Web App Security

Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) for web applications is the oldest line item on every security checklist — and still the one attackers succeed against most often, because most organizations still treat it as an annual formality instead of an ongoing practice.

VAPT Has Changed From a Checkbox to a Control

The penetration testing market is growing at well over 15% a year, and the reason isn't compliance theater — it's that VAPT has evolved from a "nice-to-have" IT exercise into a core business control that affects regulatory standing, client trust, and even cyber insurance eligibility. Point-in-time scans still have their place, but a report from six months ago says nothing about the deploy you shipped this morning.

What We Test

Alastor InfoSec runs both automated continuous scanning and manual, human-led testing against your web applications and APIs:

• OWASP Top 10 and beyond — injection, broken access control, authentication and session flaws, security misconfiguration, and the categories that dominate real-world breach reports.
• Business logic vulnerabilities — flaws that no automated scanner catches, like price manipulation, workflow bypass, or privilege escalation through legitimate-looking requests.
• API security — REST and GraphQL endpoints tested for broken object-level authorization (BOLA), excessive data exposure, and rate-limit bypass.
• Authentication and session management — password reset flows, multi-factor bypass paths, JWT handling, and session fixation.
• Third-party and dependency risk — vulnerable libraries and integrations that become your problem the moment they ship in your app.

Continuous Pentesting, Not an Annual Snapshot

Every finding lands in your Alastor InfoSec dashboard the same day it's confirmed — not bundled into a PDF delivered weeks after the engagement ends. Combined with our Attack Surface Management module, we don't just test the apps you tell us about; we continuously discover new subdomains, staging environments, and forgotten endpoints and bring them into scope automatically.

For regulated businesses, every finding is mapped to the frameworks that actually matter for your audit — SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, and India's DPDP Act (DPDPA) — so a completed engagement doubles as compliance evidence, not just a to-do list for engineering.

Who Needs This

Any business running a customer-facing web application or API — SaaS platforms, fintech products, e-commerce sites, healthcare portals — needs recurring VAPT, not a one-off. If your last penetration test report is more than a quarter old, your current attack surface almost certainly doesn't match it anymore.
