Description
VAPT – Web + API
By Sherlocked Security – Offensive Security & Threat Intelligence Experts
Full Service Description
Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) – Web + API is a focused security engagement designed to identify, validate, and demonstrate exploitable vulnerabilities across web applications and application programming interfaces (APIs).
Sherlocked Security delivers advanced Web & API VAPT services covering customer-facing applications, admin portals, backend APIs, SaaS platforms, and third-party integrations.
Our engagement follows a structured, evidence-driven methodology aligned with internationally recognized frameworks and best practices, including:
-
OWASP Top 10
-
OWASP API Security Top 10
-
National Institute of Standards and Technology SP 800-115
The assessment combines automated vulnerability scanning with deep manual penetration techniques to simulate real-world attacker behavior. All findings are validated to eliminate false positives and prioritized based on exploitability, business impact, and threat exposure.
We evaluate authentication and session management mechanisms, access control logic, input validation controls, business logic workflows, API authorization models, token handling, data exposure risks, and integration security. The objective is to uncover real attack paths and provide actionable remediation guidance aligned with secure development and DevSecOps practices.
The engagement concludes with a comprehensive technical report and executive summary, including risk-ranked findings, proof-of-concept evidence, and a prioritized remediation roadmap.
