Go beyond the scan.
Real red-teamers. Real findings.

Experienced security engineers simulate real-world attacks and review the source code behind your highest-risk features to uncover deep business-logic and code-level flaws automated tools miss. Every report ships with dev-ready remediation and every finding is human-verified with proof-of-exploit.

Human testers verify and chain findings, with OnScanner automation for breadth.
overview

Web application penetration testing, done by humans.

A penetration test is a manual, time-boxed security assessment where an experienced tester attacks your application the way a real attacker would. Unlike an automated vulnerability scan, a pentest chains individual weaknesses together, authentication gaps, broken access control, and business-logic flaws, to prove genuine, exploitable impact. That is the depth automated scanners cannot reach, and it is what your customers and auditors want to see.

We test the full modern stack: web application penetration testing for single-page and server-rendered apps, API penetration testing across REST and GraphQL, external and internal network penetration testing, and mobile app assessments. Every engagement is scoped to your environment and risk, and priced per engagement, no surprise add-ons.

When you can share source access, we go deeper with manual secure code review. An experienced engineer reads the code behind your highest-risk features to catch vulnerabilities that are hard to trigger from the outside: injection sinks, unsafe deserialization, broken authorization logic, insecure cryptography, and hardcoded secrets. Dynamic testing shows what an attacker can reach; code review shows the root cause and every other place the same mistake repeats. Scope it as a grey-box or full white-box engagement.

engagement

A five-phase engagement.

01

Scoping & threat model

Asset inventory, rules of engagement, attack-surface mapping. Mutual NDA before any artifact is shared.

02

Active exploitation

Operators chain findings auth, authorization, business logic simulating real-world adversaries. Where source is shared, they also review the code behind high-risk paths.

03

Evidence & chain

Every critical finding is reproducible with signed proof-of-exploit. Only verified, high-confidence issues reach your inbox.

04

Report & remediation

Executive summary, technical body, line-by-line remediation ready to ship in one sprint.

05

Retest & sign-off

Fixes verified before the report is stamped closed. Included in every engagement.

deliverables

What you get.

Every engagement produces the same set of artifacts so your customers, auditors, and engineering teams all get what they need from a single pentest.

  • Executive summary for leadership
  • Technical findings with CVSS + CWE
  • Proof-of-exploit for every critical
  • Line-by-line remediation guidance
  • Code-level findings with file and line references (white-box)
  • Retest report + remediation letter
  • Attestation letter for customers
questions

Penetration testing FAQ.

How much does a penetration test cost?

Penetration testing is priced per engagement based on scope, the size and complexity of the application, and the depth of testing required. A focused web application or API test is typically a few days of effort; a broad, multi-target engagement is larger. You get a fixed quote before any work starts, with the retest included, so there are no surprise costs. Share your scope and we'll turn around a quote quickly.

Do I need a penetration test for SOC 2 or ISO 27001?

A penetration test is not strictly mandatory for a SOC 2 report, but most auditors and enterprise customers now expect one as evidence that your security controls work in practice. ISO 27001 likewise expects technical testing of controls. Our report is built to satisfy both your engineers and your auditor, and because we also offer compliance consulting, the pentest evidence maps directly to your controls.

Do you offer secure code review?

Yes. Alongside black-box and authenticated testing, we offer manual secure code review when you can share source access. An experienced engineer reads the code behind your highest-risk features to find vulnerabilities that are hard to trigger from the outside, such as injection sinks, unsafe deserialization, broken authorization logic, insecure cryptography, and hardcoded secrets. Pairing code review with dynamic testing, as a grey-box or white-box engagement, gives the deepest coverage and pinpoints the root cause, not just the symptom. It is scoped as part of your quote.

What's the difference between a scan and a penetration test?

An automated scan (like OnScanner) is fast and broad and finds known issues continuously. A penetration test is a manual engagement where a human tester chains weaknesses together to demonstrate real, exploitable impact, including the business-logic flaws scanners cannot detect. Most teams run both: automation for breadth between tests, manual pentesting for depth. We deliver them as a single program.

What do I receive at the end?

You receive an executive summary for leadership, a technical report with CVSS and CWE scoring and proof-of-exploit for every critical finding, line-by-line remediation guidance your developers can act on, and an attestation letter to share with customers. After you fix the issues we retest and issue a remediation letter, at no extra cost.
