Web Security Testing

Web application penetration testing that validates how attackers would actually move through your product

We test authentication flows, authorization boundaries, multi-step workflows, file handling, and application logic so your team gets validated findings with clear remediation guidance.

What teams usually value in this service

Manual exploitation and workflow review
Reporting for engineers and leadership
Retesting support after fixes

What is covered

  • Authentication, session management, and account recovery flows
  • Role-based access control and object-level authorization
  • Business logic abuse across checkout, approvals, billing, and account management
  • File uploads, document processing, and downstream execution risks
  • Tenant isolation, data exposure, and internal feature reachability

Who this service is for

  • SaaS teams launching customer-facing products or major feature releases
  • Startups preparing for enterprise onboarding or customer security review
  • Security and engineering teams that need a real attacker view of business-critical workflows

Common attack paths and issues tested

Broken object-level authorization

We test where user-controlled identifiers let standard accounts access or modify records that should belong to another customer or internal role.

Workflow abuse and state manipulation

We validate how multi-step flows can be replayed, skipped, or reordered to bypass approval logic or charge controls.

Upload and processing chains

File handling paths are tested beyond the first upload request to include storage, preview, transformation, and downstream workers.

What clients receive

  • Executive summary of key exposures and likely business impact
  • Risk-ranked findings with reproduction detail and technical context
  • Practical remediation guidance and retest confirmation
  • Callout material that can support buyer security review and launch decisions

  1. 1Scope the application, target roles, environments, and critical workflows
  2. 2Map routes, trust boundaries, privileged features, and state transitions

Frequently asked questions

Do you test only the public UI?

No. We test the application as a system, including hidden routes, user roles, client-server trust assumptions, APIs, and downstream processing where relevant.

Can this be done against staging?

Yes. Many teams prefer staging for broader test freedom, but we can also scope targeted production validation with guardrails where required.
