Security & Vulnerability Assessment

We assess web applications and APIs against the OWASP Top 10 and related security standards: authentication, access control, injection, misconfiguration and more. You receive a prioritised report with reproduction details and concrete remediation guidance, not a raw scanner dump.

Scope

What’s included

Assessment coverage

  • OWASP Top 10 web application testing
  • API security testing (authentication, authorisation, input handling)
  • Authentication and session management review
  • Access control and privilege escalation testing
  • Security misconfiguration and information disclosure review
  • Dependency and known-vulnerability scanning

Follow-up

  • Remediation guidance sessions with your developers
  • Retesting of fixed findings with updated report
  • Security recommendations for your development process

Sound familiar?

  • An enterprise prospect or partner is asking for evidence of security testing.

  • You handle sensitive data and have never had an independent security review.

  • Compliance or procurement requires a documented vulnerability assessment.

  • Your team fixes security issues reactively, after incidents, instead of before them.

What you get out of it

Outcomes, not deliverables theatre

  • A clear picture of your real security posture, mapped to OWASP categories.

  • Vulnerabilities ranked by severity and business impact — you know what to fix first.

  • A professional report you can share with customers, partners and auditors.

  • Concrete remediation guidance your developers can implement directly.

Approach

How the engagement runs

  1. 01

    Scoping & rules of engagement

    We agree targets, test environment, accounts, boundaries and timing in writing before any testing begins.

  2. 02

    Assessment

    Systematic OWASP-based testing combining manual techniques with tooling — scanners find the obvious, humans find the exploitable.

  3. 03

    Reporting

    Findings are documented with severity, impact, reproduction steps and remediation guidance, plus an executive summary.

  4. 04

    Remediation & retest

    We walk your developers through the fixes, then retest and issue an updated report you can share externally.

08 /FAQ

Security assessment questions

Is this a penetration test?

It is a structured vulnerability assessment based on OWASP methodology: we identify, verify and document security weaknesses with remediation guidance. If your compliance framework requires a certified penetration test with specific attestation, we will tell you honestly and help you scope it.

Will testing affect our production systems?

We prefer testing against a staging environment. When production testing is unavoidable, scope, timing and safeguards are agreed in writing beforehand, and destructive techniques are excluded.

What do we get at the end?

A full technical report (findings, severity, reproduction, remediation), an executive summary for stakeholders, and — after you fix the findings — a retest with an updated report you can share with customers or auditors.
