What Makes Our Pentesting Unique

We don’t stop at surface-level scans. We approach your systems as real attackers would—combining manual exploitation with advanced tools and techniques. Our pentest as a service (PTaaS) simulates diverse threat scenarios to test the resilience of your infrastructure, code, and configurations.

Minimize Downtime Costs Identify flaws before they lead to service interruptions, data loss, or legal exposure. Make Informed Decisions Use real-world vulnerability insights to prioritize fixes and allocate engineering effort more effectively. Secure Your Updates Test the impact of critical software updates and ensure patches don’t introduce new vulnerabilities. Preserve Brand Reputation Reduce the risk of PR fallout from avoidable breaches. Core Benefits of Our Penetration Testing Services Strengthen Compliance Achieve and maintain compliance with standards like SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, and GDPR. Launch with Confidence Validate your product's security before release to prevent user data exposure and post-launch firefighting.

Our Penetration Testing Services

Web Application Penetration Testing

Simulate internal and external attacks against your web application to assess its exposure to real-world threats. We test authentication flows, input validation, session management, and misconfigurations.

Static Application Security Testing (SAST)

We examine your source code without executing it, identifying insecure coding patterns, unvalidated inputs, and weak encryption before they reach production.

Network Penetration Testing

We imitate cybercriminal tactics to detect open ports, misconfigured firewalls, and exposure of critical data from outside your organization.

Cloud Security Penetration Testing

Expert penetration testing uncovers vulnerabilities in cloud infrastructure, configurations, IAM, and APIs—securing AWS, Azure, GCP, and more.

Mobile Application Penetration Testing

Our QA engineers reveal security flaws in iOS and Android apps, safeguarding user data and preventing unauthorized access with thorough pentesting.

API Penetration Testing

Thorough evaluation detects common vulnerabilities in APIs, like injection and broken authentication, keeping your backend safe from threats.

Pentesting Methods We Use

Black Box Testing

This testing method is perfect for simulating an attack by an external hacker who has no access to the source code and only a limited understanding of the network structure, software protection, and other security controls.

Grey Box Testing

Here, the attacker is aware of some internal processes and may have access to certain functionality. This scenario implies that the hacker is either a malicious employee or an external intruder who uses someone’s compromised credentials.

White Box Testing

This type of pentesting presupposes admin rights, access to server configuration files, software architecture, knowledge of data encryption mechanisms, etc. It is meant to discover those vulnerabilities hiding deep under the surface.

Penetration Testing Types We Provide

External Pen Testing

Identify vulnerabilities in your public-facing infrastructure—such as websites, APIs, and cloud services—before attackers can exploit them. Our team simulates real-world threats to assess your exposure and provide concrete recommendations to strengthen your cyber defenses.

Internal Penetration Testing

Detect weaknesses that could be exploited from within your network, such as by disgruntled employees or compromised devices. We assess your company’s internal security posture, simulate lateral movement, and highlight gaps that may allow unauthorized access to sensitive data or critical systems.

Social Engineering Testing

Evaluate your team’s readiness against phishing, pretexting, and other manipulation tactics. We conduct ethical social engineering tests—including simulated phishing campaigns and physical attempts to access restricted areas—to measure awareness and improve your human firewall.

Penetration Testing for Compliance

Meet industry regulations with targeted penetration tests tailored for frameworks like PCI DSS, GDPR, HIPAA, and ISO 27001. We help you address specific audit requirements, remediate findings efficiently, and maintain compliance while reducing risk.

FAQ

Why can’t I rely on automated vulnerability scanners alone?

Because they only check for known issues. Pentesting validates what’s truly exploitable.

Is penetration testing disruptive to our systems?

Not with QAwerk. We plan carefully, test in staging environments, and never interrupt production unless you request it.

How is pen testing different from vulnerability scanning?

Scanners list weaknesses. Pen tests show how those weaknesses can be exploited and what real damage they could cause.

Can we do our own penetration testing?

Only if your team includes experienced ethical hackers. Otherwise, external pen testing is more objective, efficient, and compliant.

How long does a penetration test take?

Depending on the scope, 5 to 15 business days for most apps.

What steps should a business take after receiving a penetration testing report?

Upon receiving a penetration test report, businesses should prioritize and remediate critical vulnerabilities immediately, patching systems and updating security measures. It’s crucial to then verify these remediations through re-testing and update internal security policies and procedures based on the findings. Finally, document everything and schedule regular penetration tests to ensure continuous security improvement.

QAwerk delivered super work. I’m happy with that. They did the regression testing really well. They helped improve our product, discovering problems during the whole development process.

It wasn't like we had the QAwerk testing team and Magic Mountain team. It was one team working together. The communication was incredible from the very early stages.

I would recommend QAwerk for many reasons but I think two stand out - the quick seamless onboarding experience, this is absolutely key for a team that is outsourcing something so critical as QA. But also the smart use of different communication channels - they were used effectively, with respect, with a really thoughtful mindset.
