What we deliver
We run risk-driven security tests on web and mobile applications and APIs, whether public or internal. The scope is defined together with your technical team and covers critical business flows, authentication, authorization, injection, data exposure and logic flaws. The tests follow recognized references (OWASP best practices for application risks and the PTES penetration testing framework) and deliver artifacts ready for prioritization by real risk and for remediation.
The problem it solves
Production applications with vulnerabilities that automated scanners do not detect. Teams that need objective visibility into technical risk before audits or critical releases.
CTOs, heads of product, engineering leaders and security teams that need an independent assessment of the security posture of their applications.
Before audits, after significant changes to the application, as a compliance requirement, or when the team needs an outside view of the attack surface.

How the work happens, in practice
What the test covers
Authentication and session management (password policy, MFA, token expiration and invalidation, JWT with validated algorithm and signature), access control (BOLA/IDOR, meaning access to other users' objects by changing an identifier; vertical and horizontal privilege escalation), input validation (SQL, command and template injection, XSS, SSRF), business logic, excessive data exposure in API responses and security configuration, such as HTTP headers and CORS. For APIs, the reference is the OWASP API Security Top 10; for web applications, the OWASP Top 10 and ASVS; for mobile, MASVS.
How exploitation is carried out
Automated tools widen coverage, but manual testing is what defines the outcome: chaining small flaws, abusing business flows and validating real impact. A common example is combining a low-risk IDOR with user enumeration to reach the data of many customers. Race conditions on balances and coupons, rate limit bypass and mass assignment are also tested. A vulnerability only enters the report with reproducible evidence (request, response and steps), and severity takes into account ease of exploitation and business impact, with CVSS as a supporting input, not the only score.
Signs that a test is needed
Launching an application or a public API, a significant change to authentication, authorization or payments, a third-party integration, an architecture migration, a customer or audit requirement, or the lack of a recent manual test. PCI DSS 4.0.1 (requirement 11.4), for example, calls for penetration testing in environments that handle card data. Scanners and routine automated tests find known issues, but they do not replace the view of someone who tries to exploit the system like an attacker, nor do they assess specific business rules. A good result includes retesting the fixes, to confirm the flaw no longer exists.
What sets us apart
- Manual tests by specialists, not just generic automation
- A report with business context, not just a list of CVEs
- Free retest for 30 days to validate the fixes
- Direct knowledge transfer to the engineering team
