Web Application Penetration Testing
Manual and automated testing of web applications and APIs against OWASP Top 10 and business-specific threat models.
- OWASP Top 10
- Business logic testing
- API security testing
DATA & CLOUD / SYSTEM NODECybersecurity
Security built in — not bolted on at the end.
We conduct security assessments, review architecture for vulnerabilities, and help engineering teams implement the controls that reduce real risk — without theatre.
Ownership, deployment boundary, acceptance criteria, and handover are defined per engagement.

WHAT WE BUILD
Cybersecurity, engineered as an operating system.
Scope follows the real workflow, environment, failure modes, and ownership model rather than a fixed vendor package.
Cloud Security Assessment
Review of AWS and GCP configurations — IAM policies, network exposure, storage permissions, logging gaps, and security-control posture.
- IAM policy review
- Network exposure audit
- Control gap report
Security Architecture Review
Structured review of your system architecture to identify design-level vulnerabilities before they are built into production.
- Threat modelling
- Design-level findings
- Remediation roadmap
DevSecOps Implementation
Integrating security into your CI/CD pipeline — SAST, DAST, dependency scanning, and secret detection built into every deployment.
- SAST / DAST in CI/CD
- Dependency scanning
- Secret detection
Security Training for Engineers
Practical security training for engineering teams — covering OWASP vulnerabilities, secure coding patterns, and common implementation mistakes.
- OWASP coverage
- Hands-on exercises
- Code review techniques
DELIVERY SEQUENCE
From unknowns to production evidence.
01
Scope Definition
Define the assessment scope — in-scope assets, testing rules of engagement, excluded systems, and success criteria — before any testing begins.
Asset List Scope Agreement02
Reconnaissance
Map the attack surface — exposed services, subdomains, technology fingerprinting, and publicly available information that an attacker would use.
Scope Agreement Attack Surface Map03
Vulnerability Scan
Automated scanning of web applications, APIs, and infrastructure using industry-standard tools. Results are triaged to remove false positives before reporting.
Attack Surface Scan Results04
Manual Testing
Expert manual testing of business logic flaws, authentication bypasses, privilege escalation paths, and other vulnerabilities that automated tools miss.
Scan Results Findings05
Report & Prioritise
Findings reported with CVSS scores, business impact assessment, and prioritised remediation roadmap — written for both technical and non-technical audiences.
Findings Security Report06
Remediate & Verify
Verify that findings have been correctly remediated through targeted retesting. Deliver a remediation verification summary for issues confirmed fixed.

TECHNICAL FAQ
Questions worth resolving before delivery.
01What is the difference between a vulnerability scan and a penetration test?+
A vulnerability scan uses automated tools to identify known issues. A penetration test includes manual expert analysis to find business logic flaws, chained vulnerabilities, and issues that automated tools cannot detect. We always recommend including manual testing for any production system.
02Do you provide a remediation report?+
Yes. Every finding includes a clear description, CVSS score, business impact assessment, and specific remediation guidance. We also provide a retest to verify that fixes have been correctly implemented.
03Can you work within our existing compliance programme?+
Yes. We can work within client-defined security and compliance requirements and support the technical controls, evidence, and remediation work your programme requires. OSYSTIC does not represent this work as certification or legal compliance advice.
04How do you handle sensitive findings?+
All findings are communicated through agreed secure channels. We do not retain copies of sensitive data discovered during testing beyond the agreed assessment period.
