Application Security Risk Assessment
An industry leading approach to securing your organization’s software applications
Based on OWASP’s Application Security Verification Standard (ASVS), our risk assessment services provide an in-depth analysis of your application’s current security posture, providing a clear path forward to securing your organization’s most valuable assets.
Our AppSec team is built of experienced security engineers with software development backgrounds, who can help you dive deep into your application’s security issues. You can expect extensive knowledge across a wide range of popular programming languages and technologies to help you confidently secure any type of web, mobile or other application.
Our Process:
1. Discovery
Understanding the architecture of an application is essential to ensuring no potential threats go unnoticed during the assessment process. Our security consultants will work closely with your team to get an understanding of your application to inform our approach. This can include hands-on design workshopping and full documentation for your organization.
2. Threat Modelling
Based on the security design output, threat modelling will be conducted to identify key threat scenarios specific to your application. We use the STRIDE scheme to classify threat scenarios and a DREAD model to assign the specific impact and likelihood levels to determine the risk for each identified issue, which will be reviewed with your team.
3. Pentesting
Using OWASP’s detailed ASVS assurance criteria our security team will build and execute test cases using manual and automated methods in order to verify each threat scenario and identify the actual risks to your business.
Our Output:
Once our process is complete your team can expect a detailed Application Security Risk Assessment (ASRA) report that contains the findings from the threat modelling and security testing exercises.
Our ASRA’s clearly outline security risks based on impact and likelihood, allowing your team to easily prioritize what’s most important to your organization.
This report also comes equipped with recommended controls to support business risk management decisions.
