Website Security Audit (Penetration Testing)

Website security audit helps enterprises to evaluate the security of their web system by simulating attacks and then review the code of the web application. An active analysis of the web application is done to check for any security flaws and loopholes that can be plugged through proper security enforcement policies. In order to secure a website, it is necessary that the target application is first studied to know how it works and the scope behind it.

Website Security Audit Check

Any website security audit exercise will have two phases of testing, as follows:

Step 1: Here, the security gaps are first identified in the system by both the manual and automated processes and a set of countermeasure solutions are undertaken to bridge the gaps. An automated scan with a good penetration tool helps to perform various tasks and identify the corresponding security gaps. The tasks typically include the following:

Authentication testing

Authorization testing

API usage testing

Data validation testing

Source Code Design Check

Web Services Check

Session Management Testing

Denial of Services testing

Input Validation check

Resource Usage testing etc
