Web Application Penetration TestingThat Tells You What's Actually at Risk.

SecureLayer7's offensive security team tests your full web attack surface — from authentication flows to business logic — and gives you the evidence to prove it.

Research-driven testing. Audit-ready reports.

Web application penetration testing — Scope, Test, Exploit, Report

Full attack surface coverage

Authentication, business logic, API endpoints, session management, not just OWASP Top 10.

Working proof-of-exploit

Every finding includes a reproducible PoC and video, developer-ready, not just a CVSS score.

Re-test included

We verify your fixes at no extra cost. One engagement, closed-loop, not a revolving invoice.

Why now

Window from vulnerability discovery to exploitation has gone from weeks to hours.

Scope

Every attack surface. Not just OWASP Top 10.

Most pentests are a scanner with a human in front of it. Ours aren't. We test auth flows, business logic, API abuse, session management, and chained attack paths, the vulnerabilities that automated tools cannot find.

Authentication & Session

Login bypass, session fixation, token prediction, password reset flaws, MFA weaknesses.

Business Logic Flaws

Price manipulation, privilege escalation, workflow abuse, unique to your application.

API & GraphQL

REST and GraphQL endpoints, mass assignment, IDOR, broken object-level authorization. See the dedicated API pentest page for the full scope.

Injection & Execution

SQLi, XXE, SSTI, command injection, deserialization, tested manually with chained exploits.

Client-Side Attacks

XSS, CSRF, clickjacking, postMessage abuse, DOM-based vulnerabilities.

Infrastructure & Config

Exposed admin panels, misconfigured headers, verbose error messages, third-party components.

Accreditations

  • CREST accredited
  • CERT-In empanelled auditor
  • AICPA SOC 2 Type II
  • ISO/IEC 27001

BY THE NUMBERS.

The chain classes a generic web scan never reports.

200+
  1. 01
    Auth bypass to admin

    JWT alg none, signature stripped, kid header path-traversal, second-order role claim trusted on the resource server.

  2. 02
    Business-logic abuse

    Coupon stacking, negative-quantity orders, refund races, account merge that inherits the higher-tier permissions.

  3. 03
    File upload to RCE

    MIME-only check, polyglot file, path-traversal in the filename, write into a directory the application server executes from.

  4. 04
    SSTI to shell

    Jinja2 or Freemarker template fed user input, sandbox escape via __class__ chain, host process command execution.

  5. 05
    GraphQL introspection abuse

    Introspection on in production, alias-based query batching defeats rate limits, depth-recursion turns one request into a DoS.

  6. 06
    Session fixation chain

    Session id accepted in URL, no rotation on auth, OAuth callback that preserves the pre-login cookie. Anonymous to authenticated victim.

HOW WE PENTEST.

Every finding verified. Eight phases, closed-loop.

Threat-modeled to your application's user roles, data flows, and business logic. Not a template we run against every engagement.

01

Recon & enumeration

Map your real attack surface: subdomains, exposed endpoints, tech stack, third-party integrations, and anything a motivated attacker would find before engaging.

02

Scope & threat-model

Build a threat model specific to your application, not a generic checklist. High-value targets, user roles, and probable attacker paths defined before a single test runs.

03

Static analysis

Client-side code, JavaScript bundles, and API schemas reviewed for logic leaks, hardcoded secrets, and insecure patterns that dynamic testing alone won't surface.

04

Active testing

Against your running application: authentication bypass, session hijacking, input fuzzing, and flow abuse that requires a human attacker, not a scanner.

05

App & API analysis

Every REST and GraphQL endpoint tested for IDOR, mass assignment, broken object-level auth, rate-limiting gaps, and injection. Chained exploit scenarios, not isolated CVEs.

06

Vulnerability analysis

Findings correlated, chained into real exploit paths, assigned CVSS scores with business impact context. Your team knows what to fix first and why.

07

Remediation guidance

Written for developers, not auditors. Code-level fix examples, library recommendations, and config changes. Not a list of CWEs to Google.

08

Patch verification

Every finding re-tested after your team ships fixes, at no extra cost. You get written confirmation each vulnerability is resolved, not just closed on a spreadsheet.

BugDazz, Continuous Penetration Testing Platform

No spreadsheets. No status emails. BugDazz handles the admin.

Every finding lands in your Jira, Slack, or ServiceNow the moment it is confirmed. Re-tests are tracked automatically. Your team spends time fixing, not chasing the consultant.

Findings flow into your tools

Every confirmed vulnerability lands in Jira, Slack, or ServiceNow the moment it's flagged, no waiting for an end-of-engagement PDF.

Re-tests tracked automatically

When your team marks a fix as shipped, BugDazz queues the re-test automatically. No back-and-forth. No missed verifications. Every fix gets confirmed before the engagement closes.

Written sign-off on every fix

Every remediated finding gets tester sign-off. Your auditor sees reported → fixed → verified, not just a closed ticket.

Connects to your existing stack

Jira, Slack, ServiceNow, GitHub, PagerDuty, Confluence, BugDazz integrates where your team already works. No new tools to adopt.

Deliverables

A report your auditor accepts. Your developers can act on.

Every finding is complete, working proof-of-exploit, code-level fix guidance, and a re-test to confirm the patch. The report itself is CREST-accredited and accepted by SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, and HIPAA auditors. Hand it to your auditor without a second round of questions.

CREST-accredited. Accepted by:

  • AICPA SOC 2
  • ISO/IEC 27001
  • PCI DSS
  • HIPAA

Reproducible PoC + Video

Every finding ships with a working exploit and screen recording. Your developers see exactly what an attacker sees, no guesswork, no chasing us for clarification.

Code-Level Fix Guidance

Remediation written for engineers, not auditors. Specific code changes, library recommendations, and config fixes, not a list of CWEs to Google.

Re-test Included

Every finding is re-tested once your team ships the fix, at no extra cost. One engagement, closed loop. You get written confirmation, not just a closed ticket.

Compliance-Ready Report

CREST-accredited report accepted by SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, and HIPAA auditors out of the box. No re-scoping, no addenda, no extra calls with your audit team.

AI in our engagements

Where AI runs. Where a human signs.

AI accelerates recon, surface mapping, and report drafting. CREST-accredited researchers chain the exploit and sign every finding. We publish the handoff per phase so your auditor can read it.
