Why web apps need special attention
Firewalls and filters won’t catch everything.
Web apps are one of the most common breach vectors – and most security controls won’t flag the logic flaws, access issues or injection vulnerabilities that attackers target.
Our Web Application Penetration Test uncovers security gaps you can’t see – but criminals can.
What we test
We assess your web application’s key security controls and common weakness areas, including:
- Authentication and access controls
- Session management
- Input validation and sanitisation
- Server configuration and encryption
- Application logic and workflow
- Common vulnerabilities – such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS) and information leakage

What you’ll get
A detailed, actionable report written for both technical and business audiences:
- Executive summary - key risks at a glance for stakeholders
- Methodology and scope - what was tested and how
- Vulnerability findings - with consultant commentary and step-by-step remediation advice
Plus, a post-test debrief and the opportunity to ask follow-up questions once the report is issued.
How we test
Our testing follows industry standards like OWASP, OSSTMM and SANS – adapted for real-world effectiveness and practicality.
Every engagement includes manual techniques and expert insight that go far beyond basic scanners.
Testing is performed by UK-based consultants with years of hands-on experience in identifying and exploiting web application flaws.
Who is this service for?
Organisations with a public-facing web application that includes basic dynamic functionality (e.g. contact forms, login pages or search fields).
For authenticated testing, multiple applications or complex functionality, contact us for a custom quote.
If a web application firewall is in place, whitelisting will need to be configured.

“It has been an absolute pleasure working with IT Governance, they made the process from start to finish so straight forward.
Loreta explained everything to us and guided us through the process and Peter, who conducted the testing, was helpful and extremely knowledgeable.
We will be coming back to IT Governance for all future security testing.”
