Our Solutions
Web Applicaton Penetration Test
From basic websites to proprietary web-hosted software, our Web Application Penetration Test identifies security vulnerabilities and their root causes, enabling organizations to implement remediation strategies and protect their data.
- Unauthorized access to sensitive data
- Supply chain/API-based testing
- Leaked credentials
- Input validation
Why organizations need a Web Application Penetration Test
-
Protect Sensitive Data
Web Application Penetration Tests are designed to identify vulnerabilities that could bypass authentication and authorization measures, ensuring the protection of sensitive information.
-
Secure The Supply Chain
Vulnerabilities often emerge from interactions between different applications, especially through APIs. These flaws can lead to attacks through compromised data exchanges - a type of vulnerability that has become increasingly prevalent in recent years.
-
Expose Leaked Credentials
Attackers frequently exploit leaked credentials. Web Application Penetration Tests uncover potential vulnerabilities within the application or on the dark web that could that could be susceptible to attacks.
-
Validate Input
Input validation testing finds weak spots within the application where invalid user input can lead to unauthorized access within the application or the underlying infrastructure.
What to expect
Application Workflow
We collaborate with you to understand the the purpose of the application and its workflow to identify vulnerabilities that are more likely to be exploited.
Attack Strategy
We analyze the application's architecture and framework to create targeted attacks. We design multiple attack vectors to ensure thorough security coverage.
Hands-on Testing
We execute the attack plan, focusing on areas that are most likely to be compromised, to identify weaknesses and how they could potentially be exploited.
Reporting and Remediation
We deliver a comprehensive report that details vulnerabilities, the likelihood of exploitation, potential impact, and recommended remediation steps.
Report Review
Our security experts will discuss each finding with you, provide detailed explanations and answer any questions you may have.Validation
After your team implements the recommended fixes, we can retest to ensure that vulnerabilities have been successfully addressed and are no longer exploitable.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a web application penetration test take?
The length of an engagement depends on the application's features, complexity, and how deep you want us to go. On average, a web application penetration test lasts two to five days. We conduct testing for the full agreed-upon period, so a five-day engagement will naturally yield more findings than a two-day penetration test.
Do you do any vulnerability scanning during a web application pentest?
Yes, but it's crucial to distinguish between a web application assessment and a web application pentest. While a vulnerability scan can identify potential issues, a pentest goes further by evaluating the actual risk. We take the time to build proof-of-concepts and provide detailed evidence, to illustrate the potential impact if issues are not addressed.
Do you provide recommendations to fix vulnerabilities?
Yes, we do. With our expertise, we offer both short-term and long-term solutions to address vulnerabilities discovered during testing.
Do you test in production or a staging environment?
We recommend conducting tests in a staging environment to avoid potential disruption in production. However, it's important to note that some external services used by the application, such as email or printing, may not be available in staging. These services are essential for a comprehensive penetration test of the web application.
Do you communicate with us during the test?
Yes. We use an encrypted chat messenger to communicate with you in real-time. Additionally, we offer screen sharing so you can view our testing process as it unfolds.
