Web Application Penetration Testing Services
Most web application security tests follow the same script. A scanner runs overnight. A consultant pastes the output into a template, adds some color-coded risk ratings, and ships a PDF. The client checks the box, assumes they’re covered, and moves on.
Nobody reads the report. Nobody fixes anything. The auditor accepts it because the control is satisfied. The engineering team ignores it because the findings are noise. And six months later, an enterprise prospect’s procurement team asks for methodology documentation and remediation evidence, and the report that cleared the SOC 2 auditor doesn’t clear that bar.
Asteros builds pentest reports that hold up at every stage.
We’ve Seen Every Compliance Trigger
SOC 2 is the most common reason a CTO at a growing SaaS company starts looking for a penetration test. The observation window opens, the auditor asks for evidence, and suddenly there’s a deadline. We’ve run a lot of these engagements, we know how auditors evaluate them, and we know what a report needs to include to clear that review cleanly and on time.
ISO 27001 certifications are increasingly common among companies selling into European markets or enterprise accounts that require it. The standard has specific penetration testing expectations, and the report needs to map to them. We handle that.
HIPAA and HITRUST bring their own requirements for documented risk evaluation and technical controls testing. Healthcare SaaS companies preparing for these frameworks get an engagement scoped around what those frameworks actually require.
PCI-DSS has specific penetration testing requirements under Requirements 6.1 and 6.6. If you’re handling cardholder data, the bar for what counts as a qualifying test is well-defined and we know what it looks like.
And if you fall into the category of people who think compliance security theater is a waste of money but you have to do it anyway, and you’d rather get something real out of the spend while you’re at it, that’s a good instinct. The compliance report and actual security improvement aren’t in tension. They’re both products of doing the work properly.
How the Engagement Works
We start with a scoping call where you walk us through the application. We define scope, lock in dates around your audit window or deal deadline, and you get a flat-fee service agreement with clear deliverables.
Testing and report preparation take about two weeks. You have direct access to the senior practitioner throughout, not an account manager who relays messages. If something serious surfaces, you hear about it immediately.
What Gets Delivered
The report is built for three audiences:
Your engineers get step-by-step technical findings with validated proof of concept, reproduction steps, and remediation guidance written for your actual stack.
Your auditors get a structured ASVS assessment that maps findings to specific control deficiencies, documents what the application is already doing well, and shows exactly what work was performed. When findings are light, that assessment is what demonstrates the test was real and complete rather than cursory.
Your enterprise prospects’ procurement teams get an executive summary documenting methodology, severity ratings, and remediation status in the format they increasingly require. The report that satisfies your SOC 2 auditor is also the one that passes a vendor security review without follow-up questions.
After your team remediates, a free retest validates the fixes and produces clean evidence of identification, remediation, and validation. A sanitized attestation letter is available for customer sharing without exposing technical detail.
Who This Is For
B2B SaaS companies at the point where compliance and enterprise sales are happening at the same time. Usually 50 to 250 people. Usually a CTO or VP of Engineering who owns security by default because no one else does, navigating a compliance framework for the first time, with an enterprise customer or auditor asking for a pentest report on a timeline with no slack in it.
