Application Security Testing Services for Every Layer of Your App

Application security testing brings together the checks that keep your software safe: penetration testing of web, mobile and API layers, source code review and secure design review. Scantra Security acts as one security assessment partner across your applications, so findings are consistent and your developers get one clear remediation plan.

Why a programme beats one-off tests

One-off tests leave gaps between releases. A programme sets a testing rhythm, tracks findings over time and helps developers stop repeating the same mistakes. It also makes budgeting predictable and gives auditors a clear history of testing.

Cybersecurity testing aligned to your SDLC

We can test before major releases, after architecture changes or on a fixed schedule. Findings can be delivered into your issue tracker so fixes follow your normal engineering workflow.

Standards we follow

  • OWASP Top 10 and ASVS
  • OWASP MASVS for mobile
  • OWASP API Security Top 10
  • NIST SP 800-115
  • CVSS v3.1 scoring

How we work

  1. 1. Programme planning

    Map applications, risk levels and release cycles.

  2. 2. Testing

    Manual testing per application, prioritised by risk.

  3. 3. Report and free retest

    CVSS-rated findings with evidence and fixes, then a free retest and updated report once your team has remediated.

  4. 4. Quarterly review

    Trends, recurring issues and developer training suggestions.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between SAST, DAST and pentesting?

SAST scans code, DAST scans a running app automatically, and penetration testing is manual exploitation by experts. We combine all three where useful.

Can you work with our CI/CD pipeline?

Yes, we can align testing with release cycles and deliver findings into your tracker.

Do you offer developer training?

We run debrief sessions explaining each finding and how to prevent it.
