    Application Security Review

    Your Application May Be Your Biggest Security Gap

    Starting at $7,500 | Scoped per application

    Web and internal applications are among the most targeted attack surfaces in the modern business environment. If your business runs a customer portal, an employee-facing application, a client intake form connected to your back-end systems, or any web-based tool built by an internal team or a third-party developer, that application carries security risk that no network firewall can address.

    The CyberWarrior Application Security Review is a thorough, human-led assessment of your web or internal application mapped to the OWASP Top 10:2025, the definitive industry standard for application security risk. We identify vulnerabilities across access control, authentication, injection points, configuration, data handling, and more, and deliver a findings report your development team or technology partner can act on immediately.

    The Framework Behind the Review: OWASP Top 10:2025

    The Open Web Application Security Project Top 10 represents the global consensus on the most critical security risks to web applications. The 2025 edition reflects the latest threat data across hundreds of organizations and thousands of applications. Our review tests your application against every category.

    What's Included

    1

    Phase 1: Scoping and Intake

    1-2 hours, client-facing

    • Definition of application scope: which application or applications are in scope, user roles to be tested, and any specific areas of concern
    • Access provisioning: test account setup, staging environment confirmation, and testing window agreement
    • Review of available technical documentation, architecture diagrams, or prior security assessments
    2

    Phase 2: Application Testing

    Internal, 12-20 hours depending on application complexity

    • Automated analysis: vulnerability scanning, dependency analysis, security header and configuration review
    • Manual testing: authenticated and unauthenticated testing across all defined user roles
    • Business logic testing specific to your application's functionality
    • Session management and authentication flow testing
    • Input validation testing across all data entry points
    • Access control verification across all user roles and data objects
    • API security testing where applicable
    3

    Phase 3: Deliverable

    • Executive summary with business impact narrative for each critical and high finding
    • Technical findings report with: severity rating, detailed description, evidence and reproduction steps, and specific remediation guidance for each finding
    • Findings mapped to OWASP Top 10:2025 categories
    • Remediation priority recommendations based on exploitability and business impact
    • One round of retesting for Critical and High findings included at no additional charge
    • 60-minute findings readout call with development team or technology partner

    Business Value

    • Understand your application's real-world attack exposure before your customers or a threat actor discovers it
    • Findings delivered in a format your development team or technology partner can act on immediately
    • Satisfies application security testing requirements for SOC 2, PCI DSS, and cyber insurance
    • Delivered by practitioners who understand both the attack techniques and the development context behind the findings
    • Built on OWASP Top 10:2025: the same standard referenced by every major compliance framework and regulatory body

    What Happens After

    Application security is not a point-in-time event. Every code change, dependency update, or new feature introduces potential new risk. For businesses that deploy software regularly, CyberWarrior recommends establishing a recurring testing cadence. For businesses that want ongoing security oversight across their entire environment, CyberWarrior's Managed IT and Security service provides continuous monitoring and a standing relationship with the same team that assessed your application.
