Web Application Penetration Test
Trusted Cyber Security Experts
25+ Years Industry Experience
Ethical, Professional & Pragmatic
A website penetration test identifies application-level vulnerabilities in your web application that may be exploited by an Internet-based attacker.
Like most businesses and organisations, your website is perhaps one of your most valuable assets. Being able to provide your customers and users with a safe and secure online experience is more important than ever before to ensure that the reputation of your business is maintained, and you continue to instil confidence in your customers.
Conducting a penetration test of your organisation’s web application allows you to identify any security flaws that are present in the underlying code, which may result in exploitable cyber security vulnerabilities being present.
SecureTeam has extensive experience in application-level penetration testing for a wide range of customers. From charities through to large-scale retail and banking platforms, our CREST accredited pen testing team are adept at identifying the latest web vulnerabilities and security weaknesses in your website or application, so you can apply effective security measures to reduce the likelihood of a security breach.
What types of vulnerabilities can a Web Application Penetration Test identify?
Conducting a targeted penetration test of your web application provides you with an insight into the vulnerabilities that may be discovered and exploited by an Internet-based attacker. Some common vulnerabilities that we regularly find during web application penetration testing include:
- Weak authentication
- Code injection vulnerabilities
- Sensitive information disclosure
- Poor session management
- Vulnerable 3rd party libraries
- Business logic flaws
- Weak passwords permitted
- Weak encryption algorithms
Testing Process & Methodology
Using a combination of automated and manual testing, our penetration testers will conduct a thorough assessment of your web application to uncover vulnerabilities that may be exploitable by both unauthenticated and authenticated users.
The use of automated tools & scripts combined with an in-depth manual testing approach, allows us to efficiently & accurately test your application and maximise the level of web application security testing that can be performed in the time available.
SecureTeam aligns all web application penetration testing to the globally recognised OWASP (Open Web Application Security Project) testing methodology. This ensures that we test for the very latest application-level vulnerabilities through a recognised & rigorous security test methodology.
At a minimum, we will concentrate on the following OWASP Top-10 vulnerabilities that commonly affect web applications:
In addition to the common vulnerabilities listed above, we also conduct testing around the following areas:
Preparing for your Web Penetration Test
In order for us to be able to perform a penetration test of your web application, we will require the following prior to the test commencing:
- A signed & completed Testing Consent Form
- URL(s) of the application(s) to be tested
- Two sets of credentials for each user role to be tested
- If a Web Application Firewall (WAF) resides in front of the application, we will need this to be disabled or SecureTeam’s IP address range to be ‘whitelisted’ for the duration of the testing. This ensures that the WAF does not interfere with the testing and allows us to provide you with an accurate set of results.
Reporting
Our clear & concise penetration test reports enable everyone in your organisation to understand the vulnerabilities that have been identified and the real-world risk that your systems and data are exposed to.
Our reports include:
- A “board-level friendly” Executive Summary
- Comprehensive, evidence-based vulnerability reporting
- Risk-based vulnerability ranking with CVSS Scoring
- Technical references and links for further research by your technical team
Debrief Call
Once you have received our final report, you have the option of attending a conference call between the consultant(s) involved in delivering your project and individuals within your organisation who you feel would benefit from a more in-depth discussion of the report’s findings.
