Types of Web App Penetration Testing We Provide
001
Black box testing

The tester operates with no prior knowledge of the system. We closely simulate real-world attacks using a high level of technical expertise in penetration testing services and security practices.

002
Grey box testing

This option is somehow a middle ground between two previous. We have limited knowledge of the system. It is useful for targeting specific vulnerabilities more efficiently.

003
White box web app pen test

Our testers possess complete knowledge of the system and have unrestricted access. They leave no stone unturned, thoroughly examining all aspects of the application to uncover any potential vulnerabilities.

Benefits of Web Application Penetration Testing Service
Risk reduction
Risk reduction

Web application security testing service helps determine security loopholes before real cyber attacks and security breaches. We help identify critical risks and mitigate them before they affect your business.

Compliance adherence
Compliance adherence

Web app pentesting is your best assistance in ensuring compliance with industry regulations such as PCI DSS, HIPAA, SOC2, etc. Our pen testers also help check and verify the existing security measures and policies.

Cost savings
Cost savings

Successful hacker attacks and data breaches cost companies much more than investments in preventive security measures. This applies to both funds and reputational capital. Our web application pentesting services help you save resources by preventing the risks and regulatory sanctions associated with them.

Enhanced security posture
Enhanced security posture

Web application penetration test helps improve app infrastructure, including public components such as firewalls and DNS servers. Along with this, identifying security vulnerabilities under the real attack scenarios helps to significantly strengthen security posture.

We Adhere to Security Standards

OWASP

PTES

OWASP, the Open Web Application Security Project, sets the industry standards for web application security testing, and we adhere to them rigorously.  These standards include a number of best practices aimed at identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities.

Among the main areas of attention are:

web app authentication mechanisms;

input validation;

encryption;

injection prevention;

cross-site scripting (XSS) prevention, etc.

We adhere to Penetration Testing Execution Standard (PTES). It covers all the areas related to pen testing. Strict adherence to OWASP and PTES guidelines in web application pen testing allows us to examine every aspect of your application, ensure the integrity of its digital infrastructure, and provide actionable recommendations to protect you against cyber threats.

These are professional standards that apply to:

pre-engagement interactions;

information gathering;

threat and attack modeling;

vulnerability assessment;

exploitation;

post exploitation;

reporting.

Our Approach

Step 1

Preparation

Gathering detailed information and researching all the unique aspects of web applications is a crucial initial step. It allows us to create a foundation for the next steps and tailor our processes to the target system's specific needs and possible weaknesses. We try to collect as much raw data as possible to make the pen testing process more efficient and in-depth. This stage generally lasts about one week.

Step 2

Penetration test

This is where the fun begins. We simulate various attack scenarios based on comprehensive information about the target web app and our own expertise. Our pen testers examine different levels of the target system and reveal hidden critical vulnerabilities that automated tools cannot detect. This process is thorough, accurate, and tailored particularly to the client’s web-based app. The duration depends on many factors, including the state of the security system and the customer's needs. In general, it is 1-3 weeks.

Step 3

Reporting

This step is no less important than the previous ones because it accurately documents system vulnerabilities. The report includes security testing objectives, likely consequential breaches, and a description of procedures and techniques. Our main task here is to equip you with actionable insights and the most accurate data on security risks. In addition to critical findings, we offer recommendations for remediating weaknesses and strengthening security systems. This stage of web application pen testing takes 2-3 days.

Step 4

Results overview

In the final stage, we transform technical data into understandable ideas. We present a comprehensive overview of security vulnerabilities and their potential impact on business operations. The security team also provides advice on prioritizing remediation tasks and the next steps. You get a comprehensive overview of potential risks and threats that require a response, along with guidelines for addressing them. This pen test phase's duration is 1-2 days in general.

FAQs
What types of vulnerabilities can web application penetration testing uncover?

Proper web application penetration test can uncover various types of vulnerabilities, including:
  • injection flaws;
  • authentication weaknesses;
  • sensitive data exposure;
  • XML external entities;
  • broken access control;
  • security misconfigurations;
  • cross-site scripting;
  • insecure deserialization;
  • insufficient logging and monitoring, etc.

At TechMagic, we prefer to use a custom approach to every project; therefore, we can go beyond the general weaknesses and examine the system more closely.

How often should web app penetration testing be performed?

Much depends on the unique features of each individual case. Ideally, penetration testers conduct pen testing at least annually. You may also require additional penetration testing services after significant changes or in response to specific threats or incidents. Compliance requirements and the level of risk also affect the frequency of testing.

Is web app penetration test compliant with industry regulations?

We provide any penetration testing services in strict compliance with regulatory requirements, and web app pen testing is no exception. It complies with industry regulations such as PCI DSS, HIPAA, and GDPR, which require regular security assessments to protect sensitive data.

How long does a web application penetration testing engagement typically take?

It all depends on factors such as web apps complexity, the scope of testing, and available resources. Typically, engagements can take anywhere from one to several weeks. More complex applications and issues require more time to conduct thorough testing.

What deliverables can I expect from a web application penetration testing engagement?

We provide services depending on your unique needs and requirements. In general, every client get
  • (vulnerabilities, their severity, etc.). It includes in-depth technical documentation with information on the methods used, the steps taken, and the results obtained during testing. You also get the remediation guidance on how to address and remediate identified vulnerabilities, including prioritization based on severity.
  • Letter of attestation (optionally). You can demonstrate it to the stakeholders or your users to prove your commitment to high security standards.
Is web application penetration testing performed by automated tools or human testers?

Security experts commonly use automated tools for initial vulnerability scans. However, the essence of penetration testing is to use real people's experience and capabilities to discover complex vulnerabilities and simulate real attack scenarios. That is why the main part of the process is manual, which provides complete coverage of web application security.

Will web application penetration testing disrupt my live application or business operations?

Our security team conducts web application penetration testing in a way that minimizes disruption to active applications and business operations. We always warn customers and choose off-peak hours for network penetration testing. Open communication helps mitigate any potential disruptions.

How can I get started with web application penetration testing for my organization?

It is always worth starting with a comprehensive review of your web-based application. This applies to everything from network infrastructure to business logic. If you do not know which methodologies and methods to use, just contact us. We will discuss all the testing details, identify the unique features of your company and web application, and create a detailed plan. We'll help to transform our critical findings into efficient security measures and proper vulnerability management.
