Security Testing Services
QACraft's security testing services find and prove vulnerabilities before attackers do — OWASP-aligned VAPT across web, API and authentication, with every finding CVSS-scored, CWE-mapped and paired with a fix and a retest.
what it is
What Is Security Testing?
Security testing is the disciplined practice of attacking your own systems — under control, with permission — to find the weaknesses before someone hostile does. It is the difference between learning about a vulnerability from a report you commissioned and learning about it from a breach notification, a regulator, or your customers.
QACraft's security testing services combine automated scanning for breadth with manual, expert testing for depth, aligned to the OWASP Top 10, OWASP API Top 10 and MASVS, the OSSTMM methodology and the MITRE ATT&CK framework. Every finding is CVSS-scored, CWE-mapped, proven with evidence, and paired with a fix.
This is the hub for our security work. Four focused disciplines sit underneath it, each answering a different question — and each with a dedicated deep-dive page linked below. Most engagements combine several of them around a release, an audit, or a compliance deadline.
our services
What We Offer
Security is several different questions, so we split it into focused disciplines — broadly finding weaknesses, proving their impact, hardening APIs, and locking down access — each with its own deep-dive page.
Don't just find it — prove it. We safely exploit vulnerabilities to demonstrate real-world impact, chaining flaws the way an attacker would. Explore penetration testing →
Find and catalogue weaknesses broadly across your surface, triaged and prioritised by severity — the foundation a pen test builds on. Explore vulnerability assessment →
Lock down the machine-to-machine surface against the OWASP API Top 10 — broken object-level auth, excessive data exposure, and more. Explore API security testing →
Probe login, sessions, tokens and access control — the most-attacked surface of any app — for bypass, privilege escalation and IDOR. Explore auth testing →
White-box review of source and configuration — secrets, headers, dependencies, IaC — to catch what black-box testing alone can miss.
Targeted testing that produces the evidence SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, GDPR and HIPAA require — mapped to the controls your auditors ask about.
Flexible engagement models
A scoped, fixed engagement for a release, an audit or a compliance deadline — full report, CVSS-scored findings and a remediation retest.
Ongoing security testing embedded in your release cycle, testing each change and tracking your risk posture release over release.
Security engineers who plug into your stack and SDLC under your leadership — scaled up or down as your roadmap demands.
tools & frameworks
Tools & Frameworks We Use
Tooling is chosen against your stack and scope in Phase 1 — and always backed by manual testing, because scanners alone miss business-logic and access-control flaws. Our typical toolkit spans recon, scanning and exploitation:
The core proxy for manual web and API security testing.
Open-source scanner for automated baseline coverage.
Network and service discovery to map the attack surface.
Fast, template-driven scanning for known vulnerability patterns.
Infrastructure and configuration vulnerability assessment.
Focused, controlled testing for SQL-injection exposure.
Mobile app security testing aligned to OWASP MASVS.
Controlled, authorised exploitation to prove real impact.
why automate
Why Security Testing Matters
A single unpatched flaw can mean a data breach, a regulatory fine, and lost customer trust that takes years to rebuild. Security testing turns "we think we’re secure" into evidence you can act on and show an auditor. Here is what it changes:
Discover and close real vulnerabilities in a controlled test — not in an incident report, a ransom note, or a headline.
Penetration testing safely demonstrates what an attacker could actually reach, so you fix what matters instead of chasing scanner noise.
Every finding is severity-scored and CWE-mapped, so your team fixes the two criticals first — not all fourteen at once.
Generate the testing evidence SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, GDPR and HIPAA ask for — without a last-minute scramble.
Each finding ships with a clear reproduction and a concrete fix, so engineers can act immediately — then we retest to confirm.
A breach costs far more than a test. Proactive security protects the customer trust your business runs on.
our process
Our Security Testing Process
Every engagement follows the same disciplined path — and produces a concrete artifact at the end of each phase, so you always know exactly what you are getting.
Scope & Threat Model
We agree the rules of engagement, map your assets and attack surface, and build a threat model — so testing targets the risks that actually matter to your business, not a generic checklist.
