Authentication & Sessions
Login flows, session handling, password controls, account recovery, and authentication boundaries.
Application security
Test the application logic scanners cannot understand.
Web applications concentrate sensitive data, identity, business logic, and internet exposure in one place. CenturionOps performs hands-on assessment of application behavior to identify exploitable weaknesses that automated scanning can overlook.
What we assess
Testing focused on the areas that drive the objective.
The exact scope is tailored to your environment, constraints, and desired outcome.
Authorization & Access Control
User roles, object access, privilege boundaries, and opportunities to access functionality or data outside an intended role.
Inputs, Logic & Configuration
Request handling, server-side controls, workflow abuse, security headers, configuration weaknesses, and common application vulnerability classes.
Methodology
A disciplined path from scope to actionable results.
01UnderstandIdentify application roles, workflows, important data, test accounts, exclusions, and business-critical functionality.
02MapExplore application routes, parameters, APIs, trust boundaries, and user-controlled inputs.
03TestPerform manual and tool-assisted testing of authentication, authorization, inputs, sessions, logic, and configuration.
04ExplainDocument reproducible findings with evidence, impact, remediation guidance, and prioritization.
What you receive
Results designed to support decisions and remediation.
Application Risk Summary
A high-level explanation of the most important application security risks.
Detailed Findings
Technical evidence, affected functionality, reproduction steps, and remediation recommendations.
Risk Prioritization
Clear distinction between exploitable issues, defense-in-depth gaps, and lower-impact observations.
Technical Readout
A walkthrough with developers, administrators, or security stakeholders.
Typical engagement flow
Simple coordination. Clear boundaries. Useful outcomes.
Scoping & authorization
Define objectives, targets, access, exclusions, contacts, testing windows, and rules of engagement.
Controlled assessment
Perform the agreed testing while maintaining communication around material observations or scope-sensitive issues.
Reporting & readout
Deliver findings, evidence, priorities, and recommended next steps, followed by a stakeholder review.
Frequently asked questions
What clients typically want to know.
Exact details depend on scope and environment, but these answers cover the most common engagement questions.
Do you need source code?
Not necessarily. A black-box or authenticated assessment can be performed without source code. If source-assisted testing is desired, that can be scoped separately.
Can you test authenticated functionality?
Yes. Providing test accounts for representative roles allows deeper testing of authorization, workflow, and account-level controls.
Do you test APIs?
API endpoints used by the application can be included when they fall within the agreed scope.
Will you test production?
Production testing can be performed when authorized, but scope and techniques should reflect the application's sensitivity and availability requirements.
Web Application Assessment
Have an application you need independently tested?
Tell us what you need to assess and the outcome you are trying to achieve. We can help define a practical scope around it.
