Find the vulnerabilities before attackers do.
A web application and API security assessment that tests against the OWASP Top 10 and OWASP API Top 10 — and maps every finding to SOC 2, ISO 27001 and GDPR controls, so one assessment answers both your security and your audit questions.
What is a web application security assessment?
A structured test of your web apps and APIs against the OWASP Top 10 and OWASP API Top 10, combining automated scanning with manual verification. Every confirmed finding is risk-scored and mapped to SOC 2, ISO 27001 and GDPR controls, then delivered in a report your engineers, executives and auditors can all act on.
The OWASP Top 10 — the risks we test for
The OWASP Top 10 is the industry-standard list of the most critical web application security risks. We test your applications against every one.
Broken Access Control
Users acting outside their intended permissions — the most common serious web risk.
Cryptographic Failures
Weak or missing encryption exposing sensitive data in transit or at rest.
Injection
Untrusted input reaching an interpreter — SQLi, command injection, and cross-site scripting (XSS).
Insecure Design
Missing or ineffective security controls baked into the architecture itself.
Security Misconfiguration
Default settings, verbose errors, open cloud storage, and unnecessary features left enabled.
Vulnerable & Outdated Components
Known-vulnerable libraries and dependencies shipped into production.
Identification & Authentication Failures
Weak login, session, and credential handling that lets attackers impersonate users.
Software & Data Integrity Failures
Unverified updates, insecure CI/CD, and untrusted deserialization.
Security Logging & Monitoring Failures
Breaches that go undetected because the right events were never logged or watched.
Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)
Coercing the server into making requests to internal systems it shouldn't reach.
The OWASP API Security Top 10
Most modern breaches happen at the API layer. We assess your APIs against the OWASP API Security Top 10 (2023).
Broken Object Level Authorization (BOLA)
Accessing another user's objects by changing an ID in the request.
Broken Authentication
Flawed token, key, or credential handling on API endpoints.
Broken Object Property Level Authorization
Exposing or accepting object fields a user shouldn't read or write.
Unrestricted Resource Consumption
No rate/quota limits — the door to denial-of-service and cost abuse.
Broken Function Level Authorization (BFLA)
Regular users reaching admin or privileged functions.
Unrestricted Access to Sensitive Business Flows
Automated abuse of flows like signup, checkout, or ticketing.
Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)
APIs fetching remote resources without validating the destination.
Security Misconfiguration
Insecure defaults, missing headers, and permissive CORS on the API.
Improper Inventory Management
Forgotten, undocumented, or deprecated API versions and hosts.
Unsafe Consumption of APIs
Trusting third-party API data without validating it.
Every finding, mapped to the controls you report on
A vulnerability isn't just a technical issue — it's a failed control. We map each finding across the standards your security and compliance teams already use.

Our assessment methodology
1. Scope & recon
Define targets and rules of engagement; map the attack surface — endpoints, APIs, auth flows, and technologies.
2. Automated + manual testing
Best-of-breed scanners (OWASP ZAP, Nuclei, API Top-10 testing) combined with manual verification to remove false positives.
3. Validation & risk scoring
Every finding is confirmed and scored with CVSS, enriched by CISA KEV and EPSS exploitability and business context.
4. Standards mapping
Each finding is mapped to OWASP Top 10, API Top 10, SOC 2, ISO 27001 and GDPR controls — so security and audit read from the same result.
5. Reporting & remediation
A clear report for executives, engineers and auditors, with prioritized fixes — then re-test to validate closure.
A report your whole team can act on
- Executive summary in plain language — posture and the issues that matter
- Per-finding detail: severity, evidence, affected asset, and step-by-step remediation
- OWASP Top 10, API Top 10, SOC 2, ISO 27001 and GDPR control mapping on every finding
- A standards coverage matrix and overall security rating
- Exploitability context (CISA KEV, EPSS) and the exact tool versions used
- Prioritized remediation plan and re-test verification of closed findings

Which standards does the assessment map findings to?
Every finding is mapped to the OWASP Top 10, OWASP API Top 10 and OWASP ASVS, and cross-referenced to SOC 2 (Common Criteria), ISO 27001:2022 Annex A controls and GDPR Article 32 — so your engineering, security and compliance teams work from one result instead of separate reports.
Do you test APIs as well as web applications?
Yes. API security is assessed against the OWASP API Security Top 10 (2023) — including BOLA, broken authentication, function-level authorization and business-flow abuse — alongside the web application OWASP Top 10.
What does the report include?
An executive summary, per-finding detail with evidence and remediation, exploitability context (CISA KEV and EPSS), a standards coverage matrix mapped to OWASP/SOC 2/ISO/GDPR, an overall security rating, and a prioritized remediation plan. A sample report is available to download on this page.
How do you reduce false positives?
Automated scanning is combined with manual verification, and every reported finding is confirmed and risk-scored before it reaches the report — so you act on real, exploitable issues rather than raw scanner noise.
