Peneto Labs: Penetration Testing Services

Application Penetration Testing

Applications are often the most exposed—and most exploited—part of your IT infrastructure. At Peneto Labs, we conduct deep, manual penetration testing across web, mobile, desktop, and SaaS applications to uncover real-world vulnerabilities attackers could exploit.

We Know Application Security Inside and Out

Modern applications are complex, connected, and often built on third-party components. That makes them an attractive attack surface. From insecure APIs and business logic flaws to reverse engineering and session hijacking — attackers look for what tools miss.

At Peneto Labs, we simulate real-world attacks using manual testing, authenticated sessions, and exploit chaining across your application stack. Our team holds certifications like OSCP, OSCE, GPEN, and we are officially empanelled by CERT-In to provide information security audits.

SaaS Application Security Testing

We assess staging and live environments to reflect real usage conditions. Our findings are based on manual techniques, not just scans — giving you visibility into issues that could truly put your business at risk.

Process

Our Application Testing Process

01

Scoping and Access

We align on platforms, user roles, data flows, and testing environments (e.g., UAT, staging, production) including your business objectives and regulatory compliance requirements.

02

Real-World Testing

Our experts conduct manual and tool-assisted testing using Burp Suite, Postman, Frida, and disassemblers to identify technical and logical flaws.

03

Reporting & Retesting

You receive a prioritized report with clear remediation steps. After your team applies fixes, we retest and issue a closure certificate or CERT-In audit report.

What You’ll Receive

Our reports are built to drive results. Engineers get clear steps, code references, and PoCs. Managers get risk impact, summaries, and closure metrics. It is security made understandable — and actionable.

  • CWE & CVSS- Based Technical Report
  • Executive Summary for CXOs 
  • Developer-Focused Fix Guidance 
  • Proof-of-Concept Screenshots/Exploits 
  • Free Re-Testing to Confirm Fixes 
  • CERT-In Audit Certificate

Frequently Asked Questions

Application penetration testing is a security assessment designed to identify vulnerabilities in software applications—such as web apps, mobile apps, and desktop applications—that could be exploited by attackers. 

It helps detect flaws in logic, coding, authentication, and data handling before they lead to real-world breaches. This testing is important because applications are often targeted due to the sensitive data they handle, like customer information, login credentials, and payment details.

At Peneto Labs, we test a wide range of applications, including web-based platforms, SaaS products, mobile apps, APIs, and internal business software. Whether it’s customer-facing or used by internal teams, if the application processes data or communicates over a network, it can and should be tested for security risks. We customize our approach based on the technology stack, business logic, and risk level of each application.

Application penetration testing reveals both technical and logical vulnerabilities. These may include issues like SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), broken authentication, insecure direct object references (IDOR), sensitive data exposure, insecure API endpoints, and misconfigured security settings. The goal is to identify how an attacker could misuse the application to gain unauthorized access or manipulate data.

Our testing process at Peneto Labs follows established standards such as the OWASP Top 10, PTES (Penetration Testing Execution Standard), and NIST guidelines. We combine automated scanning tools with thorough manual testing to detect hidden flaws. 

Our approach covers everything from input validation and session management to access control and business logic abuse, ensuring a complete security evaluation of the application.

No, our penetration testing is conducted in a non-intrusive and controlled manner. We carefully plan each test to avoid causing downtime or system crashes. 

If your application is in production, we work during off-peak hours or use a staging environment to ensure business continuity. Every step is coordinated with your technical team to minimize risk and ensure safe execution.

We recommend conducting application penetration testing at least once a year or after major code changes, feature updates, or infrastructure shifts. Regular testing helps you stay ahead of evolving threats, especially if your application is frequently updated or handles sensitive data. Continuous testing is also advisable for applications used in regulated industries like healthcare, banking, or e-commerce.

After the testing is complete, we provide a detailed report that outlines all discovered vulnerabilities, their severity levels, technical impact, and recommended fixes. 

The report includes an executive summary for decision-makers and technical insights for your development team. Our team is also available for a walkthrough session to explain the findings and answer any questions.

Yes, many regulatory standards and frameworks require or strongly recommend application penetration testing. These include PCI DSS, HIPAA, ISO 27001, GDPR, and SOC 2. For organizations operating in India, application penetration testing is also recommended to align with CERT-In guidelines for cybersecurity readiness and incident response.

Regular testing not only helps meet these compliance requirements but also demonstrates a proactive approach to data protection, boosting customer trust and business credibility.

Pricing for application penetration testing depends on the type of application (web, mobile, API, or hybrid), its architecture, the number of input fields, user roles, and integration with third-party services. More complex apps with authentication layers, payment systems, or sensitive data handling require more time and a deeper test, which affects the overall cost.
