Web Application Penetration Testing Services

Scoping in one call

We size the test on the application as it really is, not on a page count. The scoping call covers the number of distinct user roles, the count of dynamic pages and API endpoints behind the UI, whether there is a payment or file-upload path, and which environment we test in. From that we fix the number of testing days and the reporting date before any work starts.

• Typical effort: 5 to 8 testing days for a single application with two or three roles; larger multi-tenant platforms are phased by module.
• Access we need: one account per role, a staging or production URL, and any IP allow-listing for our testing egress.
• Rules of engagement: agreed testing window, emergency contact on both sides, and an explicit list of anything out of bounds such as denial-of-service or third-party integrations.

Manual testing on top of tooling, not instead of it

Automated scanning runs on day one to map the surface and catch the noise. The remaining days are hands-on: chaining low-severity issues into real impact, abusing business logic that no scanner understands, and proving each finding with a working request-response pair. Every reported vulnerability has been reproduced by a tester, so the developer fixing it never chases a false positive.

Reporting built for developers and for the board

You receive a one-page executive summary with a risk rating and the three things to fix first, then a technical report where each finding carries the affected endpoint, exact reproduction steps, evidence, CVSS score, and a remediation that names the framework-level fix rather than a generic recommendation. Findings are delivered as they are confirmed, so critical issues reach your team within hours, not at the end of the engagement.

Retest and sign-off

Once your team ships the fixes we retest every critical and high finding at no extra cost within 30 days and issue a clean letter of attestation. If a fix is incomplete you get the exact bypass, not a red mark.

Frameworks the test is mapped to

Every finding is tagged to the control it evidences, so the report drops straight into an audit pack instead of needing a second translation exercise. For web application engagements the mappings we deliver by default are:

• PCI DSS v4.0 Requirement 11.4: external and internal penetration testing on a defined methodology, with retest evidence for exploitable findings.
• ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A 8.8 (management of technical vulnerabilities) and A 8.29 (security testing in development and acceptance).
• SOC 2 Common Criteria CC7.1 and CC4.1: vulnerability identification and independent evaluation of control effectiveness.
• OWASP Web Security Testing Guide, OWASP ASVS, and PTES as the underlying methodology references cited in the report.
• Regulatory expectations for reasonable security safeguards, including data-protection regimes such as the GDPR and India's DPDP Act, where the application handles personal data.

What auditors receive

The report includes a methodology statement, tester attestation, scope and exclusions, a findings register with CVSS v3.1 scores, evidence for each finding, and a signed retest letter once fixes are verified. Customers use the same pack for customer security questionnaires, cyber-insurance renewals, and procurement due diligence.
