Application penetration testing

Application penetration testing for web apps, mobile apps, APIs, and business-critical workflows.

The review covers browsers, mobile clients, APIs, identity flows, and workflow logic, so the findings stay inside the trust boundaries.

Application security testing interface
App-to-backend trust path.Review the app, API, identity flow, workflow logic, and interface together as one system.

Web applications

Customer portals, SaaS products, internal tools, admin panels, booking flows, payment paths, and complex business logic.

Mobile apps

iOS and Android release paths, token handling, local storage, transport security, backend assumptions, and mobile-specific trust decisions.

APIs

Authentication, authorisation, object-level access control, tenant isolation, workflow logic, rate limiting, and error handling.

Included in the report

Executive summary, technical findings, reproduction steps, and remediation guidance for engineering and leaders.

What the review covers

Follow the user journey and the attack path.

Testing is approved before it begins and aligned with established application-security practice, including OWASP guidance.

  • Authentication and session handling
  • Authorisation and role separation
  • Object-level access control and tenant boundaries
  • Input handling and injection exposure
  • Mobile-to-API trust assumptions
  • Plausible attack paths within the defined boundaries
  • Evidence and remediation guidance

Application review

Application testing is for products that rely on browser, mobile, API, identity, or workflow logic.

Drivers include product launches, major releases, inherited code, platform expansion, customer review cycles, and procurement diligence.

Web, mobile, and API surfaces are grouped because the risk spans more than one layer.

The deliverable gives engineering issues to fix, security teams triage context, and customer-facing teams a summary.

What you get

Findings that stand up to customer, internal, and procurement scrutiny.

A focused application review produces findings engineering can reproduce, security can prioritise, and leaders can act on.
