VAPT
Application/Product Security (VAPT)
Manual and automated security testing of your web applications, APIs, and products across the SDLC - before release and on an ongoing basis.
What It Is
HexGuard tests your applications the way a real attacker would - combining automated scanning with manual business-logic and access-control testing that tools alone can't find, across web apps, APIs, and connected mobile clients.
Who It's For
- Product and engineering teams shipping web applications, APIs, or SaaS products
- Companies required to provide a penetration test report to enterprise customers
- Teams releasing major new features who want a pre-launch security check
Our Methodology
-
Threat Modeling & Scoping
Understand the application architecture, authentication model, and data sensitivity to focus testing effort.
-
Automated Scanning
Baseline scanning for common vulnerability classes across the OWASP Top 10 and OWASP API Top 10.
-
Manual Testing
Business-logic abuse cases, authentication/authorization flaws, injection, and access control testing that automated tools miss.
-
API & Integration Testing
Testing of REST/GraphQL APIs, third-party integrations, and mobile app backends where in scope.
-
Reporting & Fix Verification
Deliver findings with proof-of-concept detail and retest fixes.
Deliverables
- Detailed technical report mapped to the OWASP Top 10 and OWASP API Top 10
- Proof-of-concept evidence for each finding
- Developer-facing remediation guidance
- One retest cycle for critical/high findings
Engagement Model
Application assessments typically run 1-4 weeks depending on application size and the number of user roles/APIs in scope.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you test mobile apps as well as web apps?
Yes - where the mobile app talks to APIs in scope, we include client-side and API-level testing.
Can you test in a staging environment instead of production?
Yes, and it's usually preferred; we agree the target environment during scoping.
Do you provide a letter/certificate we can share with customers?
Yes, we provide an executive summary and attestation letter suitable for sharing with your customers or auditors.
