complexity and size of the application, but typically ranges from 1-3 weeks for a thorough assessment.
Will penetration testing disrupt our web application's availability?
We take precautions to minimize disruption, but some tests may impact performance. We can schedule testing during off-hours and coordinate with your team to minimize any potential impact.
How frequently should we conduct web application penetration tests?
For most organizations, we recommend annual testing at minimum. However, you should also test after significant application changes, updates, or feature additions.
What information do you need from us before starting a test?
We'll need details about the application architecture, test environment access, user credentials (if applicable), and the scope of testing. We'll provide a checklist during our initial consultation.
What deliverables can we expect after the test is complete?
You'll receive a comprehensive report detailing all identified vulnerabilities, their severity, potential impact, steps to reproduce, and detailed remediation recommendations. We also offer an executive summary for management.
