Why Choose Breach Craft for Your Web Application Penetration Testing

Not All Web Application Testing Is Created Equal

Web application security testing has become increasingly commoditized, with many providers offering seemingly similar services. However, the quality, depth, and value of these assessments vary dramatically between providers.

At Breach Craft, we've developed our web application penetration testing services to address the limitations of standard offerings while delivering actionable insights that help you measurably reduce security risk.

The Breach Craft Web Application Testing Advantage

1. Standards-Based Methodology with Complete Coverage

The Traditional Approach: Many providers use proprietary testing methodologies with inconsistent coverage, often focusing on "quick win" vulnerabilities while missing more complex security flaws.

The Breach Craft Advantage: We rigorously adhere to the industry-leading OWASP Web Security Testing Guide (WSTG) methodology, ensuring systematic coverage across all 14 key testing categories:

• Information Gathering

• Configuration and Deployment Management

• Identity Management

• Authentication

• Authorization

• Session Management

• Input Validation

• Error Handling

• Cryptography

• Business Logic

• Client-Side Testing

• API Testing

• Server-Side Testing

• Testing for Specific Vulnerabilities

This comprehensive approach goes beyond the OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities to ensure no critical testing areas are overlooked, providing complete visibility into your application's security posture.

2. Business-Contextualized Risk Assessment

The Traditional Approach: Many providers simply list vulnerabilities with generic severity ratings that don't account for your specific business context.

The Breach Craft Advantage: We apply the OWASP Risk Rating Methodology and enhance it with business context specific to your organization:

• Vulnerability likelihood factors based on your threat model

• Impact assessments that consider your specific data sensitivity

• Business risk contextualization for your industry and regulatory environment

• Risk ratings that reflect both technical severity and business importance

This contextualized approach delivers risk ratings that genuinely reflect your business priorities, helping you allocate resources where they'll have the greatest security impact.

3. Human-Led Testing with Tool Augmentation

The Traditional Approach: Many providers rely heavily on automated scanning tools, with minimal human expertise to interpret and validate results.

The Breach Craft Advantage: While we leverage advanced security tools, our testing is fundamentally expert-driven:

• Experienced security professionals lead every assessment

• Tools support human testers rather than replacing them

• Manual testing for complex vulnerabilities tools can't detect

• Emphasis on business logic flaws that only human expertise can identify

• Creative attack chaining that demonstrates realistic exploitation scenarios

This human-led approach identifies sophisticated vulnerabilities that automated tools invariably miss, particularly in areas like access control, business logic, and multi-step attack sequences.

4. Application-Specific Remediation Guidance

The Traditional Approach: Many providers offer generic remediation advice copy-pasted from vulnerability databases.

The Breach Craft Advantage: We provide detailed, application-specific remediation guidance:

• Custom code examples relevant to your technology stack

• Framework-specific security controls appropriate for your environment

• Architectural recommendations for systemic improvements

• Remediation verification steps for your development team

• Prioritized roadmaps based on risk and implementation complexity

This tailored guidance helps your development team implement effective fixes efficiently, without wasting time translating generic advice to your specific environment.

5. Experienced US-Based Testing Team

The Traditional Approach: Many firms rely on junior testers with limited experience or offshore resources with communication challenges.

The Breach Craft Advantage: Our web application penetration testing team consists of experienced US-based security professionals with diverse backgrounds:

• Secure software development experience

• Web application security research credentials

• Defensive security and incident response experience

• Specific expertise across major web frameworks and technologies

With team members located across the continental United States (lower 48 states), and our headquarters in the Philadelphia Metro area, we bring nationwide expertise while maintaining close communication throughout the engagement.

6. Comprehensive Technical Coverage

The Traditional Approach: Many providers focus primarily on common vulnerabilities while providing limited coverage of underlying infrastructure and emerging attack vectors.

The Breach Craft Advantage: Our assessments provide comprehensive technical coverage:

• Front-end client-side vulnerabilities (DOM-based XSS, CSRF, etc.)

• Back-end server vulnerabilities (SQLi, command injection, etc.)

• API security testing (REST, GraphQL, SOAP)

• Authentication and authorization mechanisms

• Session management controls

• Third-party component analysis

• Configuration reviews of associated web infrastructure

• Container security considerations for containerized applications

This comprehensive approach ensures that no critical component of your web application environment is left unexamined.

7. Development Team Collaboration

The Traditional Approach: Many providers operate in isolation from your development team, delivering reports without meaningful engagement.

The Breach Craft Advantage: We emphasize collaboration with your development team:

• Optional developer interviews during scoping to understand application architecture

• Clear communication channels during testing for clarification needs

• Developer-focused remediation guidance

• Optional knowledge transfer sessions after testing

• Remediation support during fix implementation

This collaborative approach ensures findings are properly understood and effectively addressed, while also building security awareness within your development team.

8. Modern Development Environment Compatibility

The Traditional Approach: Many providers use testing approaches designed for traditional development models that don't align with modern CI/CD pipelines.

The Breach Craft Advantage: Our testing methodology adapts to modern development environments:

• Experience with DevSecOps integration

• Flexible testing windows that accommodate sprint cycles

• Reporting formats compatible with development tracking systems

• Guidance on implementing security gates in CI/CD pipelines

• Recommendations for continuous security monitoring

This compatibility ensures our security testing enhances rather than disrupts your development processes.

Distinctive Testing Packages for Different Needs

Recognizing that organizations have varying security requirements and budgets, we offer distinct testing packages:

Standard Web Application Assessment

Comprehensive testing covering all OWASP WSTG categories with gray-box access, ideal for most business applications.

Advanced Application Security Assessment

Enhanced testing including source code review components and extended testing time for complex applications with high-security requirements.

Each package includes our thorough methodology, detailed reporting, and specific remediation guidance while varying in depth and scope to match your needs.

Is Breach Craft's Web Application Testing Right for You?

Our OWASP-aligned web application penetration testing delivers particular value for organizations that:
