Why Choose Breach Craft for Your Web Application Penetration Testing

Web application security testing has become increasingly commoditized, with providers offering similar services despite significant quality variations. Breach Craft addresses limitations in standard offerings while delivering insights that measurably reduce security risk.

Eight Key Advantages

1. Standards-Based Methodology

Breach Craft adheres to the OWASP Web Security Testing Guide (WSTG) methodology, ensuring systematic coverage across 14 testing categories:

• Information gathering and reconnaissance
• Configuration and deployment management testing
• Identity and authentication management
• Authorization testing
• Session management testing
• Input validation testing
• Error handling
• Cryptography assessment
• Business logic testing
• Client-side testing
• API testing
• Additional server-side components

This extends far beyond the OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities that many providers use as their complete checklist.

2. Business-Contextualized Risk Assessment

Rather than generic severity ratings, we apply the OWASP Risk Rating Methodology enhanced with organizational context. Assessments consider:

• Your specific threat models
• Data sensitivity classifications
• Industry regulations and compliance requirements
• Business priorities and risk tolerance

The result: actionable risk ratings that reflect actual business impact, not just technical severity.

3. Human-Led Testing with Tool Augmentation

Expert security professionals lead assessments with tools supporting rather than replacing human expertise. Our approach emphasizes manual testing for:

• Complex vulnerabilities requiring contextual understanding
• Business logic flaws unique to your application
• Creative attack chaining combining multiple weaknesses
• Edge cases that automated scanners miss

Automated tools have their place, but they cannot replace human creativity and contextual understanding.

4. Application-Specific Remediation Guidance

Generic vulnerability database advice doesn’t help developers fix issues efficiently. We provide:

• Custom code examples in your technology stack
• Framework-specific security controls
• Architectural recommendations when needed
• Verification steps to confirm fixes
• Prioritized remediation roadmaps

Our reports help your development team implement fixes, not just understand problems.

5. Experienced US-Based Team

Our testing team comprises experienced professionals with backgrounds in:

• Secure software development
• Web application security research
• Incident response and forensics
• Major web framework expertise

Team members are distributed across the continental United States, providing coverage and availability.

6. Comprehensive Technical Coverage

Assessments address the full application stack:

• Front-end vulnerabilities: DOM-based XSS, CSRF, client-side injection
• Back-end vulnerabilities: SQL injection, command injection, path traversal
• API security: REST, GraphQL, SOAP testing
• Authentication and authorization: Session management, access control
• Third-party components: Libraries, frameworks, integrations
• Infrastructure: Configuration, deployment security
• Containerized applications: Container-specific security concerns

7. Development Team Collaboration

Security testing should improve development practices, not just find problems. We emphasize:

• Optional developer interviews during scoping
• Clear communication channels throughout engagement
• Developer-focused remediation guidance
• Optional knowledge transfer sessions
• Remediation support during implementation

8. Modern Development Environment Compatibility

Testing methodologies adapt to modern CI/CD pipelines with:

• Flexible testing windows accommodating sprint cycles
• Development tracking system compatibility
• Guidance for implementing security gates in CI/CD
• Integration with existing development workflows

Testing Packages

Standard Web Application Assessment Comprehensive testing covering all OWASP WSTG categories with gray-box access for typical business applications.

Advanced Application Security Assessment Enhanced testing including source code review components and extended time for complex, high-security applications.

Is This Right for You?

Breach Craft’s web application testing particularly benefits organizations that:

• Need business risk assessment rather than vulnerability lists
