Cybersecurity — Web Applications

Web Application Security Testing That Goes Beyond The Scanner.

Most confirmed breaches trace back to the application layer. We test your web application the way an attacker would: as an anonymous visitor, as a normal user and as a user trying to reach someone else’s data.

Automated scanners are good at finding missing headers and known-vulnerable libraries. They are poor at the flaws that actually cause incidents: a user ID in a request that can be swapped for someone else’s, a discount rule that can be replayed, a password-reset flow that can be abused. Those need a person who understands what the application is meant to do.

Our web application tests follow the OWASP Testing Guide and are mapped to the OWASP ASVS, with targeted automated scanning added for coverage. We test every user role you have, so privilege boundaries between a customer, a staff member and an administrator are checked rather than assumed.

Because the application is tested together with the API endpoints it consumes, a finding in the front end and its root cause in the back end arrive in the same report.

Coverage

What We Test In A Web Application

Authentication

Login, registration, password reset, multi-factor flows and account recovery, including brute-force and enumeration resistance.

Authorisation

Role boundaries and object-level access: can one customer read or change another customer’s records by editing a request.

Session management

Token generation, expiry, cookie flags, logout behaviour and session fixation.

Input handling

Injection (SQL, command, template), cross-site scripting and unsafe deserialisation across forms, parameters and headers.

Business logic

Pricing, coupons, quotas, workflow ordering and any rule an attacker could bend by replaying or reordering requests.

File handling and data exposure

Upload restrictions, path traversal, verbose errors, exposed backups and sensitive data in responses.

In Detail

Web Application VAPT In Detail

01

Web Application VAPT

Full-stack vulnerability assessment and penetration testing for production web applications.

Purpose

Identify exploitable flaws in authentication, authorisation, business logic and data handling before an attacker does.

Scope

Unauthenticated and authenticated testing across all user roles, API endpoints consumed by the app, session management and file handling.

Methodology

OWASP Testing Guide and OWASP ASVS-aligned manual testing, supplemented by targeted automated scanning for coverage — never automation alone.

Deliverables

Executive summary, CVSS-scored technical findings, proof-of-concept evidence, remediation guidance and one round of retesting.

Business Value

“Prevents breaches that trace back to the application layer — still the single largest source of confirmed incidents.”

Process

How A Web Application Test Runs

  1. 01

    Scoping

    We agree the application, environments, user roles and test accounts, and whether testing happens in production or staging.

  2. 02

    Mapping

    The application is crawled and its functionality, endpoints and trust boundaries are documented before any attack is attempted.

  3. 03

    Testing

    Manual testing per role against OWASP-aligned test cases, supported by scanning for broad coverage.

  4. 04

    Validation

    Each finding is reproduced by hand with a proof of concept so nothing in the report is scanner noise.

  5. 05

    Report and retest

    CVSS-scored findings with fix guidance, a live walkthrough for your developers and one round of retesting.

FAQ

Questions About Web Application Security

Yes. The OWASP Top 10 is the baseline, and testing goes beyond it using the OWASP Testing Guide and ASVS so that logic and authorisation flaws are covered too.

Yes. We agree test windows and rules of engagement first, and avoid destructive test cases in production. Staging testing is available when you want zero production risk.

The application URL, test accounts for each role, and an API specification or Postman collection if you have one. Source access is optional and only needed if you also want a code review.

Web / API VAPT starts at ₹24,999 and depends on application size, number of endpoints, user roles and testing scope. A Business Security Audit is ₹9,999, a Startup Security Audit is ₹4,999 and a Security Health Check is ₹1,499. A written quote follows scoping.
