OWASP ASVS Manual Testing 72h Report

What We Test

Manual Testing Where Automation Stops.

Automated scanners find the obvious. Our certified engineers find the business logic flaws, chained exploit paths, and authorization bypasses that scanners never will.

We combine black box, grey box, and white box techniques to match the right methodology to your application type, risk tolerance, and development stage.

bug_report

Penetration Testing

Simulated real-world attacks using the same tools and techniques threat actors use, revealing exploitable vulnerabilities before they are discovered maliciously.

code

Secure Code Review

Line-by-line review of authentication, authorization, input handling, and data storage logic to identify security flaws that automated scanners consistently miss.

api

API Security Testing

End-to-end testing of REST, GraphQL, and SOAP APIs including authentication, rate limiting, data exposure, and business logic vulnerabilities at every endpoint.

architecture

Security Architecture Review

Strategic review of authentication flow, session management, third-party integrations, and data handling architecture to identify structural weaknesses before they are built in.

The Manual Testing Difference

What Automated Scanners Will Never Find.

Automated tools are fast and repeatable. They are also blind to the vulnerabilities that cause the most serious breaches. Manual testing by certified engineers fills that gap.

70%

Of Critical Vulnerabilities Need Manual Discovery

OWASP research consistently shows that approximately 70% of critical and high-severity web application vulnerabilities require human analysis to discover. Scanners catch the rest.

100%

Of Business Logic Flaws Are Missed by Automation

No scanner can understand your application's intended behavior. Business logic flaws, price manipulation, workflow bypasses, and multi-step exploit chains require a human tester who thinks like an attacker.

More Findings in Manual Assessments vs Automated Scans

Our engagements consistently surface three times as many exploitable findings as automated scans of the same application. The gap is widest in authentication, authorization, and API security.

What Automated Scanners Miss

✕Business logic flaws and workflow abuse
✕Insecure direct object reference (IDOR) vulnerabilities
✕Authentication bypass via chained exploits
✕Privilege escalation through role boundary abuse
✕GraphQL introspection and batch query abuse
✕Race conditions and time-of-check vulnerabilities

FAQ

Application Security Questions Answered.

A penetration test simulates an attacker interacting with your running application from the outside, finding exploitable vulnerabilities in the live system. A secure code review examines the source code directly, catching logic flaws, insecure patterns, and vulnerabilities that may not yet be triggered at runtime. Both provide different coverage and most mature security programs use both together.

Not for a black box penetration test. We can test your application exactly as an attacker would, with no access to code or internal systems. For a grey box or white box test, or for a secure code review, we would request read-only repository access. All access is covered by a confidentiality agreement before any engagement begins.

Black box simulates an external attacker with no prior knowledge. Grey box provides partial context (like a logged-in user or API documentation) for more efficient coverage. White box gives full access to code and architecture for the most thorough review. We discuss your goals and risk tolerance during scoping and recommend the right methodology, or a combination, for your specific situation.

We default to non-destructive testing techniques that do not cause data loss, crashes, or service interruption. Any intensive exploit attempts are scoped in advance and only run in staging environments or during agreed windows. We have never caused a production outage. If you prefer, we can conduct the entire assessment against a staging or QA environment.

A focused App Audit on a single application typically takes 3 to 5 business days of testing followed by the 72-hour report turnaround. A Security Pro engagement covering multiple applications or including a full OWASP ASVS assessment is typically 7 to 14 days. Enterprise programs are scoped individually. We discuss timelines during the scoping call and commit to a delivery date before work begins.

A detailed PDF covering every finding with a severity rating (Critical, High, Medium, Low), CVSS score, plain-English description of the risk, proof-of-concept evidence demonstrating exploitability, and exact remediation steps your developers can act on. An executive summary covers the overall risk posture. Critical findings are always communicated immediately rather than held for the report.

At minimum, annually and after any major feature release or architectural change. Applications processing payments or sensitive personal data should assess quarterly. Organizations pursuing SOC 2 Type II or PCI DSS certification typically require assessments on a defined cadence. Our Enterprise Program includes ongoing quarterly assessments with a dedicated engineer who tracks your security posture over time.
