Web Application Penetration Test

IT Governance’s Web application penetration testing is built upon an established bespoke methodology based primarily upon the OWASP Top 10 Application Security Risks 2017. This approach will emulate the techniques of an attacker, using many of the same readily available tools. This enables a full assessment of the key components of the web applications and supporting infrastructure.

Once identified, the vulnerabilities are presented in a format that allows an organisation to assess their relative business risk and the cost of remediation.

Your challenge

The security of web applications is of paramount importance to business continuity and integrity. While traditional firewalls and other security controls are an important security layer, they can’t defend or alert you to many of the attack vectors specific to web applications.

Our service offering

• Careful scoping of the application to establish the exact extent of the testing exercise. 
• A range of manual tests closely aligned with the OWASP methodology. 
• A series of automated vulnerability scans. 
• Immediate notification of any critical vulnerabilities to help you take action quickly. 
• A detailed report that identifies and explains the vulnerabilities (ranked in order of significance). 
• A list of recommended countermeasures to address any identified vulnerabilities. 
• An executive summary that explains what the risks mean in business terms. 

Benefits

Our penetration tests will help you to:

• Gain real-world insight into your vulnerabilities;
  
• Keep untrusted data separate from commands and queries;
  
• Develop strong authentication and session management controls;
  
• Improve access control;
  
• Discover the most vulnerable route through which an attack can be made; and
  
• Find any loopholes which could lead to the theft of sensitive data.
