Web application testing
Assess authentication, sessions, access control, input handling, server-side flaws and business logic in agreed applications.
PENETRATION TESTING & TECHNICAL VALIDATION
Find the attack paths that matter. Verify that remediation works.
Go beyond automated vulnerability scanning. We help you define a controlled penetration test, coordinate qualified specialists and turn reproducible findings into remediation priorities and retesting.

THE PURPOSE
A penetration test is not just a vulnerability scan.
Automated scanning identifies known patterns. A penetration test adds human analysis of authentication, authorisation, configuration and business logic, within an agreed and authorised scope. It can reveal how weaknesses interact and what a realistic attacker could accomplish.
Penetration testing can support information security risk management, ISO 27001, NIS2 and customer assurance, but it does not replace a full audit or prove compliance on its own.
TESTING OPTIONS
Choose the test that matches your attack surface.
API penetration testing
Examine API authentication, token handling, object and function-level authorisation, data exposure and abuse scenarios.
External infrastructure testing
Assess authorised internet-facing infrastructure, exposed services, configuration weaknesses and plausible attack paths.
Retesting and remediation advice
Validate agreed fixes against previously identified findings and help establish ownership and residual risk.
WEB APPLICATION TESTING
Test access control and business logic, not only known vulnerabilities.
A defined web application test examines how users and attackers could interact with important features and data. Scope can include authenticated user roles, integrations, sensitive transactions and admin functions.
Authentication & sessions
Review login paths, session handling, password reset and relevant identity flows.
Authorisation & business logic
Assess horizontal and vertical privilege boundaries, object access and misuse of critical processes.
Technical exploitation
Validate relevant inputs, application weaknesses and exploitability safely within the agreed rules of engagement.
Examples are illustrative; the authorised test scope, accounts and acceptable techniques are agreed in advance.
API PENETRATION TESTING
Secure the connections where systems and data meet.
APIs can expose valuable information and functions even when a web interface appears secure. We agree which endpoints, roles, environments and test data are in scope before testing.
Authentication & tokens
Validate token handling, credentials, expiry and authorisation mechanisms.
Object & function access
Look for broken access controls and unintended exposure across tenants, users and API roles.
Data exposure & misuse
Examine sensitive responses, rate limiting, abuse cases and relevant input handling.
Integrations & webhooks
Assess trust boundaries, event validation and relevant external connections.
Configuration & documentation
Consider endpoints, environments, permissions and exposed documentation.
Evidence & remediation
Record reproducible findings with business impact, responsible owners and remediation advice.
EXTERNAL INFRASTRUCTURE
See your exposed services through an attacker's eyes.
We assess an expressly approved set of internet-facing assets to identify exploitable weaknesses, configuration issues and plausible attack paths. Broad or intrusive activities require separate authorisation.
Attack-surface discovery
Confirm approved IP addresses, domains, services and exclusions.
Services & configurations
Review exposed services, relevant authentication and configuration weaknesses.
Controlled validation
Test authorised findings with agreed safeguards and clear escalation routes.
The result is a technical report and management summary that distinguish evidence, impact, priorities and residual risk.
SAFETY AND CONTROL
Testing begins with explicit permission and clear boundaries.
Before testing, the parties agree in writing on authorised assets, accounts and access, acceptable techniques, time windows, operational safeguards, escalation procedures, evidence handling and confidentiality. Production-impacting activities require explicit agreement. Testing may involve specialist delivery partners; their role and responsibilities are identified in the proposal.
We do not promise that all vulnerabilities will be found. The report reflects the agreed scope, method and testing period.
APPROACH AND DELIVERABLESScope and authorise Test and validate Report clearly Close the loop
From findings to decisions that lead to remediation.
Agree objectives, systems, testing conditions and contact points.
Conduct agreed manual and tool-assisted tests with operational safeguards.
Explain affected assets, reproducible evidence, business impact, severity and suggested fixes.
Review remediation priorities and, when commissioned, verify completed fixes.
PRICING AND PREPARATION
A clear proposal before the first test.
Pricing depends on the agreed attack surface, number of applications or APIs, testing depth, authentication scenarios, schedule, reporting and any retesting. We agree the project scope and fee in advance. Partner costs, if applicable, are included in the proposal rather than presented as a surprise.
Useful information for an initial discussion includes the type of environment, intended objectives, approximate scope, desired deadline and whether you have approval to commission testing.
FAQ
Questions before commissioning a penetration test
Is a vulnerability scan the same as a penetration test?
No. A scan largely detects known indicators, while a penetration test also involves authorised human validation and analysis of attack paths.
Will testing interrupt our production systems?
Testing can involve operational risk. The test plan establishes permitted activities and safeguards, and potentially disruptive actions require explicit agreement. Zero disruption cannot be guaranteed.
Does a penetration test make us ISO 27001 or NIS2 compliant?
No. It is evidence for a defined technical scope, not a replacement for the organisation's complete security management and legal obligations.
Who carries out the technical tests?
We may work with qualified specialist partners. The responsible delivery parties, authorisation and reporting arrangements are specified in your proposal.
