Web Application Penetration Testing Services
Your web application is the public-facing core of your business. It handles customer data, processes transactions, and manages your operations. It's also a constant, complex, and high-value target for attackers.
Relying on automated-only "vulnerability scans" is no longer enough. These tools are noisy, produce high rates of false positives, and are completely blind to the most critical threats: complex business logic flaws and chained exploits.
Our Web Application Penetration Testing service provides the expert, manual, and creative assessment needed to secure your modern applications. We don't just run a scanner; we emulate a real-world, persistent attacker to find the vulnerabilities that put your business and your reputation at risk.

Beyond the Scanner: Why Manual Expertise Matters
Automated tools are a good starting point, but they can't understand context. Our expert testers can. We focus on the high-risk areas that automated solutions are physically incapable of finding.
We excel at identifying:
Complex Business Logic Flaws: Can a user change the price of an item in their cart by manipulating a request? Can they bypass a multi-step checkout process? Can they access another user's data by guessing an ID number?
Broken Access Control: We test every function to ensure a standard user cannot access administrative endpoints, and one customer cannot view or modify another customer's data.
Chained Exploits: We combine multiple "low-risk" vulnerabilities—like an information leak and an insecure file upload—to create a "critical-risk" exploit chain that leads to a full system compromise.
In-Depth API Testing: Modern apps are built on APIs. We perform a deep-dive assessment of your backend APIs to find flaws in authentication, data exposure, and session management.
Our Web Application Testing Methodology
Our methodology is a transparent, multi-phased process designed to provide maximum coverage. It's built on global standards like the OWASP Top 10, the OWASP ASVS, and NIST guidelines.
Phase 1: Discovery & Reconnaissance
Before we attack, we map the entire application. We use a combination of automated and manual techniques to discover every page, function, API endpoint, and parameter. This "attack surface mapping" ensures no part of your application is overlooked.
Phase 2: Manual Vulnerability Testing
This is the core of our service. Our expert testers manually probe the application for a wide range of vulnerabilities, including (but not limited to):
Injection: SQL, NoSQL, OS Command, and Server-Side Template Injection.
Cross-Site Scripting (XSS): Stored, Reflected, and DOM-based.
Authentication & Session Management: We test for weak password policies, session fixation, and insecure "remember me" functions.
Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF): We test if an attacker can force your server to make requests to internal services.
Security Misconfigurations: We examine everything from insecure HTTP headers to default credentials and exposed configuration files.
Phase 3: Safe Exploitation & Impact Analysis
We don't just find vulnerabilities; we safely exploit them. This crucial step demonstrates the real-world business impact of a flaw. We show you exactly what data an attacker could steal, what actions they could perform, and how it would affect your operations.
Your Deliverable: A Clear Plan, Not a 100-Page Problem
At the end of our assessment, you receive a comprehensive, actionable report—not a computer-generated data dump. We deliver our findings through a secure dashboard, including two distinct reports:
1. The Executive Report
A clear, non-technical summary for leadership.
Executive Summary: A plain-English overview of the engagement.
Security Posture: Your overall risk score and security posture.
Business Risk: The high-level risks to your brand, finances, and operations.
Strategic Recommendations: High-level guidance for improving your security maturity.
2. The Technical Report
A detailed, step-by-step guide for your development and IT teams.
All Vulnerabilities: A full list of findings, ranked by severity (Critical, High, Medium, Low).
Reproduction Steps: Clear, step-by-step instructions (with screenshots and videos) so your team can replicate our findings.
Impact Analysis: A technical explanation of why this flaw matters.
Detailed Remediation Guidance: Practical, specific advice and code examples to help your team fix each issue quickly and correctly.
Secure Your Most Critical Digital Asset
Don't wait for a data breach to expose your vulnerabilities. Our expert Australian team provides the in-depth, manual penetration testing you need to secure your application, protect your data, and safeguard your reputation.

This is our comprehensive "black-box" assessment, designed for the majority of business-critical web applications.
This package is ideal for testing applications with multiple user roles (e.g., users, managers, administrators) and complex business logic. We simulate the actions of a real-world attacker to identify vulnerabilities that could compromise your application and its data.
Who is this for? Businesses needing to satisfy regulatory obligations (PCI DSS, ISO 27001), meet tender or customer security requirements, and proactively secure their primary web platforms.
Methodology: A thorough, manual penetration test based on OWASP and NIST standards, conducted by a senior certified penetration tester.
Deliverable: A comprehensive penetration testing report detailing all findings with a clear remediation plan, and a formal Certificate of Penetration Testing to share with your clients and stakeholders.
