Web application penetration testing evaluates the security of your websites, APIs, portals, and cloud-based platforms. We mimic how attackers find and exploit flaws in the application’s logic, configuration, or underlying code.
Our testers look for things like injection flaws, broken authentication, insecure session management, and access control issues. We go beyond automated scans—we think like real attackers to identify hidden and high-impact risks.
Modern businesses run on web apps. Whether it’s for ecommerce, patient portals, booking systems, or internal tools, your applications process critical data. That’s exactly why they’re such a common target.
This test helps you:
Identify injection flaws like SQLi and XSS
Validate input sanitization and output encoding
Detect broken access controls and IDORs
Test login and session management security
Check for insecure file uploads or APIs
Uncover logic flaws attackers could exploit
Done regularly, this testing helps you build safer apps, maintain customer trust, and meet compliance expectations.
We start by mapping the entire application. This includes pages, parameters, roles, and all accessible endpoints—both documented and hidden.
Next, we run safe, non-disruptive scans to surface known vulnerabilities. These results help us prioritize our manual testing paths.
We dig deeper with manual testing to find issues scanners miss—like authentication bypasses, privilege escalations, and business logic flaws. If we find vulnerabilities, we safely exploit them to show the impact.
We evaluate how the app handles login attempts, session tokens, and user roles. This helps us uncover risks like account takeovers or privilege abuse.
You receive a detailed report with screenshots, proof-of-concept data, risk ratings, and specific remediation advice. We also walk you through the findings live.
Web application testing simulates attacks on your web-based platforms to identify vulnerabilities in the code, configuration, or logic.
Web apps are public-facing and constantly targeted. Testing helps prevent data breaches, account takeovers, and service disruptions caused by code-level flaws.
Network testing focuses on infrastructure, while web app testing targets your software. It looks at how the app itself handles user input, authentication, and access.
Yes, but safely. We design tests to avoid disruptions, data loss, or system crashes. If preferred, we can also test staging or pre-production environments.
We use tools like Burp Suite Pro, OWASP ZAP, Postman, and custom scripts. Manual testing is key for finding complex flaws scanners miss.
No. Our tests are controlled and scheduled to avoid interfering with normal operations. We coordinate with your team to ensure everything runs smoothly.
You’ll receive a full report with an executive summary, technical details, impact explanations, screenshots, and tailored remediation steps.
At least once per year—or after major code changes, new features, or third-party integrations. More frequent testing may be required for high-risk apps.
Yes. Web app testing supports PCI DSS, HIPAA, GLBA, SOC 2, and other frameworks that demand regular testing of systems handling sensitive data.
Definitely. We offer secure coding guidance, architecture reviews, and developer consultations to help you close vulnerabilities quickly and safely.
Web application testing doesn’t just protect users—it supports compliance. Many frameworks require testing of all applications that store, process, or transmit sensitive data. Our process helps you stay compliant while improving security.
Our testing covers the OWASP Top 10 risks, including injection, broken access control, authentication flaws, and cryptographic failures.
We follow NIST’s guidance for application-layer assessments, using manual and automated techniques to find and fix vulnerabilities.
Financial institutions must secure customer-facing applications. Web app testing proves those platforms are hardened against common threats.
Web applications that handle PHI must be secure. Testing supports HIPAA’s technical safeguards by validating controls for access, input, and storage.
PCI DSS mandates web app testing to protect cardholder data. Our tests meet these requirements and help you stay certified.
Gaming websites and portals must protect patron data. Testing helps meet strict data protection standards set by regulators.
Web testing supports tribal casino platforms and apps, aligning with evolving digital expectations and responsible data management practices.
We simulate real-world cyberattacks against your public-facing systems to uncover vulnerabilities before attackers do. This helps identify exploitable weaknesses in firewalls, VPNs, email servers, and other internet-accessible assets.
This test mimics an attacker who has gained internal access, helping uncover insecure configurations, legacy systems, and lateral movement paths. It reveals how deep an intruder could go inside your network and what data might be compromised.
We assess the security of your Wi-Fi networks, identifying risks such as rogue access points, weak encryption, and insecure configurations. The goal is to prevent unauthorized access and protect sensitive data traveling over your wireless infrastructure.
We perform in-depth testing of your web applications using both automated tools and manual techniques to uncover flaws like injection, authentication bypass, and insecure direct object references. This ensures your apps are secure against OWASP Top 10 threats.
We conduct phishing, pretexting, and baiting campaigns to measure your employees’ resistance to real-world social engineering tactics. This service helps you identify human vulnerabilities and improve security awareness training.
We evaluate your cloud-hosted infrastructure and configurations for misconfigurations, privilege escalation paths, and insecure APIs. This ensures your AWS, Azure, or GCP environments align with cloud security best practices.
e attempt to breach your physical security controls by tailgating, badge cloning, or bypassing locks to test your facility’s resilience against intruders. This reveals gaps in physical access controls, alarm systems, and visitor management.
Our red team mimics real-world adversaries using stealth, persistence, and custom tooling to test your entire security ecosystem across digital, human, and physical layers. This provides a true test of your detection, response, and resilience capabilities.
Apps for booking, loyalty rewards, and player portals are prime targets. Testing protects guest accounts, financial data, and regulatory status.
Web-based patient portals and scheduling platforms handle PHI. Testing keeps these platforms HIPAA compliant and secure.
Online banking, trading, and investment platforms rely on secure web applications. Penetration testing helps avoid fraud and meet GLBA and PCI DSS.
Guest portals, mobile apps, and booking systems must be secure to protect traveler data and brand trust.
Client portals and document-sharing tools need protection. Web app testing reduces the risk of data leaks and unauthorized access.
Web app security is critical for any SaaS business. Testing shows investors and clients that you take product security seriously.
Learning platforms and student portals must protect user data and access. Testing also ensures FERPA and COPPA compliance.
Checkout pages, login systems, and shopping carts are frequent targets. Web app testing helps prevent data theft and fraud—and supports PCI DSS.
Checking for vulnerabilities like SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and command injection by inputting malicious data into forms, URLs, and other input fields.
Evaluating the strength and implementation of authentication mechanisms, including password policies and session management (like cookies and session timeouts).
Assessing role-based access controls (RBAC) to ensure users have appropriate access rights and that privilege escalation is not possible.
Reviewing security configurations of web servers, databases, and application platforms to identify misconfigurations or outdated components.
Checking for unprotected storage and transmission of sensitive data, such as credit card numbers, personal information, and passwords.
