Application Security

Find the vulnerabilities in your applications before the next deployment.

Applications remain the number-one breach vector. We combine dynamic testing (DAST), static analysis (SAST), composition analysis (SCA/SBOM) and manual business-logic review following OWASP Top 10, ASVS v4.0 and PTES. We integrate testing into your CI/CD pipeline for real shift-left.

OWASP Top 10 2025

Reference framework

OWASP Top 10 2021 edition

We test every application against OWASP's ten most critical vulnerability categories, complemented with OWASP ASVS v4.0 level 2 for exhaustive coverage.

A01:2021

Broken Access Control

Missing authorization checks: IDOR, horizontal/vertical escalation, role bypass, token manipulation.

A02:2021

Cryptographic Failures

Weak encryption, plaintext secret storage, misconfigured TLS, predictable randomness, insecure hashing.

A03:2021

Injection

SQLi, NoSQLi, command injection, LDAP, ORM injection, server-side template injection (SSTI), XSS.

A04:2021

Insecure Design

Architectural flaws: no threat modeling, controls missing by design, exploitable business flows.

A05:2021

Security Misconfiguration

Frameworks with insecure defaults, missing headers, exposed debug, verbose errors, permissive CORS.

A06:2021

Vulnerable & Outdated Components

Dependencies with known CVEs, deprecated libraries, missing SBOM, supply chain risks.

A07:2021

Identification & Authentication Failures

Credential stuffing, no MFA, weak recovery, sessions without revocation, improperly validated JWT.

A08:2021

Software & Data Integrity Failures

Unverified plugins/dependencies, insecure deserialization, compromisable CI/CD pipelines.

A09:2021

Security Logging & Monitoring Failures

No logging of critical events, logs without context, missing alerts, no evidence for forensics.

A10:2021

Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)

The app follows user-controlled external URLs, reaching internal resources (cloud metadata, private networks).

What we evaluate

  • DAST pentesting of modern web applications (SPA, SSR)
  • SAST static analysis of source code
  • Composition analysis (SCA) and SBOM generation
  • Manual business-logic and authorization review
  • Security architecture assessment
  • Shift-left integration into CI/CD pipelines

Methodology

  1. 1Full functionality and surface mapping
  2. 2OWASP Top 10 + ASVS level 2 testing
  3. 3Manual business-logic analysis
  4. 4Authentication, authorization and session testing
  5. 5Fuzzing, injections and race conditions
  6. 6Retesting included at no additional cost

Deliverables

  • Detailed report documenting every vulnerability
  • Reproducible proof-of-concept for each finding
  • Contextualized OWASP and CVSS v3.1 classification
  • Stack-specific remediation recommendations
  • Secure-coding workshop for the development team

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a vulnerability assessment and a penetration test?

A vulnerability assessment is mostly automated: it scans and lists known weaknesses. A penetration test adds manual exploitation, chains flaws that look minor in isolation and demonstrates real business impact. Scanning tells you what might fail; pentesting proves what actually does.

What methodology do you follow?

We align with the OWASP Top 10 and OWASP ASVS, combining manual testing with DAST, SAST and SCA, plus SBOM generation to map the application's third-party components.

Do you retest after fixes are applied?

Yes. After remediation we verify that the fixes are effective and have not introduced new flaws, and we update the status of every finding in the report.

Do you need access to the source code?

Not necessarily. We can work black box with no code access, or grey and white box if you share it. With code access coverage is broader and false negatives drop.
