Web Application Vulnerability Scan
Automated scanning of your web applications, with results manually reviewed by a consultant to remove false positives and prioritise real findings.
What is a web application vulnerability scan?
A web application vulnerability scan is an automated assessment of a website or web application. It crawls the application and tests it for common security flaws and misconfigurations, giving you visibility of weaknesses that could be exploited through the browser.
What we cover
- Application crawling: mapping pages, inputs and functionality to understand the application’s structure.
- Common vulnerability checks: testing for issues such as injection flaws, cross-site scripting and insecure configurations.
- Authentication and session settings: reviewing login handling, cookies and session management for weak settings.
- Encryption and headers: checking SSL/TLS configuration and security-related HTTP headers.
- Manual review: a consultant reviews the scan output to remove false positives and confirm which findings are genuine.
Who needs it
Organisations running websites or web applications that handle user data, logins or transactions. It suits teams wanting regular assurance over their applications and those working towards compliance requirements that call for routine security assessment.
What the process looks like
We confirm the scope in writing, including any test credentials needed, then run the automated scan against the agreed application. A consultant manually reviews the results to remove false positives and add context, then delivers a prioritised report with severity ratings, plain-language explanations and remediation guidance.
