Web Application Testing You Can Trust

Web Application Penetration Testing

Web applications keep your business moving, so any weakness puts your revenue and reputation at risk. Our testing gives you clarity and control by showing you exactly where attackers could break in and how to close the gaps quickly.

We assess your application the same way a real attacker would, revealing weaknesses in logic, access control, data handling, and session security before they become costly incidents. Expert manual testing is paired with smart automated scanning to expose issues that routine checks miss.

Every result is verified, prioritised, and explained in plain language, so you know what matters and what to fix first. The outcome is simple, stronger security, protected data, and a more resilient service your customers can trust.

Web Application Penetration Testing FAQs

What is Web Application Penetration Testing?

It is a controlled assessment that simulates real-world attacks on your web application to uncover vulnerabilities in configuration, code, and logic.

The testing searches for security weaknesses so they can be fixed before they pose a risk.

Why is Web Application Penetration Testing important?

Web applications often handle personal or sensitive data. Attackers target them because they are accessible from anywhere.

Penetration testing reduces the risk of data breaches, service disruption, and reputational harm by finding weaknesses before they are exploited.

Who benefits from Web Application Penetration Testing?

Any company that relies on web-based systems can benefit. Whether you are a start-up developing a new product or an established enterprise running customer portals, secure web applications are essential to maintaining trust and compliance.

When should Web Application Penetration Testing be performed?

Testing should take place before launching new applications or major updates.

It is also good practice to perform regular testing, for example annually, and after significant changes to the application or its environment.

How is Web Application Penetration Testing conducted?

We follow a structured methodology that includes intelligence gathering, active testing, vulnerability analysis, and controlled exploitation where authorised.

All testing is performed safely, within agreed rules of engagement, to ensure business continuity.

What types of web applications can be penetration tested?

We can test applications based on their architecture or build, including static websites, dynamic websites, single page applications (SPAs), template-driven or framework-based applications using technologies such as React, Angular, or Vue.js, and other modern web architectures.

We can also assess a wide range of web-based systems based on their purpose or use, including e-commerce platforms, SaaS applications, content management systems, customer portals, internal dashboards, and workflow or business tools.

What support do I get during the Web Application Penetration Test?

You will have direct and dedicated access to our consultants throughout the engagement.

We provide daily progress calls, immediate alerts for any findings above an agreed CVSS severity level, and ongoing communication to minimise disruption to your business operations.

Our team conducts all work with professionalism and discretion, and we are available to answer any questions you may have during (and after) the test.

What do I receive after the Web Application Penetration Test?

You will receive a comprehensive, prioritised report detailing all identified vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and security risks. Each finding is accompanied by practical remediation guidance to help your technical teams implement fixes effectively.

The report is concise and bloat-free, focusing on the essentials to provide clear, actionable insight for both technical staff and management. To aid understanding, where practical, we supplement the report with video demonstrations of exploits, showing your team exactly how vulnerabilities were identified and exploited.

If required, a debrief session is included to review the results and discuss next steps.

Is Web Application Penetration Testing cost-effective?

Yes.

Identifying vulnerabilities early reduces the cost of remediation and helps prevent far more serious incidents later, such as a GDPR breach, unauthorised access to internal systems, system outages, or loss of data.

Regular testing also supports security best practices and provides evidence of due diligence to stakeholders, helping your company manage risk effectively.
