Steps Involved in DataguardNXT Web Penetration Testing

Threat Modelling

Analyze the application’s threat profile to identify real-world risks.
Customized test plans simulate hacker strategies, focusing on actual vulnerabilities
rather than generic automated scan results, reducing false positives.

Application Mapping

Map application specifics to the threat profile, including:

  • Key chains, brute-force attacks, and parameter tampering
  • Malicious input testing and fuzzing
  • SQLite database password fields and configuration file encryption
  • Session IDs and time lockouts
  • Error and exception handling
  • Logs and log access control

Client-Side Risks

Assess local storage, encryption, UI/UX vulnerabilities, insecure API calls,
and enterprise logic threats to simulate client-side attacks effectively.

Network-Side Risks

Simulate network-layer attacks to evaluate transport security, capture network traffic,
and test communication channels between the application and servers.

Server-Side Risks

Test back-end components such as web services and APIs to ensure they are secure and cannot be exploited to compromise application functionality.

Database Risks

Assess microservices, data storage, caching, memory usage, and encryption practices.
Focus particularly on authentication data, personally identifiable information (PII),
and other sensitive information to ensure data integrity and security.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Get quick answers about Web Application Penetration Testing

Web Application Penetration Testing is a simulated cyberattack on your web applications to identify vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and potential security loopholes before hackers do. It helps ensure your apps are secure, compliant, and resilient against real-world threats.

A vulnerability scan only identifies known issues, while a penetration test actively exploits vulnerabilities to assess how deeply an attacker could penetrate your systems. DataguardNXT combines both to give you a complete view of your app’s security posture.

We recommend performing a penetration test at least once a year or after major application updates, new feature deployments, or infrastructure changes to ensure continuous protection.

DataguardNXT follows globally recognized frameworks like OWASP Top 10, SANS Top 25, and NIST guidelines, ensuring that your web applications meet international security and compliance standards.
