UNDERSTANDING REQUIREMENTS

Why Web Application Security Matters?

Web & API security failures let attackers steal data, impersonate users, and pivot to backends; web & API security testing proves exploitability and prevents revenue-damaging breaches

Unvalidated inputs and logic flaws

Attackers abuse client and API trust to alter business flows

  • Parameter tampering enables unauthorized data modification
  • Sequence manipulation triggers fraud and breaches

Broken authentication and session controls

Weak token handling leads to account takeover

  • Predictable tokens enable mass account takeover
  • Broken session flows allow lateral movement

Chained misconfigurations and CVE noise

Isolated scanner flags hide exploitable chains

  • Default credentials open administrator access paths
  • Weak crypto enables silent data interception

Exposed APIs and misrouted CORS

Open endpoints leak data and trust boundaries

  • Permissive CORS permits cross-origin data theft
  • Unauthenticated endpoints leak sensitive customer data

Slow developer closure and high false positives

Vague reports delay fixes and audits

  • High noise delays critical vulnerability fixes
  • Poor repro blocks timely remediation
WHATS INCLUDED

Software Secured’s Web Application Pentesting

We assume attacker techniques - logic abuse, auth flaws, and API pivoting. Findings are reproducible, prioritized for engineering, and mapped to compliance requirements.

Adversary-grade recon and mapping

We build an attacker's view of your web and API estate using light threat modeling

  • Reveal high-risk workflows and functionality
  • Focus testing on attacker paths

Authorization surface discovery

We identify endpoints that expose permission and tenant isolation failures

  • Prevent unauthorized cross-tenant data leaks
  • Harden ACLs to enforce tenant isolation

Business logic and workflow testing

We exploit how the app implements rules across web and API layers

  • Uncover revenue-impacting logic flaws
  • Prioritize fixes by business impact

Authentication, session, and SSO validation

We test token flows and IdP integrations for web & API security

  • Prevent account takeover via tokens
  • Strengthen SSO to reduce risk

Controlled exploitation and proofing

We chain findings into end-to-end web & API exploit narratives

  • Deliver reproducible exploit evidence and logs
  • Enable prioritized fixes with repro
OUR VALUE

What sets Software Secured Apart

Reproducible exploit chains

We deliver step-by-step attack scenarios with evidence and remediation guidance

  • Show leadership tangible risk and prioritization
  • Give engineers clear repro steps and fixes

Vulnerability scoring with CVSS and DREAD

Risks are quantified using dual industry standards

  • Standardize risk communication across teams
  • Prioritize fixes based on real impact

Portal feature

Each vulnerability includes impact, repro, and remediation. Reports link technical details to executive summaries

  • Provide audit-ready, compliance-focused reports
  • Streamline remediation with automated workflows

Compliance and integration-first delivery

Findings map to common compliance workflows

  • Accelerate audits and procurement readiness
  • Sync fixes across connected security platforms

“I was impressed at how thorough the test plan was, and how "deep" some of the issues were that their testing uncovered. Also, the onboarding process was simple and painless: they were able to articulate exactly what they needed from us, and showed a clear understanding of the product they would be testing during our initial demo”

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from a standard vulnerability scan?

Manual web & API security testing confirms exploitability and chains findings into end-to-end attack narratives; scans only surface potential issues without proving impact or pivot paths. Light threat modeling included in every greybox pentest allows for custom attack execution.

Will testing disrupt production systems?

We design scoped tests, avoid destructive techniques in production, and execute potentially disruptive actions only in agreed windows or test environments with rollback plans. Software Secured recommends testing on a replica of prod.

Do you need source code or access to CI/CD?

No. We test from the live app and APIs, but source, logs, or CI access increases coverage speed and root-cause analysis depth.

What deliverables do you provide?

Reproducible exploit chains, logs and telemetry, prioritized remediation, CVSS/DREAD scoring, Portal-linked evidence, and executive summaries for compliance and procurement.

How do results support compliance and procurement?

Findings map to SOC 2 and PCI controls, include repro and remediation, and provide audit-ready artifacts and integrations that shorten vendor approvals.
