Pentest Web Applications

Web applications typically consist of multiple components—web servers, databases, and APIs are present in almost every web application.

Various security gateways, such as Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) or API gateways, are common protection mechanisms but do not provide complete security. A recent study found that over 91% of web applications were inadequately protected against data theft.

To ensure robust defense against potential attacks, it is crucial to regularly test the security of your web applications.

Compared to more extensive assessments, such as source code analysis or background system reviews, web application penetration tests are more cost-effective while still providing critical insights into your security posture. Costs typically range between €3,000 and €7,000—a fraction of the potential cost of a real attack. Web penetration tests are generally non-invasive and can often be conducted without significant disruption to daily operations.

At Berlin Cert, your web application is tested for vulnerabilities following the OWASP Top 10 methodology.

Our IT security experts perform both manual and automated testing using professional tools such as Burp Suite and ZAP, customized to your IT environment.

The security analysis covers the most common web application risks, including misconfigurations, weak access controls, insecure design, and outdated software components.

Testing is conducted without an active security gateway, as performing tests behind a gateway may provide less accurate results regarding the inherent security of the web application itself.

Before the actual test, a pre-assessment meeting takes place to clarify all relevant technical details and conditions. The identified vulnerabilities are classified according to the OWASP Risk Rating Methodology and presented in a detailed report.

At the end of the assessment, you will receive both the final report and a comprehensive personal discussion of the discovered vulnerabilities.
