OWASP
OWASP-based penetration testing
Find critical security risks before attackers exploit them. At Haxoris we specialize in penetration tests built on world-recognized OWASP standards. We validate the resilience of your web applications and APIs against real threats.

OWASP
What is OWASP and why is it key to your security?
OWASP (Open Web Application Security Project) is an international non-profit organization dedicated to improving software security. Its recommendations and methodologies are considered the gold standard in cybersecurity.
For us at Haxoris, OWASP is not just a list of vulnerabilities. It is the foundation of our offensive security approach - transparent, systematic, and focused on real risks that threaten your business. By using proven methodologies, we ensure our tests are consistent, comprehensive, and deliver results you can trust.
OWASP Top 10
OWASP Top 10: Focus on the most critical threats
The foundation of our testing is OWASP Top 10 - a list of the ten most serious security risks for web applications. This list, regularly updated by the expert community, allows us to prioritize threats with the greatest impact. Our ethical hackers systematically assess your application for each of these vulnerabilities.
Here is the current OWASP Top Ten (2021) we focus on:
| Risk | Description |
|---|---|
| A01:2021 - Broken Access Control | Insufficient access control that allows attackers to access data or functions they should not be able to use. |
| A02:2021 - Cryptographic Failures | Errors in cryptography implementation that expose sensitive data such as passwords, personal information, or payment details. |
| A03:2021 - Injection | Vulnerabilities where attackers can insert and execute malicious code (e.g., SQL injection), gaining control over the database or system. |
| A04:2021 - Insecure Design | Fundamental design flaws that cannot be fixed with a simple code change and require architectural changes. |
| A05:2021 - Security Misconfiguration | Incorrect configuration of servers, frameworks, or applications that opens the door to attacks, often due to default settings. |
| A06:2021 - Vulnerable and Outdated Components | Use of libraries or components with known vulnerabilities that attackers actively seek. |
| A07:2021 - Identification and Authentication Failures | Weaknesses in login processes and session management that allow attackers to take over legitimate user identities. |
| A08:2021 - Software and Data Integrity Failures | Flaws that allow attackers to manipulate data or software, for example during update processes. |
| A09:2021 - Security Logging and Monitoring Failures | Insufficient logging and monitoring of security events, making it difficult to detect and investigate attacks. |
| A10:2021 - Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) | A vulnerability that allows attackers to force the application server to send requests into internal networks or to external systems. |
OWASP ecosystem
More than Top 10: Comprehensive security assessment
While OWASP Top 10 is a great starting point, real security requires a deeper view. Our team integrates other key OWASP projects and tools to ensure comprehensive coverage.
OWASP ASVS
We use OWASP ASVS as a detailed checklist to verify security controls and perform in-depth testing.
OWASP API Top 10
We test risks specific to APIs and protect your critical data channels.
OWASP ZAP & Dependency Check
We combine manual expertise with dynamic analysis and checks for vulnerable third-party libraries.
OWASP SAMM
We help organizations improve security across the software development lifecycle.
Our process
Our OWASP penetration testing process
Our approach is transparent and effective. We work with your team to ensure testing runs smoothly and delivers maximum value.
Preparation and scoping (test scope)
Together we define goals, scope, and testing rules. We create a threat model specific to your application and business context.
Active testing and analysis
Our certified ethical hackers combine automated tools with manual vulnerability validation. We test against OWASP Top 10, ASVS, and other relevant methodologies.
Reporting and recommendations
We produce a detailed report that includes an executive summary and technical details for developers. Each vulnerability is described, its impact rated, and concrete remediation steps are proposed.
Retest and remediation verification
After fixes are implemented we perform a free retest to confirm vulnerabilities were resolved. We provide final confirmation of the system's security.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
01 What exactly is OWASP Top 10?
OWASP Top 10 is a globally recognized document that identifies the ten most critical security risks for web applications. It is created from data provided by hundreds of organizations and thousands of experts.
02 Does OWASP testing replace other security standards?
No. OWASP is a set of recommendations and methodologies, not a formal certification standard like ISO 27001 or PCI DSS. Testing according to OWASP helps meet technical requirements of these standards and strengthens overall cyber resilience in line with regulations such as NIS2.
03 What deliverables will we receive?
You will receive a comprehensive report with an executive summary for leadership, detailed technical findings mapped to OWASP categories, risk ratings, and specific remediation recommendations. The service includes one free retest after fixes.
04 Is your testing safe for production environments?
Yes, all our procedures are designed to be safe and minimize any impact on your systems. We always operate according to agreed rules.
Protect your digital assets with professionals
Do not wait until an attacker discovers a vulnerability in your application. With our OWASP-based penetration test you gain a clear view of your security posture and a concrete plan to improve it.
