Penetration testing

Web Application Penetration Testing

Deep testing of your web applications and portals, the systems that hold customer data and drive revenue. It goes beyond automated scanning to exercise real business logic and access controls.

How it works

Where real web breaches happen

We test the logic and access controls scanners miss, prove each issue by hand, and hand it to your developers ready to fix.

Beyond the Scanner: Business Logic

Automated scanners find known patterns. They miss the flaws that matter most: broken workflows, price manipulation, and logic an attacker can abuse to do things the application never intended.

Our methodology

We manually exercise your application's real business logic and workflows, testing how an attacker could bypass intended steps, manipulate state or abuse features, then confirm each issue with reproducible evidence.

Workflow abuse

Access Control and Authentication

The most damaging web flaws are usually about who can do what: viewing another customer's data, escalating to admin, or bypassing login entirely.

Our methodology

We test authentication, session management and access controls across roles and tenants, covering broken access control, privilege escalation and horizontal data access, the issues that top the OWASP Top 10.

AuthN/AuthZ
Multi-tenant

Injection, SSRF and Common Classes

The classic vulnerability classes still breach real applications when they slip past a checklist.

Our methodology

Testing covers injection, SSRF, insecure deserialisation, authentication and session flaws and misconfiguration, aligned to the OWASP Top 10 and ASVS, with exploitation proven safely rather than assumed.

Reproducible, Developer-Ready Reporting

A web finding is only fixed when the developer can reproduce it, understand it and prove it is closed.

Our methodology

Each finding ships with reproducible steps, evidence, risk rating and clear remediation, written for the engineers who will fix it, followed by a retest to validate.

FAQ

Web Application Penetration Testing FAQs

What is web application penetration testing?

It is deep, largely manual testing of your web applications and portals, the systems that hold customer data and drive revenue. It goes beyond automated scanning to exercise real business logic, access controls and the OWASP Top 10, confirming exploitable issues with evidence.

Do you just run an automated scanner?

No. Scanners are one input, but the value is manual testing: business-logic abuse, chained access-control flaws and authentication bypasses that scanners cannot find. Every reported finding is manually verified and reproducible.

What standards do you align to?

The OWASP Top 10 and the OWASP Application Security Verification Standard (ASVS), covering injection, broken access control, authentication and session flaws, SSRF, insecure deserialisation and business-logic abuse.

Do you test in staging or production?

Either. We commonly test a staging or UAT environment that mirrors production, with test accounts across each role. If production is in scope we agree safe rules of engagement to avoid impact to real data and users.

Do you retest after we fix issues?

Yes. Once you remediate we retest to prove each fix holds and update the report with retest evidence, giving you a clean audit trail.
