Your apps are always on the go. Don’t deprive yourself of security testing; find the security gaps in your apps.
Web Application Penetration Testing
Web Application cyber breaches happen in any, and every, industry.
Let us help you.
All of our Web App security tests go beyond international standards – including OWASP – and your test will come with a detailed final report.
Your detailed final report will include an executive summary, a listing of findings, risk ratings and remediation recommendations. A letter of accreditation can be provided upon your request.
Throughout the web application penetration testing process, automated, as well as comprehensive manual testing, will be used to identify all application and business-logic related vulnerabilities.
Web applications frequently store sensitive information… and may even provide an external access point to your network.
Here at MainNerve, our penetration testing truly simulates the attacks of a real-world malicious hacker–which includes specialized vulnerability assessments, automated scans, and manual techniques.
These cyber services all work together to reduce false positives and identify application security gaps.

MainNerve’s web application penetration testing services are designed to improve the security of your web applications through a comprehensive, highly-manual, risk-based approach to identifying critical vulnerabilities. And at the end of the MainNerve web app pen test process, you will receive a detailed report that clearly defines the results of the test. MainNerve application security solutions are designed to help businesses realize a resilient application that can withstand sophisticated cyber threats.
The planning phase of Web Application Penetration Testing (WAPT) process includes establishing Rules of Engagement, communicating about on- and off-limit IPs and applications (Scoping), the overall timeline of the web application penetration test, and whether or not the test will be performed using White, Gray, or Black Box methodologies.
Once the planning phase is complete, architecture mapping and a complete web application scan are performed. This is the first true step of the web application pen test and is the foundation of an efficient and ethical attack. It is important to note that the web application is not directly engaged (or attacked) during this phase.
The mapping phase of the web application process takes place after reconnaissance and enables the ethical hacker to understand all facets of the target web application and associated infrastructure. During this phase, component relationships, logic flow, software, and versions are all examined. The tester will crawl the application(s) to identify its work flow, functionality and potential testing/injection points. Lastly, authentication mechanisms and session handling are examined to identify potential vulnerabilities.
During the discovery phase of the web application penetration testing, the ethical hacker takes an in-depth look at the target application(s) to find any additional information and potential vulnerabilities. This phase focuses heavily on finding common applications, user interfaces, information leakage, authentication systems, and error messages–also known as fingerprinting. Once fingerprinting is concluded, a web application vulnerability scan is performed in order to verify potential vulnerabilities and exploits. It is important to note that all tools and scrips for the exploitation phase are prepared during this step. That being said, the discovery phase is still technically nothing more than an information gathering and attack preparation phase.
The exploitation phase of the web app pen test process is where all the information gathered, tools selected, and the scripts prepared are then used to exploit flaws that allow security controls to be circumvented. The success of this step is highly dependent on the previous steps. MainNerve uses manual verification and other techniques to check all potential exploits, and if necessary, retest to validate results. The purpose of this phase is to provide proofs of concept regarding findings identified during the Discovery Phase, identify false positives, and (if within scope) gain control of the application.
At MainNerve, we consider reporting, the final phase of the web application penetration testing process, to be the most crucial phase. We take great care to ensure that we effectively communicate the value of our service and findings as thoroughly as possible. Our main goal is to ensure that all information from the WAPT is clearly understood and that a roadmap toward remediation/mitigation is well defined. A comprehensive final report detailing all testing information along with an executive summary is securely delivered at the conclusion of this phase.
Network penetration testing assists with the identification and examination of vulnerabilities for external, Internet-facing and internal, intranet systems. A network pen test will help determine whether an attack can exploit and compromise targeted systems. Take the next step to improving your business’ security with a network pen test.
MainNerve’s compliance solutions are designed to help fill one of the biggest challenges for businesses: staying in alignment with the exhaustive list of Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance (GRC) requirements. From PCI DSS and HIPAA, to CJIS and FINRA, MainNerve can help your business navigate the GRC landscape with specialized penetration tests.
Social engineering, in the context of information security, is commonly defined as the of persuasion and/or manipulation techniques in order to influence people into performing actions or divulging confidential information. Ensure that your business is secure by testing and evaluating your employees against general phishing and “spear-phishing” attacks.
What Our Clients Say
We value our professional relationship with MainNerve. Their employees are friendly and extremely responsive. They always take care of our clients as if they were their own, while maintaining the penetration and social engineering testing. We couldn’t ask for a better Cybersecurity partner.
In 12 years of tests, you are the first company that found anything higher than a low risk. Phone and cameras were never discovered in the test, let alone accessed. Great to always get a different perspective from a test.
This is a very well written report! Very impressive!
The report looks great!
I felt the whole project was done in a professional manner.
Sheena was very kind, quick with replies, and patient with my questions. That is why I also introduced your service to other company.
All the correspondence with MainNerve was great and the staff were very professional and helpful.
I appreciate the level of detail your team incorporates into your findings.
MainNerve crew is top notch.
Working with MainNerve has been great and I look forward to a long term partnership to maintain the integrity of our operations.
We had our backs to the wall on a “government” contact with an unreasonable time frame. MainNerve team understood the gravity of the problem and made the impossible happen. We are extremely grateful.
This is the second time we have engaged MainNerve. Both times they have done a great job and I would recommend them for pen testing. They were prompt and delivered the reporting required by our customers at part of our data security program. We will certainly use them in the future.
MainNerve provided an extremely fast turn around when speed was our biggest factor. The project went smoothly and I would highly recommend them!
I would highly recommend MainNerve for all of your network system testing needs. From my initial contact, all the way through the end of the services I received, everyone I encountered was courteous, professional, knowledgeable, patient, and very helpful. As a small business owner, who’s business was shut down as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, MainNerve’s service fees were extremely reasonable making it affordable to ensure my network is secure from hackers. I will definitely be a repeat customer!! Thanks MainNerve!!
Sheena was great in guiding us though what was a new process for us. A client had asked us for a third party penn test report and she was very helpful in helping us choose the correct product and in determining the scope.
I was quite pleasantly surprised by the engagement. I think the thing I liked best about it was that everyone at MainNerve really took the time to listen and understand what we did, why we were doing it, and our business goals. It gave us confidence that we were in the right hands.
