Private Pen Testing

Web Application Penetration Testing - Service 

We profile your web site/application from the perspective of a skilled ethical hacker with the aim to expose its most likely threats and weaknesses. We will also examine your business processes, information flows and the technology that supports your web application.

This allows us to determine the resilience of your web site and web app to malicious attempts intending to penetrate your information systems.

Best Practice Is Not Enough 

Encipher penetration testing service (aka ethical hacking) will test the security of your site. Security must be considered carefully from the very beginning of the idea all the way through SDLC and beyond.

We understand that regrettably many projects have limited resources including money, time and talent which often means that security is left out of the SDLC. However, this leaves your web applications, business and clients all vulnerable to cyber attacks, hackers and bad actors.

Regardless of whether your web site or application is live or simply in the planning and development phase, our team at Encipher will be happy and capable to provide a full range of project related services.

  • Reduce the risk and legal ramifications of a data breach, which may be caused by security flaws

  • We provide a threat model and actionable recommendations for your developers to follow during development, or when implementing upgrades
