Web Application & API Security Testing

Thorough security testing of web applications and APIs to identify vulnerabilities in authentication, authorisation, session management, input handling, and business logic.

Overview

Web applications and APIs are frequently targeted attack surfaces. Our application security testing combines automated scanning with manual analysis to identify vulnerabilities that could allow data theft, unauthorised access, or compromise of application integrity.

We test beyond common vulnerability categories to examine business logic, authentication flows, and application-specific risks that generic tools cannot identify.

Who This Is For

  • Organisations deploying or maintaining customer-facing web applications
  • SaaS companies and technology product teams
  • Companies exposing APIs to partners or third parties
  • Development teams seeking pre-release security validation

What We Test

  • Authentication and session management
  • Authorisation and access control
  • Input validation and injection vulnerabilities
  • Cross-site scripting and content injection
  • Business logic flaws
  • API security (REST, GraphQL, SOAP)
  • File upload and data handling
  • Server-side request forgery and SSRF
  • Security headers and transport security

What You Receive

  • Detailed vulnerability report with evidence and reproduction steps
  • Risk ratings with business impact context
  • Developer-friendly remediation guidance
  • Executive summary
  • Retest support after remediation
