Whether launching a new app, undergoing digital change, or seeking reassurance, our CREST-approved testing ensures resilience against evolving threats.
Businesses rely on applications like web portals, mobile apps, APIs, and internal systems. However, these are common targets for attackers. That’s why our CREST-accredited testing identifies and helps fix vulnerabilities before they can be exploited, keeping your systems secure.
As an award-winning, CREST-approved penetration testing service provider, you can trust not only our credentials but also our proven methodology. In addition, we bring industry-leading expertise to reliably uncover and address vulnerabilities in your IT infrastructure.
Our experienced penetration testers deliver industry-leading expertise backed by hundreds of genuine 5-star reviews. We tailor each assessment to your needs, ensuring reliable, high-quality results. With Assure Technical, your security is in safe hands.
We combine manual testing with smart tools to simulate real-world attacks tailored to your app and business context. In addition, we detect logic flaws and misconfigurations often missed by automation, providing clear, prioritised insights for effective remediation.
Applications are central to modern business, but greater functionality and connectivity mean increased cyber risk. Whether handling data, processing transactions, or integrating third-party services, even one missed vulnerability can have serious consequences.
Here are six compelling reasons why regular application penetration testing should be a core part of your cyber security strategy.
Applications are often complex, with various components and user roles. Therefore, testing is crucial to uncover issues like injection flaws, insecure APIs, or misconfigured permissions before attackers exploit them.
A breach of personal or financial data can severely and permanently damage your reputation. However, regular testing helps prevent this by ensuring your applications meet data protection standards. As a result, you not only reduce risk but also reassure customers their information is secure.
From GDPR and ISO 27001 to PCI DSS and Cyber Essentials Plus, application testing helps demonstrate that you're actively managing cyber risk and meeting your regulatory and contractual obligations.
Security issues become more costly and complex to fix later in the development process. Therefore, early testing is essential to integrate security into your SDLC. As a result, teams can learn from findings, adapt their approach, and build more resilient software from the start.
Cyber attacks can lead to severe financial damage, including incident response costs, lost revenue, and potential legal action. However, regular testing helps prevent breaches before they occur. Consequently, this reduces the risk of business disruption, regulatory penalties, and reputational harm.
Internal development and QA teams may unintentionally overlook security issues due to familiarity or time pressures. As such, independent testing provides an objective assessment of your application’s resilience. In turn, this boosts stakeholder confidence in your organisation’s overall cyber maturity.
Application penetration testing targets specific risks across web, mobile, API, and cloud environments. Each type plays a crucial role in identifying vulnerabilities and strengthening your defences. Understanding these methods helps ensure your applications are secure, compliant, and resilient against evolving threats.
Focuses on identifying vulnerabilities in websites and online portals. It helps prevent attacks like SQL injection, XSS, and authentication flaws.
Targets security weaknesses in iOS and Android apps. This ensures data protection, secure API calls, and safe user interactions on mobile devices.
Examines exposed APIs for insecure endpoints and data leaks. It’s crucial for protecting system integrations and preventing unauthorised access.
Assesses cloud-hosted apps and configurations. It helps uncover misconfigurations, access control issues, and data exposure risks in cloud environments.
This testing identifies security flaws in locally installed software, such as desktop apps or browser plugins. Moreover, it highlights risks from local access or user interaction often missed in server-side testing.
This proactive approach analyses code to uncover hidden vulnerabilities early. In addition, it strengthens security from the ground up and supports secure development throughout the software lifecycle.
In today’s digital era, cyber breaches are inevitable; posing significant operational, financial, and reputational threats to your business.
Importantly, penetration testing is amongst the most effective strategies to bolster your cyber security defences.
