Application and
network testing.
Make security decisions with a clearer picture of the risks.
You may need to decide whether a release needs more security work, where to tighten network access or which improvements deserve a limited budget. We investigate the weaknesses that could affect those decisions and explain their practical significance. The areas below show what an assessment can cover; we agree the focus around your systems and concerns.
01 / Application
Test what users
should not be able to do.
A successful user journey does not tell you whether someone can access another customer’s data or bypass an important business rule. We investigate those gaps in the application and interfaces in scope, helping you identify risks that ordinary functional testing can miss and give your developers a focused starting point for improvements.
What we examine
- Login and sessions. How login, account recovery and sessions work, including whether access ends when it should.
- Authorization. Whether users can reach data or actions beyond their role, including other users' accounts.
- Input and workflows. How the application handles unexpected input, and whether business rules can be bypassed.
- Information handling. Whether responses, error messages or configuration give away information they should not.
When it helps
Before a major release, after changes to login or user roles, or when you need to know how well the application protects sensitive data and important workflows.
What you receive
Findings your developers can trace to the affected features and user roles, with evidence, reproduction details where testing permits and practical recommendations. The report explains the potential impact so technical fixes can be considered alongside release priorities and business needs.
What shapes the scope
How many applications and interfaces are involved, how many roles and workflows, which test accounts and environments are available, and whether any actions must be avoided because they could affect data or disrupt the application.
02 / Network
Find out what your
network exposes.
Understand what someone could reach from the internet, or what access they might gain from a position inside your network. We investigate agreed hosts and services to help you distinguish exposure that needs attention from the noise of general vulnerability warnings. The starting point follows the concern you want to examine.
What we examine
- Reachable services. What the targets expose from the test's starting point.
- Configuration. Service settings, authentication controls and exposure that may be unnecessary.
- Known vulnerabilities. Weaknesses in exposed software and versions, identified with tools and manual checks and investigated to see whether they actually apply to your systems.
- Access boundaries. Whether reachable systems or network segmentation allow access they should not, where that is part of the scope.
When it helps
When reviewing internet-facing systems, changing network access or segmentation, or finding out what someone inside your network could reach.
What you receive
A practical basis for planning network improvements: affected hosts and services, the access a weakness depends on and recommendations for the people who run those systems. Evidence and testing limitations make clear what supports each finding, so your team can weigh the work against the risk.
What shapes the scope
Address ranges and host counts, the variety of services, whether testing starts outside or inside the network, the credentials or connectivity needed, operational restrictions, and whether any of the systems are hosted or run by a third party.
03 / Discussing scope
Tell us what you have in mind.
You do not need a finished technical brief. A short description of the systems and the question you want answered is enough to start; we work out the rest together.
Information that helps
- Applications, URLs, interfaces or network ranges you want tested.
- Important user roles, sensitive data and business workflows.
- Your main concerns, recent changes and deadlines.
- Who owns the systems, what access is available and whether any third party needs to give permission.
- Whether testing happens in production or a test environment, what to exclude and what could disrupt operations.
Agree what the test will cover
Depth and coverage follow from the systems, access and time we agree. The report records what was included and how it was tested, so findings are read against what we actually covered and not mistaken for a review of systems we never touched.
If you want us to retest after fixes, we can include that when agreeing the scope.
