Is Your Web Application Secure Enough for Real Customers?

Most web applications go live with security gaps nobody checked for. A feature works, so it ships, but working and secure are not the same thing.

A security audit is the right next step if:

• You store customer data, payments, or personal information

• An enterprise customer sent you a security questionnaire

• You're preparing for SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, or HIPAA readiness

• You're raising funding and investors will run technical due diligence

• Your app was built quickly, by freelancers, or with AI coding tools

• You've never had an independent security review

• You recently had a suspicious incident, breach attempt, or data leak

A web application security audit tells you where you're exposed, how serious each risk is, and what to fix first.

Common Vulnerabilities We Find in Web Applications

What Our Security Audit Covers

Built on Recognized Security Standards

Our assessment methodology is aligned with widely used industry frameworks:

• OWASP Top 10: the most critical web application security risks

• OWASP API Security Top 10: security risks specific to APIs

• OWASP ASVS: the Application Security Verification Standard, used for control-level checks

• CWE: a standard classification for every weakness we report

• CVSS: severity scoring, so findings are prioritized consistently

This gives you a report that security teams, auditors, and enterprise customers can recognize and trust.

Audit Approaches

Code-Level Security Review (White-Box)

We review your source code to find vulnerabilities at the root: access control logic, input handling, secrets, and dependencies.

Best for: finding root causes and getting exact fixes.

Running Application Assessment (Black-Box / Grey-Box)

With your written permission, we test the deployed application in a staging or agreed environment, the way a real attacker would.

Best for: confirming what is actually exploitable from the outside.

Combined Security Audit (Recommended)

Code review plus application testing. Findings from the code are confirmed against the running app, which cuts false positives and gives the most complete picture.

Best for: apps with paying customers, sensitive data, or compliance requirements.

Technologies We Audit

• Frontend: React · Next.js · Vue · Angular · Svelte

• Backend: Node.js · Python (Django, FastAPI, Flask) · PHP (Laravel) · Java (Spring) · .NET · Ruby on Rails · Go

• Databases: PostgreSQL · MySQL · MongoDB · Supabase · Firebase · Redis

How the Security Audit Works

1. Scoping Call

We learn about your application, users, data, and security concerns, then agree on the scope, testing approach, and environment.

2. NDA and Authorization

We sign an NDA and a written testing authorization before any access. No testing happens outside the agreed scope.

3. Assessment

Our engineers combine automated scanning with manual testing of authentication, authorization, business logic, APIs, and configuration. Automated tools alone miss the access-control flaws that cause most real breaches.

4. Validation

Every finding is manually verified to remove false positives. You only receive real, reproducible issues.

5. Report and Walkthrough

You receive a prioritized findings report and a walkthrough call with your team to explain the risks and plan the fixes.

6. Retest (Optional)

After you fix the issues, we verify each fix and issue an updated report showing the resolved status.

What You Receive

• Executive summary: overall security posture and top risks for leadership and non-technical stakeholders

• Findings report: every vulnerability with its CWE classification, CVSS-based severity, affected component, and evidence

• Reproduction steps: clear steps so your developers can confirm each issue

• Remediation guidance: specific fixes, with code-level recommendations where applicable

• Prioritized roadmap: what to fix immediately, this month, and later

• OWASP Top 10 coverage matrix: a mapping of what was tested against each OWASP category

• Walkthrough call: a findings session with your engineering team

Typical Security Audit Scenarios

These examples show common situations, the kinds of issues that typically surface, and how teams use the results.

Scenario 1: SaaS Company Facing an Enterprise Security Questionnaire

Stack: Next.js + Node.js + PostgreSQL on AWS · 

Audit: Combined Security Audit

Situation: A growing B2B SaaS closes in on its first enterprise deal. The buyer's procurement team sends a 200-question security questionnaire and asks for evidence of a recent independent security assessment.

Common findings:

• API endpoints that return other tenants' records when the organization ID is changed

• No rate limiting on login, which allows credential-stuffing attacks

• Missing security headers (CSP, HSTS) and overly permissive CORS

• An S3 bucket for customer uploads with public list permissions

What happens next: The team fixes the critical tenant-isolation issue and the storage exposure first, then completes a retest. They share the executive summary and retest confirmation with the enterprise buyer as evidence of independent security review.

Scenario 2: E-Commerce Platform After a Suspicious Incident

Stack: Laravel + MySQL + Stripe · 

Audit: Combined Security Audit

Situation: An online store notices unusual orders and several customers reporting account access they didn't recognize. The team doesn't know whether it's a one-off or a deeper vulnerability.

Common findings:

• Password reset tokens that never expire and can be reused

• Order history accessible by changing the order number in the URL

• An outdated framework version with a publicly known vulnerability

• No logging of failed logins or admin actions, so the incident can't be traced

What happens next: The store patches account takeover paths immediately, upgrades vulnerable dependencies, and adds security event logging and alerts. Future suspicious activity becomes visible within minutes instead of weeks.

Scenario 3: Health-Tech Startup Preparing for Compliance Readiness

Stack: React + Python (FastAPI) + MongoDB on Google Cloud · 

Audit: Code-Level Security Review + Cloud Configuration

Situation:A startup handling patient appointment data is preparing for HIPAA and SOC 2 readiness. It needs to know where the application falls short before engaging a formal compliance auditor.

Common findings:

• Sensitive fields stored without encryption at rest

• Detailed error messages exposing stack traces and database structure

• Service account with broad project-level permissions

• No audit trail showing who accessed patient records

What happens next: The team gets a prioritized list of technical control gaps to close before the formal compliance audit. That reduces the risk of costly findings and delays during certification.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a web application security audit?

It's a structured assessment of a web application's code, configuration, APIs, and hosting environment to identify security vulnerabilities, rate their severity, and recommend fixes.

How much does a web application security audit cost?

A Focused Security Audit starts at $799, and a Combined Security Audit starts at $1,999. Enterprise assessments are priced by scope. The final price is fixed after a free scoping call.

How long does a security audit take?

A Focused Security Audit takes 5–7 business days. A Combined Security Audit takes 2–3 weeks, depending on application size.

What's the difference between a security audit and a penetration test?

A penetration test simulates an external attack to see what can be exploited. A security audit is broader: it reviews code, configuration, access control, and cloud setup to find root causes and recommend fixes. Our Combined Security Audit includes testing of the running application.

Will testing affect my live application?

We recommend testing in a staging environment that mirrors production. If production testing is required, we agree on safe testing windows and methods in writing beforehand.

Do you follow OWASP standards?

Yes. Our methodology is aligned with the OWASP Top 10, OWASP API Security Top 10, and OWASP ASVS, with findings classified by CWE and prioritized using CVSS-based severity.

Will you sign an NDA?

Yes. We sign an NDA and a written testing authorization before any access to your code or systems.

Can the report help with SOC 2 or enterprise security questionnaires?

Yes. The report provides evidence of an independent security assessment and helps you answer questionnaires accurately. A security audit is not a SOC 2 certification itself, but it helps you prepare for one.

Do you retest after we fix the issues?

Yes. The Combined Security Audit includes one free retest within 30 days, and retesting can be added to any other plan.
