Application Security Testing
Secure your business-critical applications prior to launch
Attackers play the game on an application-level, and so should you. Risk-Driven Application Security Testing Service is designed to ensure the security integrity of your business-critical applications before launch. This innovative service is founded on the principle of security by design and is comprised of four critical activities: first identifying the applications’ design flaws, then risks to the assets it processes followed by identifying its attack surface and then customising a security penetration test based on the flaws, risks and attack vectors specifically associated with the application.
Features and Components
This unique service is comprised of four activities and deliverables:
Risk Crew security engineers review the design, development, testing and hosting documentation associated with the application, identifying access points to the business information asset and any inherent security design flaws.
The application’s development and testing processes are examined for adherence to OWASP bust practice. Additionally, hosting service level agreements are reviewed for any security shortcomings.
Risk Crew will provide a comprehensive report detailing vulnerabilities in design, development & deployment documentation with recommended remedial measures.
Based on the results of the design review and sensitivity of the information asset, Risk Crew will then conduct an information threat and risk assessment to identify the likelihood and impact of potential security risks to the application.
Risk Crew will provide a detailed report documenting the application vulnerabilities, threats which could exploit these vulnerabilities, and the associated likelihood and impact of those threats if executed.
Risk Crew defines and documents the attack surface of the application. This is done to identify probable threat agents and their most likely attack vectors.
This modelling is essential for scoping effective penetration testing that simulates real-life attacks. Risk Crew will provide the model for record.
Based on the attack model established for the application, Risk Crew designs and conducts a risk-driven, security penetration test.
Risk Crew will produce a detailed report of the findings and remedial recommendations.
Risk Crew Deliverables
Upon completion of each service component, Risk Crew produces the associated deliverables in simple, easy to understand formats that are suitable for both technical and non-technical audiences.
Detailed Report
Report results are translated into meaningful risk messages to the business that provides an effective tool to improve the security of the application. All issues identified are prioritised by severity allowing the effective use of resources.
Stakeholder Workshop
All service deliverables are presented in a workshop to the applicable business stakeholders, ensuring their understanding of the findings and recommendations.
On-call Advice Assistance
We provide advice and assistance for 30 days following the submittal of the deliverables and answer any questions that arise from implementing remedial actions and ensuring risk reduction.
Retesting Included
We offer retesting to verify remedial actions were effective. Upon completion, we’ll provide you a summary report verifying remedial measures have been implemented.
Transparent Pricing
Our fixed pricing services come with no unexpected added costs. Additionally, we offer a managed service to conduct penetration testing on a continual basis.
Customer Promise
This innovative, cost-effective service is covered by our 100% satisfaction guarantee.
| The benefits of this simple risk-driven approach should be obvious. The service results in robust and applicable security controls for the applications that process stores or transmits your business-critical information assets. It confirms that they are ‘fit for purpose’ and can withstand a real-world attack. Specific service benefits include: |
|---|
| Identifying application design, build and hosting security vulnerabilities |
| Identifying and documenting threat agents and attack vectors |
| Obtaining specific recommendations to enhance the security integrity of the application |
| Detecting and quantifying (likelihood & impact) of application security risks |
| Confirming the overall security integrity of the application through security penetration testing |
| Reducing the risk of a breach |

This holistic approach results in a more robust and applicable security posture for the applications that process store and transmit your business-critical information assets. It confirms that they are ‘fit for purpose’ and significantly reduces the risk of a breach.
Four Step Proven Process: Design Review, Threat Assessment, Threat & Attack Modelling, Security Penetration Testing
FAQs
An application security design review is the process of analysing an application’s design to identify inherent vulnerabilities that could be exploited by an attacker.
An application threat and risk assessment is the process of identifying the information asset processed, stored or transmitted by an application and its sensitivity. Along with identifying and quantifying the likelihood and impact of potential security threats the application.
Application threat and attack modelling is a procedure for identifying and documenting threat actors and vectors associated with an application given the application’s design and hosting environment.
A threat actor is a term for any individual or group of individuals that attempt to or conduct a cyber-attack against a target system (or application) – whether intentionally or unintentionally.
A threat vector is a route used by a threat actor in a cyber-attack to access and compromise a target system (or application).
An application security penetration test, also known as a pen test, is a simulated cyber-attack against a target application to attempt to identify and exploit associated vulnerabilities for unauthorised access or privileges.
