Your Discount Code Is an Admin Takeover.
OWASP Top 10 is table stakes. The breaches happen one layer down, where a negative quantity, a swapped object ID, or an account-merge flow becomes the path to someone else's data. We chain those flaws into exploits, not findings that fill a PDF.
Definition Web application penetration testing is manual, authorized adversarial testing of a web application covering OWASP Top 10 categories, authentication and authorization flaws, session handling, input validation, and business-logic abuse.

What It Is
The findings that matter have no signature. They live in how your app handles auth, multi-tenancy, session state, input validation, and the workflows specific to your business, which is why a person has to drive every test instead of a scanner. The OWASP Top 10 is where we start, not where we stop.
Every chain is reproduced by hand through the application as a user would hit it, scored on the records it reaches, and written up step by step so your engineers can replay it without translation.
Reports map to PCI DSS, SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and CMMC where the app falls in scope, with severity, remediation, and business impact called out per finding.
The class of bug that loses customer records is the one a scanner walks right past, the parameter tamper chained to a privilege escalation that no signature describes. Before a breach forces the answer, a web app pentest establishes whether someone can reach another tenant's data and what it costs when they do.

Why Companies Need This
- 01 Your app handles regulated data. PCI, HIPAA, and SOC 2 require manual testing of customer-facing apps.
- 02 You shipped a major release. Authentication rewrites, new payment flows, or role-model changes deserve human eyes before they meet adversaries.
- 03 Your last test read like a scanner export. If the deliverable looked like a Burp or ZAP report, it found what the tool finds, not the chained and logic flaws underneath.
- 04 You support multi-tenant access. Tenant isolation is the most-broken assumption in modern SaaS. We test it directly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1 How long does a web app pentest take?
Typical engagements run two to four weeks depending on application complexity, role count, and authenticated surface area. Scoping calls confirm before kickoff.
Q2 Do you test in production or staging?
We prefer a representative staging environment for invasive tests. Read-only checks can be production-safe. Scope is agreed before any work starts.
Q3 Do you cover GraphQL?
Yes. GraphQL endpoints are part of the web app pentest if exposed. We also offer dedicated API pentests for GraphQL-first products.
