DomainGuard

Application Security

Beyond network testing: code, logic, and behavior of your custom web, mobile, and API applications.

APPLICATION SECURITY

Going beyond network-based testing.

Application Penetration Tests focus on the code, logic, and behavior of your applications, beyond network infrastructure. We identify vulnerabilities that scanners and firewalls can't detect, like business-logic flaws, privilege escalation paths, and chained exploits specific to your app.

Ideal for custom-built web, mobile, or API applications where the most complex and high-risk components live.

Targeted (Gray-box)

DomainGuard conducts a walkthrough of the application. Authenticated testing is conducted for various users and roles.

(DAST) Dynamic Application Security Testing combined with human testing identifies vulnerabilities that may be overlooked by scanners alone.

Open (White-box) Source Code Review

DomainGuard conducts (SAST) Static Application Security Testing with full insider knowledge, including source code.

This provides the tester with a deeper understanding of the application and its vulnerabilities.

WHY DEDICATED APP TESTING

Why a standard pen test isn't enough.

Many organizations assume a standard penetration test automatically covers their web applications, especially custom-built ones. While a pen test is invaluable for identifying exposed systems and obvious vulnerabilities, it typically takes a high-level, black-box approach. Web apps are tested only as they appear externally, without credentials, source code, or context.

Custom web applications are often the most complex and high-risk components in your environment. They include proprietary logic, sensitive data flows, and authentication mechanisms that require much deeper, context-aware testing.

A comprehensive web application security assessment dives deep into the application's architecture, authenticated functionality, and unique attack surfaces, testing for business-logic flaws, privilege escalation paths, and chained exploits a skilled attacker would seek out.

Where We Test

Coverage across the full application surface, from web to mobile to APIs.

Web Applications

Custom web applications, authenticated multi-role testing, business-logic flaw detection, and chained exploit analysis.

Mobile Applications

iOS and Android applications: reverse engineering, runtime analysis, secure storage validation, and platform-specific testing.

API Endpoints

API endpoint enumeration and tampering. Check for obscure responses, perform access testing by user, and validate authorization boundaries.
