Find Security Weaknesses Before Someone Else Does
We test your web applications and APIs for common security weaknesses, rank what we find by risk and fix it with you. This is application security testing built into how we engineer software, not a compliance audit.

When Security Testing Is Overdue
Security testing usually starts with a customer question or a quiet worry.
Application security testing, not a formal audit.
We do not offer certified penetration testing or compliance audits. If you need one of those, we will tell you up front.
The app handles customer or payment data
Personal details, logins or payments pass through your application and a breach would cost you customers.
A client or partner has asked about your security
A security questionnaire arrived and you are not sure how the app would hold up.
Nobody has reviewed security since launch
The app has grown for years and nobody has checked whether new features opened new gaps.
Your APIs now serve partners or mobile apps
More clients call your APIs than at launch and nobody has tested who can reach what.
Six Parts of Application Security Testing
Pick one to see what it usually involves and how we typically build it.
Checks against the OWASP Top 10
Testing your application for the weaknesses most often exploited in web apps, such as broken access control, injection and weak authentication.
- Access control checks
- Injection and input handling
- Authentication and session checks
Automated scanning
Scanning the running application for known weaknesses and misconfigurations, then confirming the findings by hand.
- Signed-in and public scans
- Configuration and header checks
- Manual confirmation of findings
Code analysis
Reviewing source code for insecure patterns before it reaches production.
- Insecure code patterns
- Secrets left in code
- Checks on every build
API security testing
Testing APIs for missing authorization, data exposure and weak input handling, including the ones used by mobile apps and partners.
- Authorization by role
- Data exposure checks
- Input validation tests
Prioritized fix guidance
Every finding is ranked by risk and effort, with plain-language guidance your developers can act on.
- Risk-ranked findings
- Fix guidance per issue
- Quick wins marked separately
Fixing and retesting
Our engineers fix the issues or support your developers through them, then retest to confirm each one is closed.
- Fixes in code and configuration
- Retest of each finding
- Updated findings report
Highest Risk First. Everything Else Second.
Every engagement follows the same problem-first Systems Engineering Method we use across AppPotter.
Agree the scope
We agree which applications, APIs and environments are in scope and how testing will run.
Scan and analyze
Automated scans and code analysis cover the application broadly.
Test by hand
Testers check access control, authentication and business logic that scanners miss.
Rank the findings
Each issue is confirmed and ranked by risk and the effort to fix it.
Fix with you
Our engineers fix the issues or support your developers through them.
Retest and report
Every fix is retested and you get an updated report showing what was closed.
What Changes When Weaknesses Are Found First
We agree on what to measure during discovery, so success is defined before the build starts, not after launch.
Before: No idea how the app would hold up
After: Known weaknesses found and ranked by risk
Before: Scanner reports full of noise
After: Confirmed findings with clear fix guidance
Before: Security last checked at launch
After: Code analysis that runs on every build
Before: Unsure how to answer a security questionnaire
After: An accurate picture of where the application stands
Before: Findings reported and left open
After: Issues fixed and retested
Chosen for Your Systems, Not Our Preferences
We test against the OWASP Top 10, with OWASP ZAP for scanning, SonarQube for code analysis and Postman for API checks. Findings are confirmed by hand before they reach your report.

Ways to Work Together
- Advisory & Discovery
Short-term Strategy Engagements
For a focused, short-term engagement - an assessment, an architecture review, or technical due diligence - before any build begins.
- Comprehensive architecture reviews
- Due Diligence of your tech stack
- Roadmap and Estimation
- Fixed Price
Fixed Cost Model
For clearly-scoped integration or build work, where the outcome and boundaries are already well defined.
- Change Management process
- Milestone-based delivery
- Quality & SLA Commitments
- Dedicated Team
Dedicated Product Engineering Team
For long-term product or systems work - a sustained AppPotter engineering team working against your roadmap, not rotated project to project.
- Seamless onboarding and roadmap planning
- Fixed Monthly Retainer
- PO/Tech-lead Collaborations
Whichever structure fits, Parth and Umesh are personally involved, from scoping the engagement to standing behind its outcome.

We build custom only when an existing platform, integration or standard product can't solve the business problem.
Security Testing FAQs
Still unsure? A 30-minute conversation usually answers the rest.
Book a callIt is application security testing. We test your web apps and APIs for common weaknesses, including hands-on testing. We do not offer certified penetration testing or formal compliance audits.
A widely used list of the most common security risks in web applications, such as broken access control and injection. It is a practical baseline for testing.
Yes. Testing is part of how we engineer software, so our engineers can fix the issues and retest them. We can also support your developers through the fixes.
We prefer to test a staging environment that mirrors production. Any testing on production is agreed with you and scheduled in advance.
The findings and fixes give you an accurate picture of where the application stands. It does not replace a formal certification if a client requires one.
Usually fixed price, based on the number of applications and APIs in scope. Fixes are quoted once the findings are known.
