Penetration Testing

Web application penetration tests with clear, fixable findings.

OWASP-aligned testing by working security engineers. We confirm exploitability before reporting, rate severity based on business impact in your environment, and write reports for the engineers responsible for remediation.

What this covers

Application security validation for the paths that matter.

This service is for teams that need to understand how their web application holds up under focused security review: whether users can access data they should not, bypass authorization, misuse workflows, or expose sensitive information through the application or its integrations.

We start by defining application boundaries, environments, roles, access model, and test approach. Then our engineers test the application under test and confirm findings so the report reflects issues your team can reproduce and fix.

The result is a practical report: reproduction steps, severity ratings based on exploitability and business impact, and remediation guidance written for the engineers responsible for the application.

How we test

OWASP-aligned testing with engineer validation.

Our web application testing follows the OWASP Web Security Testing Guide. We focus on the areas that commonly create material risk for web applications: authentication, authorization, session handling, access control, injection and input handling, business logic, sensitive-data exposure, and integration points.

We test from the perspectives defined during Discovery, including authenticated user roles when applicable. We structure the test around the application's real access model, workflows, and data paths so findings reflect how the system can actually be misused.

Every reported finding is reproduced, tied to business impact, and written with the context your engineering team needs to prioritize and remediate it. Severity reflects exploitability in your environment, not just a generic category or tool score.

Three ways to engage

Choose the engagement type that fits the work.

One-off pentest

A single engagement for one application or defined application set. Includes the 90-day retest.

Y1Y2Y3

Best for

SOC 2 evidence, customer security reviews, pre-launch validation, or a specific application change.

Annual pentest program

A recurring annual engagement with planning, testing, reporting, and retest built into the yearly cycle.

Y1Y2Y3

Best for

Teams that need predictable annual testing for compliance, customer assurance, or security governance.

Continuous pentesting

Recurring testing aligned to your release rhythm, with retests handled within the agreed testing cadence.

Y1Y2Y3

Best for

SaaS teams shipping frequently who need application security testing to keep pace with engineering.

What we deliver

What your team receives.

  • Discovery call to define application boundaries, environments, roles, and test approach.
  • Web application penetration testing aligned to the OWASP Web Security Testing Guide.
  • Validated findings only; scanner output is not reported without engineer review.
  • Detailed report with reproduction steps, severity ratings, business impact, and remediation guidance.
  • Findings review call with your team to walk through risk, priority, and next steps.
  • Retest of remediated findings within 90 days of the original report delivery, at no additional charge.
Frequently asked

Common questions about
Penetration Testing.

What gets tested in a typical web application engagement?
Authentication and session handling, authorization and access control, input handling, business logic, sensitive-data exposure, and the application's integration points. The work is defined during a Discovery call; we'll confirm the application boundaries, features to test, environments, and the test approach before the engagement begins.
What methodology do you use?
Our web application testing follows the OWASP Web Security Testing Guide. We test against the defined roles, workflows, and data paths that matter for the application, using tooling where it supports coverage or validation. Findings are reported only after engineer review and confirmation in your environment.
What does validation actually mean?
Every reported finding is reproduced and checked against your environment. We don't carry forward automated scanner output without confirming exploitability and impact. The result is a report focused on validated issues your team can act on.
How does the 90-day retest work?
After your engineering team remediates findings, we retest them within 90 days of the original report delivery at no additional charge. Each remediated finding gets reproduced against the fix and marked resolved, partially resolved, or unresolved in a retest report. The retest is part of the original engagement; no separate planning step is needed for remediated findings.
How long does an engagement take?
Timeline depends on application size, authentication complexity, environment access, reporting needs, and retest timing. We confirm the schedule during Discovery so the test window matches the work required.
What's not included in a standard web application pentest?
Source code review, network or infrastructure penetration tests, and mobile application penetration tests are not part of the standard web application engagement. Network and infrastructure testing are available on request. Mobile application pentesting is not currently offered. Remediation of findings stays with your team unless included as separate project work.
Often paired with

Services that work together.

Governance, Risk & Compliance

Compliance program management through Drata, managed by Security Overview. We map SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, CCPA/CPRA, GDPR, and related requirements to controls, evidence, owners, and audit support.

Managed Detection & Response

24/7 detection and response across endpoints, email, cloud systems, collaboration tools, and SaaS apps. The same engineers who investigate alerts also improve detections and coordinate response.
