Your web application deserves more than a surface scan
A compromised app can result in stolen session IDs, account information theft, data breaches and malicious code being implanted on websites. Rhymetec’s manual penetration testing goes beyond automation to identify and validate vulnerabilities—keeping your applications secure, trusted, and in motion.
Complete application confidence
Each engagement follows a structured, industry-standard OWASP-based methodology–tailored to your environment, applications and risk profile.
Planning and preparation
1
We start with a kickoff call and then determine what accounts are going to be used to simulate an attack. We have several use cases we can share, or you can choose one that makes the most sense.
Discovery
2
In this phase, teams perform different types of reconnaissance on their target. The tester will utilize the application as an unauthenticated user as well as with credentials if credentialed testing is desired. The web application is crawled to find hidden content and enumerate as much data as possible, utilizing the original test cases.
Penetration attempt and exploitation
3
Both automated and manual penetration testing are performed to determine weakness in the application. Response is reviewed and critical functions are mapped to find different paths to escalation. Any critical findings are immediately presented to customers to reduce risk of attacks occurring against critical findings.
Analysis and reporting
4
The tester will input findings into the internal documentation system as the test progresses. Examples of exploits and weaknesses are presented in a standardized report that include details about findings and how to remediate them. The report is created with both an executive summary for C-Level staff and detailed findings areas where developers can take action on findings.
Retest (Included Depending on Test Type)
5
A retesting window allows you to work on findings. The tester will work with you if any questions arise regarding the original finding and retest the original findings requested. At the end of the retesting window, a new report is created with updated progress.
Insights that speed up innovation
- Gain a detailed view of security weaknesses to better protect systems and data from attack
- Discover the information that systems are leaking
- Mitigate critical vulnerabilities before an attacker can gain access
- Allow your developers to focus on other issues and to meet deadlines
- Meet compliance requirements faster and more efficiently
Our Web Application Penetration tests review internal functions, and not external APIs. For testing of external APIs, please visit our External API Penetration Testing Service.
Findings for forward motion
At the end of the assessment, you’ll receive a full deliverable package built to drive action and maintain momentum, including:
- Immediate notification of critical findings
- Executive Presentation of initial findings
- Detailed findings and remediation
- Retesting of initial findings
- A final report with updated findings
- Final and executive summary

What is the difference between a Web Application Penetration Test and a Vulnerability Scan?
Vulnerability scans will highlight known weaknesses in a web application. At the same time, a penetration test will show how well existing defenses will hold up against a real-world attack by a cybercriminal.
How long does a Web Application Penetration Test take?
Almost all of our Penetration Tests take approximately one week for initial testing. Upon notification of critical findings coupled with an executive presentation of initial findings, plus details for remediation, our team will execute a retest at no additional cost to you.
What does a Web Application Penetration Test entail?
Rhymetec’s team of dedicated security specialists will customize the breadth and depth of testing based upon the cloud deployment and service model of the application and architecture. Utilizing both automated dynamic analysis and heavy manual penetration testing, the assessment tests for vulnerabilities in the user-facing web application interface to ensure they are not vulnerable to the Open Web Application Security Project’s (OWASP) Top Ten recommendations for web application security.
Who needs a Web Application Penetration Test?
A Web Application Penetration Testing service is an integral tool that organizations can use to ensure their cybersecurity implementation is effective. Any organization concerned about their overall cybersecurity risks or needs to meet certain compliance mandates for their web application should consult on executing annual or even bi-annual Web Application Penetration Tests.
