Web application testing
Manual and automated testing of your web apps for access control, authentication, injection, business logic and session flaws.
Security Assessment & Penetration Testing
Find the weaknesses an attacker would use, before they do.
We test your web and mobile apps, APIs, cloud accounts and internal networks the way a real attacker would, with manual testing on top of automated scans. Every finding comes with its business impact, clear fix guidance and a retest once you have fixed it.
The problem
Why penetration tests so often disappoint.
01
Scanner output passed off as a test
An automated scan finds known issues. It misses broken access control, business logic flaws and chained attacks, which are what real breaches use.
02
Hundreds of findings, no priorities
A report lists every low-risk header next to a critical flaw, and the team cannot tell where to start.
03
Tests that ignore how you work
Testing runs at the wrong time, breaks a production job or misses the systems that changed since the last review.
04
Nobody checks the fixes
Issues are marked closed in a tracker, but nobody confirms the fix works until the next annual test finds them again.
What we test
Testing that leads to fixes.
Each test is scoped to what you run and what you need to prove, whether that is to your board, a customer or an auditor.
API security testing
REST and GraphQL APIs tested for broken object level authorisation, excessive data exposure, rate limits and weak tokens.
Mobile application testing
Android and iOS apps tested on device and in code: local storage, certificate pinning, backend calls and reverse engineering.
Cloud and network testing
External and internal network tests plus configuration reviews of AWS, Azure and GCP accounts against CIS Benchmarks.
Threat modelling
A structured look at a system's design before or during build, so the riskiest paths are tested and designed out first.
Red team style exercises
Goal-based exercises that combine phishing simulation, external access and lateral movement to test your detection and response.

FAQ
Questions we hear a lot.
What is the difference between a vulnerability assessment and a penetration test?
A vulnerability assessment finds and lists known weaknesses, mostly with automated tools. A penetration test goes further: a tester tries to exploit those weaknesses, chain them together and reach real data or systems, which shows what an attacker could actually do. Most clients need both, and VAPT is the common name for doing them together.
Will testing disrupt our production systems?
We plan to avoid it. We agree testing windows, rate limits and any systems that must not be touched, test in staging where it mirrors production and keep an emergency contact on both sides. Destructive tests only happen with your written approval.
Black box, grey box or white box testing: which do we need?
Black box testing, with no inside knowledge, shows what an outsider sees. Grey box, with test accounts and some documentation, finds more in the same time and is what we recommend for most applications. White box, with source code access, suits critical systems where you want the deepest assurance.
Is retesting included?
Yes. Once you have fixed the findings, we retest them and update the report to show what is closed. A test is only useful if the fixes are confirmed.
Will the report satisfy our customers and auditors?
Our reports include scope, method, dates, findings with evidence and retest status, which is what customers, ISO 27001 and SOC 2 auditors and most regulators ask for. If a regulator or customer requires testing by a specifically empanelled or accredited firm, tell us early and we will say honestly whether that applies.
How often should we test?
At least once a year, and after any major change: a new application, a large release, a cloud migration or a new integration with sensitive data. Many teams also test critical applications before each major release.
