Find it before someone else does.
A test that produces a scanner report is not a test. We attempt real attacks against your application and show you what actually worked.
We attempt to break into your web application or API the way an attacker would, then report what worked, how serious it is, and how to fix it. One to three weeks. We retest the fixes afterwards at no extra cost.

A scanner cannot find what is missing.
The most serious findings are usually an absent check, not bad code.
An automated scan is not a penetration test, though plenty are sold as one.
Scanners find known patterns. They do not notice that changing one number in a URL shows you another customer's invoice, or that the password reset can be aimed at someone else's account. Those are the findings that matter, and they need a person.
So a real test is mostly manual, aimed at your business logic as much as your libraries. The valuable findings are usually specific to how your application works rather than to what it was built with.
And the report has to be usable. Fifty findings ranked by a generic severity score is not a plan. What you need is: fix these three this week, these five this quarter, and here is why the rest can wait.
What we test.
Authentication and sessions
Login, reset, tokens, timeout. Where the most damaging findings usually sit.
Access control
Can one user reach another's data by changing a value. Consistently the most common serious flaw.
Business logic
Discounts applied twice, negative quantities, skipping a step. Scanners never find these.
Injection and input handling
SQL, command, template. Better than it used to be, still worth verifying.
APIs specifically
Often less protected than the web interface, and increasingly the way in.
File upload and storage
What can be uploaded, where it lands, and who can read it afterwards.
Configuration
Exposed admin panels, default credentials, verbose errors, storage left public.
A retest after you fix
Included. A report you cannot verify against is only half the work.
Scan, test, or audit.
All three get called penetration testing. They cost and deliver very differently.
| Automated scan | Penetration test | Full audit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Finds known vulnerabilities | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Finds business logic flaws | No | Yes — the valuable part | Yes |
| Chains small issues together | No | Yes | Yes |
| Reviews source code | No | Sometimes | Yes |
| False positives | Many | Few — verified by hand | Few |
| Typical duration | Hours | 1–3 weeks | 3–6 weeks |
| Right for | Continuous checking | Before launch, or annually | Regulated, or pre-acquisition |
How we work.
Written scope and permission before anything starts. No exceptions.
Business logic flaws are where the damage is, and no scanner finds them.
Confirming your fixes worked is part of the engagement, not an extra.
When to test.
Before a launch
Especially anything handling payments or personal data.
A customer or regulator asked
Increasingly common in enterprise sales, and non-negotiable in some sectors.
After a significant change
New payment flow, new authentication, a major rewrite.
Not instead of fixing what you know
If you already have a list of unpatched issues, fix those first. A test will just find them again.
How we work.
We agree scope in writing
What is in, what is out, and when. Testing without written authorisation is not something we do.
We map the application
Every entry point, every role, every place data moves.
We test by hand
Scanners run in the background. The findings that matter come from a person trying things.
We verify everything
Each finding reproduced and confirmed. Nobody should spend a week on a false positive.
We rank by real risk
What an attacker could actually do here, not a generic score. Three urgent beats fifty listed.
We retest after you fix
Included. Confirming the fix is part of the job, not an upsell.
Frequently asked.

A scanner checks for known patterns and produces a long list with many false positives. A penetration test is mostly a person trying to break your specific application — which is how business logic flaws get found, and those are usually the serious ones. If a quote sounds cheap and fast, you are probably buying a scan with a report cover on it.
