Sodium Cyber is able to undertake full-spectrum web application penetration testing across all industries
“Advanced Web Security Testing – Identifying and Mitigating Risks Before They Become Threats.”
Our Approach
In today’s digital landscape, ensuring the security of your web applications, APIs, and mobile applications is paramount. Comprehensive penetration testing evaluates the entire application to identify vulnerabilities, including those outlined in the OWASP Top Ten. This process uncovers weaknesses that could allow attackers to compromise the application, its data, users, or hosting environment. Incorporating web application security testing into your organisation’s risk assessment is essential before launching live services.
Our Methodology
At Sodium Cyber, we elevate web application security testing to the highest standards. Our goal is to provide clients with the confidence that their web applications have undergone extensive scrutiny by industry leaders. We offer scheduled application penetration testing services to ensure your web presence remains secure over time.
Web application, API and mobile application penetration tests aim to review an entire application. An assessed application will be subjected to a review for vulnerabilities (including those detailed within the OWASP Top Ten located at https://owasp.org/www-project-top-ten/) to identify any weaknesses that could allow an attacker to compromise the application, the data it interacts with, its users or the hosting environment. Website / Web application security testing should be part of all organisations’ risk assessment phases prior to launching live services.
Sodium Cyber takes web application security testing to the highest level, ensuring that a customer can release their web app, knowing it has been extensively scrutinised by industry leaders. We can provide scheduled application penetration testing services to our customers to ensure their web presence is secure on an ongoing basis.
Identified resources will be systematically tested using a combination of automated tools and manual testing. The applications can be developed with any programming languages and technologies. “Black box” and/or “Grey/White box” testing can be used depending on the type of attackers the client wishes to simulate. There are 9 areas that will be tested against.
With secure development expertise in-house, you will find that the quality of our output is unmatched in providing actionable advice for discovered vulnerabilities in your application.
API testing primarily focuses on the functionality, reliability, and security of the application programming interface. This involves sending requests to the API endpoints and validating the responses against expected results. Key aspects include verifying data accuracy, response codes, error handling, and authentication mechanisms.

API testing is centred on the functionality, reliability, and security of your application programming interfaces. This involves sending requests to API endpoints and validating responses against expected outcomes. Key aspects include:
•Verifying data accuracy
•Assessing response codes
•Evaluating error handling
•Reviewing authentication mechanisms
Conducting evaluations with partial or full knowledge of the application’s architecture and source code.
With in-house expertise in secure development, we pride ourselves on delivering unmatched quality. Our actionable advice addresses discovered vulnerabilities, ensuring your application is robust against potential threats.
We also work in line with the Application Security Verification Standard (ASVS), an internationally recognised framework developed by OWASP. ASVS provides a structured approach for assessing the security of web applications by defining security requirements across different levels. This ensures that applications meet rigorous security standards and comply with best practices for secure development.
By aligning our penetration testing and security reviews with ASVS, we provide a higher level of assurance that your applications are built and maintained to withstand modern threats. Our team assesses applications against ASVS controls, helping organisations achieve compliance and implement a strong security posture from development to deployment.
