Identify and Mitigate Vulnerabilities Before They’re Exploited

At CliffGuard, we offer Web Application Penetration Testing (WAPT) services designed to uncover vulnerabilities in your web applications before attackers do. Our expert team uses a combination of manual testing and automated tools to identify weaknesses, validate risks, and ensure your applications are secure against the latest threats. Whether you’re running a SaaS platform, an e-commerce site, our tailored approach keeps your data, users, and business safe.

What is Web Application Penetration Testing?

Web Application Penetration Testing is a proactive cybersecurity assessment where ethical hackers simulate real-world attacks to evaluate the security posture of your web application. The goal is to uncover vulnerabilities like SQL injection, XSS, broken authentication, and more β€” before they can be exploited by malicious actors.

Unlike automated vulnerability scans, WAPT involves deep manual testing, which is essential to uncover complex business logic flaws and real-world attack chains that tools alone can’t identify.

Why Choose Our Web Application Penetration Testing Service?

Cybersecurity compliance is critical for businesses that handle sensitive data, as it helps mitigate risks related to data breaches, financial penalties, and legal liabilities. Here’s why compliance is essential:

  1. Prevent Costly Data Breaches: A single vulnerability can compromise user data and damage your brand. Penetration testing helps fix them proactively.

  2. Meet Regulatory Compliance: Our testing aligns with key standards like OWASP Top 10, ISO/IEC 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR

  3. Protect Brand Reputation: Security breaches erode customer trust. Show your commitment to security with independent testing and secure development practices.

  4. Gain Competitive Advantage: Clients trust vendors who take security seriously. Certification from a penetration test can help win deals and partnerships.

VAPT Methodology
How We Test Your Web Apps?

Our WAPT Process

01. Scoping & Planning

We start by defining a clear scope for the web application penetration test, identifying key modules, user roles, APIs, and sensitive data flows. This ensures targeted and effective web application security testing tailored to your infrastructure.

Our team maps your application’s attack surface by discovering endpoints, parameters, and technologies in use. This step mimics a real attacker’s recon phase and is vital for a complete vulnerability assessment.

We identify security weaknesses using automated scanners and expert manual OWASP penetration testing. This includes detecting flaws like SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and broken access control.

Each discovered vulnerability is safely exploited to demonstrate real-world risk. This process helps you prioritize threats based on impact, strengthening your web application security posture.

You’ll receive a detailed penetration testing report with risk scores, technical details, and step-by-step remediation guidance. All issues are mapped to standards like OWASP Top 10, ISO 27001, and PCI DSS.

After fixes are implemented, we perform a retest to ensure all vulnerabilities are resolved. Our team also provides ongoing support and secure coding best practices to help prevent future risks.

  • Scoping & Planning

Vulnerabilities We Check For (OWASP Top 10 + Beyond)

Our testing adheres to the OWASP Top 10 and more advanced vectors:

  1. Injection Flaws: SQL, NoSQL, OS, and LDAP injection attacks.

  2. Broken Authentication: Weaknesses in authentication mechanisms.

  3. Sensitive Data Exposure: Inadequate protection of sensitive data.

  4. XML External Entities (XXE): Vulnerabilities in XML parsers.

  5. Broken Access Control: Insufficient restrictions on user privileges.

  6. Security Misconfigurations: Insecure default configurations and incomplete setups.

  7. Cross-Site Scripting (XSS): Injection of malicious scripts into web pages.

  8. Insecure Deserialization: Flaws allowing remote code execution.

  9. Using Components with Known Vulnerabilities: Outdated or vulnerable libraries and frameworks.

  10. Insufficient Logging & Monitoring: Lack of effective logging and monitoring mechanisms.

Benefits of Web Application Penetration Testing

  • Proactive Threat Detection: Identify vulnerabilities before they’re exploited by attackers.

  • Improved Security Posture: Strengthen defenses by addressing high-risk vulnerabilities.

  • Compliance Assurance: Meet industry regulations like PCI DSS, GDPR, and ISO 27001.

  • Increased Trust: Build customer confidence by demonstrating a commitment to security.

  • Cost Efficiency: Save on potential costs by fixing vulnerabilities early, avoiding expensive data breaches or incidents.

F.A.Q.

Got Questions ?

Q. What is web application penetration testing?

A: Web Application Penetration Testing (WAPT) is a controlled, simulated attack on your web application to identify vulnerabilities that could be exploited by cybercriminals.

A: We recommend conducting WAPT annually or after major updates or changes to your application, such as new features, integrations, or technology changes.

A: Our testing is carefully planned to avoid any disruptions to your production environment. We always work within agreed timelines and follow safe testing protocols.

The cost of cybersecurity services varies based on business size, security needs, industry compliance requirements, and chosen solutions. Basic cybersecurity packages, such as firewalls and antivirus, may start at a few hundred dollars, while enterprise-level security solutions, SOC monitoring, and penetration testing can range from thousands to millions annually. At CliffGuard, we offer flexible pricing models, including subscription-based security, managed security services (MSSP), and customized cybersecurity plans tailored to your business needs.

Cyber threats evolve daily, and one-size-fits-all security solutions often fail to address specific vulnerabilities. Customized cybersecurity solutions provide proactive threat defense, tailored security frameworks, compliance assurance, and optimized security investments. Businesses benefit from enhanced risk mitigation, real-time threat intelligence, and long-term cyber resilience. With CliffGuard's personalized security approach, organizations gain robust protection, reduced attack surfaces, and an adaptive security strategy to counter evolving threats.
