Application security testing

Find application weaknesses before attackers do and before they reach production.

SAST, DAST, API, and mobile application security testing that combines automated analysis with manual validation, business-logic testing, and practical remediation guidance.

Testing coverage

For teams building, releasing, or assuring critical applications.

Dynamic application security testing (DAST)
Static application security testing (SAST)
API security testing
Mobile application security testing

We combine tooling with manual expertise so your team receives validated risk, not an unfiltered scanner report.

Testing coverage

Application security assurance across code, running systems, APIs, and mobile apps.

Select the testing methods that fit your architecture, development stage, assurance requirement, and release risk.

Dynamic application security testing (DAST)

Test running applications for exploitable weaknesses across authentication, authorisation, sessions, input handling, and business logic.

Static application security testing (SAST)

Review source code and automated analysis results to validate meaningful weaknesses and reduce false-positive noise.

API security testing

Assess endpoints, authentication, object-level authorisation, data exposure, rate limits, and abuse cases.

Mobile application security testing

Test iOS and Android applications, local storage, platform controls, communications, APIs, and reverse-engineering exposure.

Service rhythm

Tool-assisted coverage, strengthened by manual validation.

Application security testing is most useful when automated analysis, access-control testing, business logic, and human judgement work together.

Confirm the application architecture, release context, access, test coverage, and rules of engagement.
Combine automated analysis with manual testing of exploitable weaknesses, access controls, and business logic.
Validate findings, remove false positives, and prioritise risk in the context of the application and its users.
Provide developer-focused remediation guidance, a findings walkthrough, and optional retesting after fixes.

How testing works

A clear route from scope to verified fixes.

The engagement is designed to give security and development teams useful coverage, validated findings, and a practical remediation path.

  1. 01

    Confirm the application architecture, release context, access, test coverage, and rules of engagement.

  2. 02

    Combine automated analysis with manual testing of exploitable weaknesses, access controls, and business logic.

  3. 03

    Validate findings, remove false positives, and prioritise risk in the context of the application and its users.

  4. 04

    Provide developer-focused remediation guidance, a findings walkthrough, and optional retesting after fixes.

What you receive

Findings your developers can understand and fix.

Results are validated, prioritised, and supported with the evidence and context needed to move remediation forward.

  • Validated findings with technical evidence and risk context
  • Coverage across the agreed SAST, DAST, API, or mobile scope
  • Developer-focused remediation guidance and findings walkthrough
  • Optional retest and closure status after fixes are applied

Outcomes

Application assurance that supports safer releases.

The goal is to expose meaningful risk, help teams fix it, and strengthen the evidence around application security decisions.

Find exploitable application and business-logic weaknesses
Reduce false-positive noise from automated security tools
Give developers clear, prioritised remediation guidance
Strengthen release, customer, and compliance assurance

Service plans

Need ongoing support?

Scheduled application security testing can be included in Growth and Advanced plans where recurring SAST, DAST, API, mobile, or release assurance work is needed.

Need application assurance before launch or release?

Tell us about the application, architecture, release stage, and assurance requirement. We will help define the right mix of SAST, DAST, API, mobile, and manual testing.
