DEFINED SCOPECONTROLLED TESTINGACTIONABLE FINDINGS

Permission first. Written authorization before testing.

Evidence matters. Manual validation alongside suitable tools.

A path forward. Findings tied to practical remediation.

01 / SERVICES

The right depth
for your application.

Start with your public-facing exposure, or agree a deeper engagement around your application's users, functions, and business risks.

02

Web application
penetration test

Deeper manual testing of agreed functions, business logic, input handling, and vulnerability impact, with controlled exploitation where authorized.

Separately scoped · Coverage matched to complexity

03

Authenticated
application testing

Client-provided test accounts let us assess sessions, permissions, and access between users and roles. Added as coverage within a penetration test.

Test accounts · Role and access-control checks

04

Remediation
verification

One retest round for original findings is included when requested within 30 days of report delivery. Receive updated status showing what was fixed.

02 / THE ENGAGEMENT

Clear from first scope
to final finding.

01

Define the boundaries

Agree the assets, covered functions, accounts, testing window, request limits, and permitted techniques. Sign the scope and rules of engagement.

02

Assess and validate

Use applicable OWASP Web Security Testing Guide checks and manual review. Collect minimal evidence of impact and report critical findings promptly.

03

Explain the risk

Receive an executive summary and technical report with severity rationale, evidence, reproduction steps, coverage gaps, and recommended fixes.

04

Verify the remediation

Review the results in a walkthrough, make your fixes, and request the included retest within 30 days.

YOUR DELIVERABLE

A report you
can act on.

Clear priorities for the business. Reproducible details for the people implementing the fixes.

Define your engagement
  • Executive summary and risk priorities
  • Scope, methodology, and coverage limitations
  • Validated findings and supporting evidence
  • Reproduction steps and remediation guidance
  • One report walkthrough and included retest

03 / SCOPE & TRUST

Agreed boundaries.
No surprises.

Each engagement is quoted for its functions, roles, integrations, complexity, and testing effort.

A starting point

One application in one environment with two named hostnames. Optional deeper coverage may include one API with around 20 endpoints and two user roles with four test accounts.

These are planning estimates. The signed scope defines the actual coverage; subdomains and redirects are not automatically included.

Authorization is essential

Only a party entitled to authorize the named assets can approve testing. Provider permissions are obtained where needed.

Higher-impact techniques require explicit written approval. Testing stops if instability or unexpected sensitive data is encountered.

What's outside the launch service

Internal networks, source-code review, social engineering, physical testing, denial of service, stress testing, persistence, bulk data extraction, and implementing fixes.

Third-party systems are excluded unless separately authorized. An assessment is a point-in-time review, not a guarantee that every vulnerability will be found.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Before we begin.

Is this just an automated scan?

No. Suitable tools support the assessment, while manual validation helps establish which findings are credible and what they mean. Deeper business-logic and access-control testing belongs in the agreed pentest scope.

Can you test a live production website?

The environment and techniques are agreed before work begins. Production testing uses the approved limits and stop conditions. A suitable staging environment may be preferred for checks that change application state.

Do I need to provide user accounts?

External assessments do not include login coverage. Authenticated testing requires agreed test accounts, roles, and test data; same-role accounts help validate access boundaries between users.

What determines the price?

The application size, covered workflows, APIs, user roles, integrations, environment, and required testing depth. A quote follows scoping; there is no universal price per website.

How is evidence handled?

Evidence is minimized, redacted, and transferred securely. Unless otherwise agreed, retained evidence is deleted 30 days after the retest window closes or the included retest is completed, whichever is later.

Does this certify compliance?

No. The launch service provides a scoped security assessment and remediation guidance. It does not issue compliance certification or promise an application is completely secure.

START WITH THE SCOPE

What should
we assess?

Outline the application and the coverage you need. Do not include passwords, tokens, or sensitive client data.
