We specialize in protecting your web application through comprehensive web application penetration testing. This process simulates real-world cyberattacks to identify and fix vulnerabilities before they exploit. Web application pentest is key to ensure security of your online presence. At CyberCovert, we deliver expert web application penetration testing to keep your business safe by identifying vulnerabilities and providing actionable insights to strengthen your security posture against data breach.
Why proceed for a web application penetration testing?
Approximately 30,000 websites are hacked every day globally, often due to vulnerabilities in outdated software, weak passwords, or misconfigurations. These breaches can lead to data theft, defacement, or unauthorized access, affecting businesses of all sizes.
Web Application Penetration Testing is essential to proactively identify and remediate these vulnerabilities before attackers can exploit them. By simulating real-world attack scenarios, organizations can strengthen their web applications’ security posture, protect sensitive data, and maintain customer trust.
Public-facing applications and services are primary entry points. These enttry point are often contain misconfigurations, outdated components, and vulnerable functionality.
Standard user accounts expand the internal attack surface. They reveal internal app function and behaviors, directory structures, and lateral movement opportunities.
Admin interfaces and privileges increase attack depth. These roles expose configuration panels, internal tools, and elevated operations that attackers seek to abuse.
Super admin portals expose the deepest layers of the environment. These surfaces allow attackers to manipulate core systems, access sensitive data, and establish long-term control.
We blend thorough reconnaissance, precision exploitation, and actionable reporting to fortify your web applications against real‑world threats.
Every web penetration testing begins with careful planning. This includes defining the scope, setting clear objectives, and understanding the systems to be tested. During this stage, we collect relevant information about the target web application to ensure a focused and effective assessment.
Once preparation is complete, we analyze the web application for potential weaknesses. Using a combination of automated tools and manual techniques, we identify vulnerabilities and, where appropriate, safely test how they might be exploited. This helps us understand the real-world risks facing the system.
Once the web penetration testing finishes, we deliver a detailed report outlining the findings, their potential impact, their POC, and clear recommendations for fixing them. We also offer support during the remediation process and can retest to ensure that all issues have been properly addressed.

Web application penetration testing is a series of cyber attack performed by skilled security professionals who attempt to exploit vulnerabilities in your web applications—such as SQL injection, cross‑site scripting, or authentication flaws—to assess how an attacker could compromise your data or systems.
With cyber threats constantly evolving, regular pentests help organizations identify and remediate security gaps before adversaries exploit them, reducing the risk of data breaches and ensuring compliance with standards such as PCI DSS Requirement 11.3.
Industry best practices recommend at least annual tests—or more frequently after major updates—so you maintain an up‑to‑date security posture; high‑risk or regulated environments may require quarterly or continuous testing.
Penetration testing typically follow standardized frameworks—such as the OWASP Web Security Testing Guide (WSTG) or the Penetration Testing Execution Standard (PTES)—which outline phases from pre‑engagement and reconnaissance through exploitation and reporting.
Testing focuses on the OWASP Top 10 (e.g., injection, broken authentication, sensitive data exposure) plus business‑logic flaws, misconfigurations, and zero‑day risks, ensuring a broad evaluation of both well‑known and complex attack vectors.
Engagements can be black‑box (no prior access), gray‑box (limited access), or white‑box (full access), each offering different depth and perspectives on your application’s security.
Effective preparation includes defining objectives and compliance requirements, providing network diagrams and authentication details, and securing a testing window to minimize business disruption while maximizing test coverage.
Clients usually supply target URLs, user roles, authentication credentials (for gray‑box or white‑box tests), and any relevant architecture documentation to help pentesters craft realistic attack scenarios.
A standard small‑scale engagement (one application, limited functionality) often takes 1–2 weeks, whereas complex, multi‑application environments may require 4–6 weeks to complete all phases thoroughly.
Costs vary by scope, complexity, and tester’s expertise; small‑scale tests can start around $500, while extensive enterprise assessments often starts from $10,000 price reflects hours invested in discovery, exploitation, and comprehensive reporting.
You’ll get an executive summary for stakeholders, a technical report detailing each finding with risk ratings and remediation guidance, plus proof‑of‑concept evidence (screenshots/logs) and retest options to confirm fixes.
Post‑test, use the report’s prioritized remediation plan to patch vulnerabilities, then schedule retests to verify fixes; integrate lessons learned into your SDLC for continuous security improvement.
