WEB APPLICATION PENETRATION TESTING
Break your web app before an attacker does.
We test authentication, access control and business logic by hand, the way an attacker would chain them. Then we show you how to close each one.
Web apps are the #1 entry point in the breaches we’re called into.
COVERAGE
What a web application pentest covers
Every item below is tested by hand, not just scanned. Nothing here is a checkbox exercise.
- Broken access control (IDOR, privilege escalation)
- Authentication & session management
- Injection (SQLi, command, template)
- Server-side request forgery (SSRF)
- Business-logic abuse
- Cryptographic failures
- Security misconfiguration
- Stored, reflected & DOM XSS
- File upload & insecure deserialization
- API endpoints behind the app
WHY IT MATTERS
What this stops before it happens.
These are the outcomes we are actually testing for. Not theory, these are the paths we take on real engagements.
Account takeover
Broken access control lets one user read or control another’s account and data.
Payment & checkout abuse
Business-logic flaws in flows attackers exploit for fraud or free goods.
Privilege escalation to admin
A standard user finds a path to administrative control of the app.
Data exfiltration
Injection flaws expose the database behind the application.
THE DELIVERABLE
A report you can act on, not a wall of scanner output.
- Executive summary for leadership
- Every finding with CVSS 3.1, proof and business impact
- Step-by-step remediation per issue
- Prioritised remediation roadmap
- Free retest of every fixed finding
IDOR → account takeover
Any authenticated user could read and modify other customers’ accounts.
HOW IT RUNS
Six phases, no surprises.
- 01ScopeTargets, access and rules of engagement, agreed in writing.

- 03ExploitManual, hands-on testing. Flaws chained, impact proven.
- 04ReportCVSS, proof, business impact and a concrete fix per finding.
- 05RemediateWe support your engineers through every fix.
- 06RetestEvery fixed finding re-tested, at no extra cost.
FAQ
Questions we get about web application pentest
How long does a web app engagement take?
Typically one to three weeks, driven by the size of the application and number of roles. We’ll give you a firm timeline after scoping.
Will testing disrupt our production systems?
We prefer to test against a staging mirror. When testing in production, we work within agreed rules of engagement and avoid destructive actions.
What do we need to provide to get started?
Test accounts across each user role, the application URL(s), and a signed scope and rules of engagement. Documentation helps but isn’t required.
What standards do you follow?
The OWASP Web Security Testing Guide and OWASP Top 10, within a PTES-aligned process. Every finding maps to a recognized category.
What happens after the report?
We support your team through remediation and re-test every fixed finding at no extra cost, so you can prove the risk is closed.
