Security Challenges

Most Common Threats in Software Houses

Software houses develop applications at a rapid pace, often under deadline pressure. We help detect and fix vulnerabilities before they reach your clients.

SaaS

SaaS Solution Security

SaaS solutions serve thousands of users in the cloud. Unauthorized access, API attacks, AWS/Azure/GCP misconfigurations, and data leaks can destroy your reputation. We test multi-tenancy, data isolation, and cloud security controls.

Sprint

Secure CI/CD Pipeline

Fast sprints and deadline pressure cause security to take a back seat. Vulnerabilities reach production due to lack of CI/CD controls. We help integrate security testing with GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, and Azure DevOps.

Custom Code

Custom-Built Solutions

Bespoke client projects are a frequent source of vulnerabilities. Lack of standardization, varying coding styles, and time pressure lead to business logic flaws, insecure API integrations, and missing data validation.

API

REST and GraphQL API Vulnerabilities

APIs are the foundation of modern applications. Broken Authentication, Broken Authorization, Mass Assignment, Rate Limiting bypass, and Injection are the most common issues. We test in accordance with OWASP API Security Top 10.

Dependencies

Risky npm/pip/Maven Dependencies

Vulnerabilities in third-party libraries (npm, PyPI, Maven, NuGet) are a common attack vector. Supply chain attacks and typosquatting threaten entire projects. We perform SCA (Software Composition Analysis) and recommend secure alternatives.

Compliance

Client Compliance Requirements

Clients from regulated industries (fintech, medtech, gov) require compliance with GDPR, ISO 27001, SOC 2, HIPAA. Lack of security verification results in project rejection. We confirm compliance before your client’s audit does.

Our Services

Comprehensive Security Testing for Software Houses

We offer a full spectrum of services tailored to the software development lifecycle (SDLC) and Agile/DevOps methodologies.

Web Application Penetration Testing

Comprehensive security analysis of web applications, SaaS, and client portals. We test frontend (React, Angular, Vue), backend (Node.js, Python, Java, .NET, PHP), and databases. Compliance with OWASP Top 10 and OWASP ASVS.

  • SQL Injection, XSS, CSRF
  • Authentication & Authorization
  • Business Logic Vulnerabilities
  • Session Management
See the service →

API and Microservices Security Audits

Specialized testing of REST API, GraphQL, gRPC, and WebSocket. We verify authorization, rate limiting, CORS, input validation, and compliance with OWASP API Security Top 10. We also test microservices architecture and inter-service communication.

  • Broken Authentication
  • BOLA & Mass Assignment
  • Rate Limiting & Throttling
  • GraphQL Introspection
See the service →

Secure Development and Code Review

Source code reviews (PHP, JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, Java, C#, Go) to identify vulnerabilities. SAST (Static Application Security Testing) analysis, CI/CD integration, DevSecOps support. We deliver actionable recommendations with code snippets for remediation.

  • Secure Code Review
  • SAST Integration
  • DevSecOps Consulting
  • CI/CD Security Pipeline

Mobile Application Penetration Testing

In-depth security analysis of iOS and Android applications (native, React Native, Flutter). We test in accordance with OWASP MASVS. We verify storage, network communication, reverse engineering, code obfuscation, and authorization mechanisms.

  • Insecure Data Storage
  • Certificate Pinning
  • Reverse Engineering
  • Root/Jailbreak Detection

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ – Penetration Testing for Software Houses

Answers to the most common questions from software house companies about penetration testing and security audits.

Why does a software house need penetration testing?

Software houses develop software for multiple clients, often in regulated industries (finance, healthcare, e-commerce). An insecure application can lead to client data breaches, reputational damage, financial penalties, and project rejection by the client. Penetration testing detects vulnerabilities before production deployment.

What types of applications do you test for software houses?

We test web applications (React, Angular, Vue), backends (Node.js, Python, Java, .NET), APIs (REST, GraphQL, gRPC), mobile applications (iOS, Android, React Native, Flutter), SaaS solutions, microservices, and cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP).

Can testing be conducted during a sprint?

Yes. We offer a flexible approach tailored to Agile/Scrum methodology. We can conduct incremental testing during sprints, integrate with CI/CD pipelines, or perform a full audit before release. For long-term collaboration, we offer a subscription model with regular testing of new features.

How long does an application penetration test take?

Duration depends on complexity: small web application (2-4 days), medium application with API (5-8 days), large SaaS platform (10-15 days), mobile application (3-5 days), code review (2-7 days). We also offer express security audits (1-2 days) before major releases.

Do you help fix discovered vulnerabilities?

Yes. We provide detailed remediation recommendations with code examples (PHP, JavaScript, Python, Java, C#). We also offer dev team consultations (fix code review, implementation guidance) and retesting after vulnerability remediation. For long-term collaboration, we offer DevSecOps support and SDLC integration.

Do you work with Agile/DevOps teams?

Yes. We understand the specifics of working with Agile and DevOps methodologies. We can integrate security testing with CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Jenkins), conduct security sprints, participate in plannings and retrospectives, and deliver feedback via Jira/Azure DevOps/Linear.

Which technologies do you know best?

Frontend: React, Angular, Vue, Next.js, Nuxt.js. Backend: Node.js, Python (Django, Flask, FastAPI), Java (Spring), .NET, PHP (Laravel, Symfony), Ruby on Rails, Go. Databases: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis. Cloud: AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, Docker. Mobile: Swift, Kotlin, React Native, Flutter.

Are your tests compliant with OWASP?

Yes. Our tests are based on OWASP Testing Guide, OWASP Top 10, OWASP ASVS (Application Security Verification Standard), and OWASP MASVS for mobile applications. The report includes mapping of discovered vulnerabilities to OWASP categories and recommendations aligned with OWASP Cheat Sheets.

What does a penetration test report include?

The report includes: executive summary for management, detailed vulnerability descriptions with CVSS risk ratings, proof-of-concept (screenshots, curl commands, exploit code), remediation recommendations with code examples, mapping to OWASP Top 10 and CWE, testing timeline, and technical appendix. Format: PDF + optionally markdown for easy integration with technical documentation.

Do you offer secure coding training?

Yes. We conduct Secure Coding workshops for developers (PHP, JavaScript, Python, Java), OWASP Top 10 training, security code review, threat modeling, and DevSecOps. Training can be tailored to the technologies you use and delivered online or on-site.
