Web application penetration testing

We begin with a scoping call to understand your application, its functionality, and the objectives of the assessment. 

A Statement of Work (SOW), Master Service Agreement (MSA), and formal Rules of Engagement (ROE) document are then established, outlining:

• In-scope applications, domains, and functionality

• Testing environments and access provided

• Approved testing activities and exclusions

• Testing windows

• Deliverables

• Legal authorization to perform testing

All testing is performed strictly within the approved scope.

We begin by analyzing the web application to understand its functionality, architecture, authentication mechanisms, and attack surface. Testing may include:

• Application functionality, workflows, and attack surface

• Authentication and session management

• Authorization and access control

• Input validation and injection vulnerabilities

• Client-side security and browser-based vulnerabilities

Identified weaknesses are manually tested and validated to determine their exploitability and potential impact. Testing may include:

• SQL injection and other injection vulnerabilities

• Cross-site scripting (XSS)

• Broken access control and privilege escalation

• Insecure direct object references (IDOR)

• Authentication and session management weaknesses

• File upload, file inclusion, and path traversal vulnerabilities

• Server-side request forgery (SSRF) and other server-side vulnerabilities

• Security misconfigurations and exposed sensitive information

• Business logic vulnerabilities and abuse of application functionality

• Rate limiting, brute-force protection, and abuse controls

We keep you informed throughout the engagement, including a pre-test notification, real-time escalation of any critical findings, and confirmation once testing concludes. 

Once testing is complete, we provide a detailed report which includes:

• An executive summary for business and non-technical stakeholders

• A technical breakdown of each identified finding

• Severity ratings based on exploitability and potential business impact

• Evidence demonstrating the impact of identified vulnerabilities

• Remediation guidance

• Retesting upon request to verify remediation of identified vulnerabilities
  
  

The final report is securely delivered, followed by a debrief where we walk you through the findings, discuss their potential impact and remediation, and answer any questions.