→ artifact: scope, rules of engagement + threat modelRecon & Automated Scan
We enumerate the surface and run automated scanners across the OWASP Top 10 and API Top 10 to clear the noise fast — establishing a baseline and flagging where manual depth is needed.
→ artifact: surface map + triaged automated baselineManual Testing & Exploitation
Certified engineers test by hand where scanners are blind — broken access control, business-logic flaws, chained exploits and auth bypass — and safely prove real impact, not theoretical risk.
→ artifact: verified, proof-backed findingsReport, Remediate & Retest
Every finding ships CVSS-scored, CWE-mapped, with a clear reproduction and a developer-ready fix. After you remediate, we retest to confirm the issue is genuinely closed.

beyond the scanner
Manual Depth, AI-Augmented Coverage
A scanner is fast and thorough at the known and the obvious — but it cannot reason about business logic, broken access control, or chained exploits. That is exactly where real breaches happen, and exactly where automated-only testing gives a false sense of safety.
So we work both sides. Automated and AI-augmented tooling gives us breadth and speed across the OWASP Top 10 and API Top 10, clearing the noise so our engineers spend their time where it counts. Certified engineers then test by hand — the access-control bypass, the logic flaw, the auth gap a tool walks straight past.
The result is coverage with judgment: the breadth of automation and the depth of a human attacker, every finding verified by a person before it reaches your report.

Industries We Serve
We provide security testing for teams where a breach is an existential event — where sensitive data, money and regulation raise the stakes of every vulnerability.
why us
Why Choose QACraft for Security Testing
Teams choose QACraft when they want security engineers who prove and prioritise risk — not a scanner-as-a-service that dumps a PDF and walks away.
Testing aligned to OWASP (Top 10, API Top 10, MASVS), OSSTMM and MITRE ATT&CK — structured, repeatable coverage, not ad-hoc poking.
We test by hand for the business-logic, access-control and chained flaws that automated scanners are blind to.
Every finding is severity-rated and classified, with a reproduction and fix — a prioritised report, not a raw dump.
Reports built to support SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, GDPR and HIPAA — the evidence your auditors actually ask for.
Developer-ready remediation for each finding, then a retest to confirm it is genuinely closed — not just reported.
Security connects to your functional, automation and performance QA under one team — joined-up, not stitched together.
straight answers
Frequently Asked Questions
What is security testing?
Security testing is the practice of deliberately probing an application, API or system for vulnerabilities — the way an attacker would — and proving which ones are real. It answers the question that matters before a breach: where are we exposed, how bad is it, and what do we fix first? Findings are scored by severity and paired with a fix.
What's the difference between penetration testing, vulnerability assessment, API security and auth testing?
Vulnerability assessment finds and catalogues weaknesses broadly. Penetration testing (VAPT) goes further — it safely exploits them to prove real-world impact. API security testing focuses on the OWASP API Top 10 and machine-to-machine surface. Authentication & authorization testing targets login, sessions and access control. Each is a dedicated discipline — see penetration testing, vulnerability assessment, API security and authentication & authorization testing.
Which standards and methodologies do you follow?
Our testing is aligned to recognised frameworks — the OWASP Top 10, OWASP API Security Top 10 and OWASP MASVS for mobile, the OSSTMM methodology, and the MITRE ATT&CK knowledge base for adversary techniques — so coverage is structured and repeatable, not ad-hoc.
How are findings reported and scored?
Every finding is scored with CVSS for severity and mapped to a CWE weakness class, with a clear reproduction, evidence of impact, and a developer-ready remediation. You get a prioritised report — fix the criticals first — not a raw scanner dump.
Does security testing help with compliance?
Yes. Our reports support evidence for SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, GDPR and HIPAA requirements that mandate regular security testing.
Do you retest after we fix the issues?
Yes — remediation isn't done until it's verified. After your team applies the fixes, we retest the findings to confirm each one is genuinely closed and hasn't introduced a new gap.
