Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is application-level security testing and why is it important?
Application-level security testing evaluates web applications, mobile apps, and APIs for security vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers to steal data, compromise systems, or disrupt operations. It’s critical because applications are frequent attack targets, with 43% of data breaches involving web application vulnerabilities. Regular security testing identifies and eliminates vulnerabilities before deployment, preventing costly breaches, protecting customer data, maintaining compliance, and preserving business reputation.
How long does application security testing typically take?
Testing duration depends on application size and complexity. Simple web applications with limited functionality require 3-5 days, medium-complexity applications with authentication and database integration need 1-2 weeks, and complex enterprise applications with extensive functionality may require 3-4 weeks. Mobile applications typically take 1-2 weeks per platform. API testing ranges from 3-7 days depending on endpoint count. We provide detailed timelines during scoping based on application scope and testing depth requirements.
What's the difference between automated scanning and penetration testing?
Automated scanning uses software tools to quickly identify known vulnerabilities across large application surfaces, providing broad coverage and efficiency. Penetration testing involves security experts manually testing applications, exploiting vulnerabilities, chaining attacks, testing business logic, and validating real-world exploitability. Automated scanning finds 40-60% of vulnerabilities, while manual penetration testing uncovers complex flaws, logic vulnerabilities, and chained exploits that tools miss. We recommend combining both approaches for comprehensive security validation.
Will security testing disrupt our application or impact users?
We minimize disruption through careful planning and controlled testing. Testing is typically performed in staging or development environments identical to production. When production testing is necessary, we schedule testing during low-traffic periods, use rate limiting to prevent performance impact, and coordinate closely with your team. Most testing activities are non-destructive and invisible to users. We never perform denial-of-service testing or actions that could disrupt services without explicit approval.
What vulnerabilities do you test for during security assessments?
We test for all OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities including injection flaws (SQL, command, LDAP), broken authentication and session management, sensitive data exposure, XML external entities, broken access control, security misconfigurations, cross-site scripting (XSS), insecure deserialization, using components with known vulnerabilities, and insufficient logging. We also test for business logic flaws, authorization bypass, cryptographic weaknesses, API vulnerabilities, and application-specific security issues based on technology stack and functionality.
How do you prioritize vulnerabilities in your findings?
We use a risk-based approach considering vulnerability severity (CVSS scoring), exploitability, business impact, data sensitivity, and existing security controls. Critical vulnerabilities include SQL injection exposing databases, authentication bypass allowing account takeover, sensitive data exposure, remote code execution, and direct object reference vulnerabilities accessing unauthorized data. Each finding receives a risk rating (Critical, High, Medium, Low, Informational) with exploitation difficulty, impact description, and prioritized remediation guidance.
Can you test applications still in development?
Absolutely. Early security testing is highly effective and cost-efficient. We integrate security testing throughout the software development lifecycle including design phase threat modeling, code review during development, security testing in staging environments, and pre-deployment validation. Early vulnerability detection costs 10-100x less to fix than post-deployment remediation. We work closely with development teams, providing security guidance, secure coding training, and continuous feedback that builds security into applications from the start.
Do you provide remediation support after identifying vulnerabilities?
Yes, comprehensive remediation support is available. While testing and remediation are separate services, we provide detailed remediation guidance including vulnerable code examples, secure coding alternatives, framework-specific fixes, and validation steps. Many clients engage us for remediation assistance including secure code review, security control implementation, developer training, and validation testing. We remain available for questions during remediation and provide complimentary re-testing to verify fixes effectively address identified vulnerabilities.
How often should we conduct application security testing?
Testing frequency depends on development velocity and risk tolerance. We recommend comprehensive penetration testing annually for production applications, security testing for major releases or significant functionality changes, quarterly automated vulnerability scanning for continuous monitoring, and continuous security testing integrated into CI/CD pipelines for DevSecOps environments. Applications handling sensitive data, financial transactions, or healthcare information should consider more frequent testing and continuous vulnerability monitoring.
What compliance requirements does application security testing address?
Application security testing supports numerous compliance requirements including PCI DSS requirement 6.6 for web application security, HIPAA Security Rule technical safeguards, SOC 2 security criteria for vulnerability management, GDPR security measures for data protection, HITRUST application security controls, and state privacy laws requiring reasonable security measures. Our testing reports provide compliance evidence, document security controls, identify gaps, and demonstrate due diligence in protecting sensitive data and systems.
