Description
Even the most experienced developers make mistakes, and even in mature DevSecOps pipelines vulnerabilities can slip through. Particularly flaws in business logic or access control are difficult to detect using automated tools alone.
A manual penetration test conducted by an independent party provides additional assurance. It validates the results of the development process, reviews the effectiveness of existing security measures, and uncovers potential blind spots.
Our testing methodology is based on the OWASP Web Security Testing Guide (WSTG), enabling us to systematically assess all relevant vulnerability categories from authentication to access control. We combine automated testing procedures with targeted manual tests to ensure the best possible balance between efficiency and thoroughness.
Depending on the criticality and protection requirements of the application under review, the test scope can also be aligned with the requirements of the OWASP Application Security Verification Standard (ASVS). If desired or due to regulatory requirements, we conduct the assessment in accordance to ASVS Level 1, 2, or 3. This allows the desired security level to be clearly defined and verifiably validated, from fundamental security requirements to highly critical applications with elevated protection needs.
Our project experience ranges from nearly flawless applications to severe vulnerabilities such as complete authentication bypasses or cross-tenant access possibilities.
A structured web application penetration test therefore significantly reduces the risk of a security incident and provides transparency regarding the actual security level of your application.
