Web Application Vulnerability Testing
Why Web App Vulnerability Testing is Essential for Your Business
As cyber threats are becoming more sophisticated, web application vulnerability scanning is becoming essential for any business with externally facing web apps, its crucial for identifying and mitigating security vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. Regular testing helps businesses to:
Protect Sensitive Data: Safeguard your valuable data from breaches and unauthorised access.
Maintain Compliance: Ensure adherence to industry regulations and standards, avoiding hefty fines and legal repercussions.
Enhance Security Posture: Continuously improve your defences against evolving threats.
How do applications become vulnerable?
Over time frameworks, coding libries, databases and web servers can become susceptible to emerging cyber threats. Regular vulnerability testing will highlight these risks to our team who can then upgrade, update or recode as needed to protect the application moving forwards.
Companies may need to protect custom software used in their businesses and as part of their compliances, such as ISO 27001.
ISO 27001
ISO 27001 is a compliance standard managed by the International Organization for Standardization. To comply with ISO 27001 your business must create an Information Security Management System (ISMS). The goal of ISO 27001 is to assess the risks to your organization and then mitigate them by establishing effective risk management processes.
ISO 27001 vulnerability management
Security control A.12.6.1 covers the details of technical vulnerability management. Some of the processes you will need to establish for an ISO vulnerability management program include:
