Web Application Vulnerability Assessments are a surface level view of the security of your web applications, detecting things like outdated software or exposed sensitive information, whereas Web Application Penetration Testing offers deeper insight into areas such as application logic, potential avenues for an attacker to gain access to the back-end of your web application or even possible ways vulnerabilities found during an assessment may be combined to cause harm to your customers.

While firewalls and antivirus software provide perimeter defence, a web application penetration test delves deep into the application’s code and logic to uncover vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers, ensuring comprehensive protection.

The frequency of tests depends on factors such as the complexity of your applications, changes in functionality, and regulatory requirements. Typically, businesses perform tests annually or after significant updates to their applications.

Our testing process is designed to minimise disruptions to your business operations. We work closely with your team to schedule testing at convenient times, such as during off-peak hours, and take measures to mitigate any potential impact on your systems or services. Our goal is to ensure thorough testing while minimising disruptions to your day-to-day activities.

If vulnerabilities are discovered, the penetration testing team provides detailed reports outlining the findings and recommendations for remediation. This enables development teams to prioritise fixes and enhance the security of your web applications.

While developers play a crucial role in writing secure code, web application penetration testing requires specialised skills and techniques to identify complex vulnerabilities that may be overlooked during development. Partnering with experienced professionals ensures a thorough assessment and strengthens your overall security posture.
