Web Application Penetration Testing
Secure your digital ecosystem with SA Infotech's industry-leading Web Application Penetration Testing. We go beyond automated scans to uncover deep-seated logical flaws and complex vulnerabilities.
About This Service
Our Methodology
Reconnaissance & Asset Discovery
We begin by mapping out your application's digital footprint. This includes identifying hidden endpoints, subdomains, third-party integrations, and technology stacks to understand the full attack surface.
Bypassing Security Controls
Our experts attempt to bypass Web Application Firewalls (WAF), rate-limiting, and other defensive measures to simulate a determined adversary's approach.
In-Depth Vulnerability Assessment
Systematic testing for common and exotic flaws, including SQL injection, Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), XML External Entities (XXE), and insecure deserialization.
Business Logic Testing
We dive deep into your application's business workflows to find flaws in multi-step processes, such as manipulating price fields in a cart or bypassing payment gateways.
Privilege Escalation & Session Management
Testing the robustness of authorization tokens and session cookies to ensure one user cannot access or modify another user's data.
Comprehensive Reporting & Debriefing
Our reports provide a prioritized list of findings with CVSS scores, clear proof-of-concept steps, and actionable remediation guidance tailored for developers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a vulnerability scan and a pentest?
A vulnerability scan is an automated process that identifies known flaws, while a penetration test (pentest) is a manual, goal-oriented assessment where a human tester attempts to exploit flaws and uncover complex logic issues that tools miss.
How often should we perform web app penetration testing?
We recommend testing after every major release, or at least annually for stable applications. Compliance standards like PCI-DSS may require specific frequencies.
Will the testing disrupt our live services?
We coordinate closely with your team. While we aim for minimal impact, we recommend testing in a staging or UAT environment that mirrors production for the best results without risk.
Does SA Infotech provide re-testing?
Yes, our Standard and Advanced packages include a round of re-testing to verify that all critical and high-severity issues have been resolved correctly.
