What Are The Risks Involved With Untested Web Applications?
External facing Web Applications used by businesses are by nature available to all via the public Internet. Their complexity and availability have made them an ideal target for attackers and there have been many publicised data breaches that have been caused by insecure web applications.
Protecting these applications from new threats is a constant challenge, especially for developers who may not be security aware and who are working towards a performance deadline.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the deliverable from Web Application Penetration Test?
The deliverable from this service is a full Web Application Penetration Test Report that is uploaded to our SecurePortal and available for you to interact with. This differs from the competition in the way this is delivered and we believe this is a much clearer way to work with an manage the results of the assessment.
Can you test an Internal Web Application?
Yes, we can test an internal application in one of two ways. If possible you can get us remote access via a VPN service so that our security consultant can connect to the application. The second way is where our security consultant visits your site and connects to the internal app in the same way the users would.
What type of Web Applications can be tested?
We can test all of the latest web technologies and web-based applications. Our security consultants are very experienced at such testing and the initial scoping exercise will provide you with an accurate estimation of time required, whether this be authenticated, unauthenticated or even APIs.
What the difference between a normal Pen Test and Web App Test?
What is classed as a normal Penetration Tests are usually focussed more around the network infrastructure and hosts rather than web applications. Web Application security is a specialised field and requires specialist consultants who understand computer software architectures in order to achieve a thorough assessment.
Do I need a Web Application Assessment?
At Pentest People we feel that any organisation with an external-facing Web Application needs a Web Application Penetration Test. Due to the range of exploits now available and easily accessible to threat actors, if your web application isn't regularly tested you're at major risk of a cyber incident occurring.
What is a Web Application Penetration Test?
A web application test, also known as web application penetration testing or web app pen test, is a comprehensive process used to identify and evaluate security vulnerabilities in web applications. This test simulates real-world cyber attacks to uncover potential weaknesses, such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and authentication flaws, within the application's design, code, or configuration.
