WebApp / API PenTest

WebApp / API PenTest

ASSESSMENT

Web applications and APIs are the core interface for users, workflows, and sensitive data—making them a primary target. A single vulnerability is often enough to compromise accounts or exploit business logic.

This assessment provides clear visibility into your application's actual security posture. Instead of relying on automated scans, we simulate real-world attack paths and target vulnerabilities like BOLA, SSRF, and Injection, delivering actionable remediation guidance for your teams.

FOR WHOM?

  • Security teams and AppSec managers
  • Development teams and software engineers
  • Product owners and technical project leads
  • Companies running externally accessible web apps and APIs

BENEFITS

  • Reduced attack surface through proactive Attack Surface Management
  • Prioritized mitigation based on real-world risk (CVSS) and effort
  • Stronger audit and compliance readiness (SOC 2, ISO 27001)
  • Higher resilience against external threats

OUTCOME

  • Audit-ready final report backed by technical evidence
  • Prioritized findings with clear risk scores
  • Reproducible PoCs proving actual exploitability
  • Actionable remediation tasks for development teams

Test Preparation & Scope

Duration: 0,5 Days

We start by defining a precise scope: URLs, subdomains, roles, APIs, and test data.

During the kick-off, we align on goals, critical functions, and realistic threat scenarios for the application.

Dependencies like identity providers, payment gateways, or internal backends are factored in from the start.

We set the ground rules, including test windows, monitoring, and communication channels.

Test accounts, MFA handling, and required documentation are fully prepared before testing begins.

Test Preparation & Scope

Pentest & Analysis

Duration: 4 Days

Next, we systematically test the application along realistic attack paths.
Technical vulnerabilities and business logic flaws are verified for actual exploitability.
We focus heavily on OWASP Top 10 API risks, including BOLA, IDOR, SSRF, and Injection.
For every finding, we document the affected endpoints, the associated risk, and concrete countermeasures.
Critical vulnerabilities are communicated immediately during the test to allow for rapid response.

Pentest & Analysis

Reporting & Handover

Duration: 0,5 Days

In a final meeting, we present the assessment results, complete with a detailed risk analysis and clear recommendations.

Your final report is structured to be easily digestible for both technical teams and management.

Together, we walk through reproduction steps, technical context, and potential fixes.

Optionally, we define a retest to verify the applied fixes and prove the improved security posture.

Reporting & Handover

Next Step: Remediation Project (optional)

If needed, we support your team with the technical implementation of your prioritized findings.

Our cybersecurity team helps integrate these security measures seamlessly into your existing development and operational workflows.

Remediation tasks are prioritized collaboratively based on risk, effort, and operational impact to ensure structured resolution.

Optionally, we guide the hardening of role models, APIs, and security-critical configurations.

The goal: a sustainably reduced attack surface, firmly anchored in your daily operations.

Next Step: Remediation Project (optional)

Attackers often know your APIs better than you think. Do you?
