Testing Methodology
Initial Consultation
We start by understanding your specific industrial needs and objectives to tailor our testing approach accordingly.
Planning and Scoping
We then define the scope of the testing, including target systems, testing methods, and objectives to ensure comprehensive coverage.
Reconnaissance
Collecting information about the web application to identify potential entry points and weaknesses. This phase is performed in production application because of its digital presence.
Vulnerability Analysis
Using advance commercial and open-source tools and techniques to detect vulnerabilities in the web application.
Exploitation
Exploiting identified vulnerabilities to eliminate false positive results and confirm the vulnerability with proof of concept (POC).
Post Exploitation
Determining the extent of the compromise that may take place if vulnerability is exploited and gather further data to understand the full impact of the vulnerabilities.
Reporting
Communicating the findings of the Pen Test to the relevant teams in the form of VAPT report, providing insights to the risk, findings and recommendations from the security assessment.
Remediation Support
Providing guidance and support to fix identified vulnerabilities to re-validation in order to strengthen your security posture.
Testing Methodology
We start by understanding your specific industrial needs and objectives to tailor our testing approach accordingly.
