Penetration Testing

We test web applications, APIs and infrastructure for resistance to real attack scenarios. We work according to OWASP, PTES and NIST methodologies, within the limits of signed testing rules and official permission.

SafeNet Cyber Penetration Testing
When it's needed

Pentest is ordered at specific moments

New product launch

Before the release, it is necessary to make sure that the system will not be broken in the first week. It is better to find the problem with the users than with them.

A requirement of a client or investor

A partner, customer or investor requests a security report. You need a document that is understandable to both your development team and the external auditor.

Preparation for certification

ISO 27001, PCI DSS and financial sector requirements require regular penetration testing.

Don't know the level of your vulnerability

The system works, but there is no certainty. Pentest gives an honest answer: what exactly can be hacked and how critical it is.

Directions of testing

We are testing what can actually attack you

From web application to server configuration. We adjust the format and depth for your system.

We are testing what can actually attack you
[01]

Web and API testing

Deep analysis of what your business goes through: sites, web applications, personal accounts and APIs. We work under OWASP — from classic vulnerabilities to business logic defects that automatic scanners never find.

  • website audit (black-box, gray-box)
  • REST and GraphQL API auditing
  • checking WAF, CDN and balancers
Process

How is the work going?

A transparent process with clear boundaries. You always know what is happening and why.

[ Step 0.1 ]

Inquiry and initial assessment

We discuss the goals, the type of system, and the risks to be tested.

[ Step 0.2 ]

Scoping and preparation

We fix the scope of work, agree on the rules (Rules of Engagement) and sign the NDA. We coordinate testing windows and contact persons for emergency situations.

[ Step 0.3 ]

Testing and analysis

We conduct manual and automated testing based on recognized attack scenarios. We document every step — all actions are reproducible.

[ Step 0.4 ]

Report and recommendations

We prepare a detailed report with a CVSS score for each vulnerability, a description and a step-by-step fix plan.

[ Step 0.5 ]

The playback method in the report

For each vulnerability, we describe a detailed reproduction method so that your team can independently verify the effectiveness of the fixes. If necessary, we conduct the pentest again within one year.

Stage of work: Inquiry and initial assessment
Documenting the results

We test only legally and under your control

A pentest is controlled work with clearly defined boundaries. Before the start, we sign the testing rules, which record: what is allowed, what is not allowed, when we carry out the work and who to contact in an emergency. We document and coordinate all actions.

After testing, you receive a full report: all detected vulnerabilities, their level of criticality and recommendations for elimination. Reporting is structured — a technical piece for your team and a security summary for management.

What the pentest reveals

The most common web application, API and infrastructure vulnerabilities

Pixel art: Unsecured data storage
[01]

Unsecured data storage

Passwords, keys and tokens in code, open backups and databases against access to sensitive information.

Pixel art: Unsafe data transfer
[02]

Unsafe data transfer

Outdated algorithms and bugs in TLS allow data to be intercepted or tampered with in the channel.

Pixel art: Weak authentication
[03]

Weak authentication

Bypassing login, assumed tokens or sessions can open access to other people's accounts or admin panel.

Pixel art: Violation of access control
[04]

Violation of access control

Addressing other people's objects by identifier opens the data of other users.

Pixel art: Code injections
[05]

Code injections

Improper handling of input data allows SQL queries, server-side commands, or third-party code to be executed.

Pixel art: Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
[06]

Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)

Lack of validation makes it possible to inject malicious script into the page and hijack the user's session.

Pixel art: Business logic errors
[07]

Business logic errors

Incorrect logic allows you to bypass the rules, repeat the payment or increase the privileges.

Pixel art: Unsecured APIs
[08]

Unsecured APIs

Lack of capping, excessive data throughput, and hidden endpoints become leakage and entry points for attacks.

Pixel art: Configuration errors and outdated components
[09]

Configuration errors and outdated components

Default passwords, open ports, and libraries with known CVEs give an attacker a foothold in the infrastructure.

Pentest methodologies and tools

We work according to recognized international methodologies and use proven frameworks and tools to reproduce real attack scenarios - accurately, controlled and safe for your systems.

A framework for checking web applications against current threats.

International standard for information security management and risk assessment.

A knowledge base of tactics and techniques used by real criminals.

Guidelines for security testing and cyber risk management.

A framework for combining pentesting with IT processes and risk control.
