Web applications
Authentication, sessions, access control, injection, browser-side behavior, file handling, workflows, and security configuration.
Senam Security · Penetration testing
Know what can actually be exploited.
Human-led testing for applications, APIs, and external attack surfaces—combining repeatable tooling with manual validation of authentication, authorization, business logic, and real attack paths.
Coverage
Testing shaped around the system, not a scanner template.
APIs
REST, GraphQL, and service endpoints tested for authorization, object access, mass assignment, input handling, rate controls, and data exposure.
External attack surface
Authorized public hosts, services, TLS, identity entry points, exposed administration, and misconfiguration from an outside attacker’s perspective.
Cloud & infrastructure
Scoped identity, network, storage, and workload testing where the customer and cloud-provider policies explicitly permit it.
Social engineering, destructive techniques, denial-of-service, mobile, wireless, physical, and connected-device testing are excluded unless separately scoped, authorized, and staffed.
Engagement model
Controlled testing. Clear evidence. Practical closure.
- 01
Scope and authorize
Confirm ownership, targets, exclusions, techniques, dates, escalation contacts, stop conditions, and data-handling requirements in writing.
- 02
Map the attack surface
Review architecture and API material, enumerate authorized routes and services, and establish expected roles and trust boundaries.
- 03
Test from multiple perspectives
Combine unauthenticated testing with dedicated standard-user, privileged, and service roles where applicable. Automated breadth supports—not replaces—manual analysis.
- 04
Validate and communicate
Manually confirm findings, contain impact, alert the customer immediately for critical risk, and peer-review evidence before delivery.
- 05
Remediate and retest
Provide engineering-ready guidance, hold a report readout, and verify fixes against the original evidence in an included retest.
What we need
Authenticated testing requires more than a URL.
Endpoints are the start. To test how a real user—or a compromised account—could abuse the system, we need approved test identities, role context, and explicit authorization.
Do not send credentials in ordinary email.Test credentials and sensitive architecture details must use an agreed secure transfer channel.
- TargetsDomains, applications, API base URLs, IP ranges, mobile backends, and environment names.
- Test accountsDedicated accounts for each meaningful role: anonymous, standard user, manager/admin, and service/API identity where applicable.
- Technical contextArchitecture/data-flow diagrams, OpenAPI/GraphQL collections, workflows, identity model, and relevant deployment notes.
- Rules of EngagementWritten authorization, exclusions, permitted techniques, test window, source IPs, rate limits, emergency contacts, and stop conditions.
- Safe test dataNon-production records, disposable tenants, upload samples, MFA method, and any WAF or monitoring coordination.
- Success criteriaCompliance drivers, recent changes, known concerns, prior findings, and the release or audit deadline.
Deliverables
Reports built for decision-makers and engineers.
Executive summary
Overall posture, business exposure, major attack paths, themes, and prioritized next actions.
Technical report
Scope, method, severity rationale, affected targets, evidence, reproduction guidance, CWE/CVSS mapping where useful, and remediation.
Action plan
Findings ordered by practical risk and remediation dependency, with immediate containment separated from durable fixes.
Readout and retest
A working session with stakeholders plus one validation cycle that records findings as open, mitigated, or closed.
Common questions
Before testing begins.
Do you need authenticated credentials?
For meaningful application and API coverage, usually yes. We use dedicated test accounts—not employee credentials—and request one account per relevant role. This enables authorization, workflow, tenant-isolation, and privilege-boundary testing that unauthenticated testing cannot perform.
Can you test production?
Only with explicit written approval and conservative Rules of Engagement. A production-like staging environment with equivalent identity and integrations is usually safer. If production is required, we agree on test windows, monitoring, rate limits, prohibited actions, backups, and emergency stop contacts.
Will testing prove we are secure?
No point-in-time test can prove the absence of vulnerabilities. The report describes the agreed scope, methods, evidence, limitations, and findings observed during the test window.
