Security testing services

Security testing services that find risks before release

Netofficials provides security testing services for web apps, APIs, mobile apps and SaaS platforms, so you launch with prioritised risks and a clear fix list. Testing sits inside one cross-functional team, so findings reach the engineers who can fix them. Send a short brief and we will return a written scope.

Team
Security testers sit inside one cross-functional team with front-end, back-end, mobile, QA and DevOps engineers, so findings reach the people who fix them.
Contact
A named delivery lead owns day-to-day progress and communication, so you never chase testers and developers separately.
Ownership
IP assignment is confirmed in the contract before testing or any build work begins.
Reviews
Each sprint ends with a client-facing review, and the communication window and update cadence are agreed before work starts.
What you get

Security testing that ends in a prioritised fix list

Scoped security assessment

We start by writing down what gets tested: your web application, APIs and mobile apps, and the integrations around them. You see the scope in writing before any testing begins, so you know which surfaces are covered, which are not, and how deep we go. Cost and timing follow from that scope, not from a generic package.

Vulnerability findings you can act on

Our testers check for common weaknesses such as broken access control, injection flaws, weak authentication and exposed data. Each finding comes with the steps to reproduce it, a priority and a recommended fix. Your engineers get a list they can work through, and you get a clear picture of which risks matter before release.

Fixes and retests inside one team

Security testing at Netofficials sits within a single cross-functional team covering front-end, back-end, mobile, QA and DevOps. Findings go straight to the engineers who can fix them, and your named delivery lead keeps you informed. After fixes, we retest the affected areas, so you know whether each issue is actually closed.

Who it suits

Security testing for the release in front of you

  • A new web, API or mobile release that needs checking before launch
  • An enterprise customer's security questionnaire or pre-audit review
  • A live SaaS platform whose risks have never been tested

How a testing engagement runs

How a security test runs, step by step

  1. Scope

    You and your Netofficials delivery lead agree which web, API and mobile surfaces are tested, which environments are used and what stays out of bounds. The written scope also records your release date or customer security review.

    You receive
    • Written test scope
    • Surfaces and exclusions
    • Initial estimate

    You approve the written test scope

  2. Test

    Our QA engineers probe the agreed surfaces for weaknesses such as broken access control, injection flaws, insecure session handling and exposed data. They work against a staging environment, and you can raise questions with your delivery lead along the way.

    You receive
    • Test plan
    • Risk areas to probe
    • Access and environment notes

    You confirm the test environment and access

  3. Report

    Each finding is written up with how to reproduce it, the affected area and a priority ranking, so your team can see what to fix first. We walk you through the findings in a client-facing review.

    You receive
    • Interim findings updates
    • Test execution updates
    • Prioritised findings log

    You review and prioritise the findings

  4. Fix

    Findings go to the engineers who can resolve them, whether that is your own team or a Netofficials team covering front-end, back-end, mobile and DevOps. The fixed areas are then checked again against the original findings.

    You receive
    • Retest results
    • Security testing report
    • Fix-verification notes

    You accept the findings and agree the fix priorities

  5. Handover

    Netofficials hands over the final security report with supporting documentation and access details, and plans a recheck of the fixes your engineers have made. You review what was found, what was fixed and what remains open.

    You receive
    • Final findings summary
    • Handover documentation
    • Deployment access handover

    You receive the full report and handover

Decisions before estimates

What shapes your security testing scope and estimate

Attack surface and user roles

We list the web apps, APIs and mobile apps in scope, plus the user roles and permission levels to test. Role boundaries are where access-control flaws tend to sit, so we check them early. You get a written scope that says what will be tested and what will not, before any testing starts.

Integrations and sensitive data

Third-party services, payment or identity providers and the data your product stores all affect risk and effort. We map them with you so testing covers the connections that matter. Cost and timing follow from this surface, so both are agreed before work begins, with nothing quoted blind.

Test depth, reporting and retesting

A pre-release check, a pre-audit review and a deeper assessment need different effort. We agree the depth, how findings are prioritised and who receives the report. Because QA and engineering sit in one team, findings go to the engineers who fix them. After scoping, we will recommend a different route if it suits you better.

Three engagement models

Choose how your security testing is delivered

Project delivery

A fixed-price security test of a defined release, with the written scope setting which web, API and mobile surfaces are covered, suited to a launch, a major release or a pre-audit check.

  • Fixed price agreed against a written scope that names the surfaces under test
  • Findings reviewed with you at the end of each sprint, so fixes start early
  • Anything beyond the agreed surfaces is quoted separately before testing starts

Dedicated team

A dedicated India-based team that tests continuously alongside your developers, suited to SaaS products that ship often and need security checked on every release.

  • Testers matched to your stack, with findings passed straight to the engineers who fix them
  • Testers and engineers share sprints with your product owner, so findings go straight into the backlog
  • Source code and IP assigned to you in the contract, covering any test scripts and fixes we build

Staff augmentation

Individual QA and security-minded engineers who join your team and work in your tracker and pipeline, suited to teams that have a process but lack testing capacity.

  • Security testers join your team for a defined surface, such as an API or a mobile app
  • Findings logged in your tracker and reviewed in your release process
  • Communication window and update cadence agreed with your team before testing starts
Technology around the test

Testing tools matched to your stack

We choose security testing tools after reading your stack, not before. The written discovery scope records which tools will probe your web app, API or mobile build, based on your requirements, your existing systems and who will maintain the product after release. You see the tool choices before testing starts, so nothing runs against your environment that you have not approved. If another approach would suit your risk profile better, we will recommend it after scoping.

Before you enquire

Security testing questions, answered before you enquire

What do you need from us to start a security test?

You need to tell us which web, API or mobile surfaces to test and why you are testing now, such as a launch, a major release, a customer security questionnaire or a pre-audit check. We then write a discovery scope that sets out the surfaces, the integrations involved, the depth of testing and what is excluded, and you approve it before any testing starts. If a mutual NDA should come first because the details are sensitive, say so in your brief and we will put it in place before you share them.

What decides the cost and timeline of security testing?

Cost and timeline are driven by how many surfaces are in scope (web app, APIs, mobile apps), how many integrations and user roles they involve, and how deep you want the testing to go. We do not quote a price until the written scope exists. Scope, assumptions, review milestones and commercial terms are agreed before work begins, and you can choose fixed-price project delivery, a dedicated team or staff augmentation.

Who owns the findings, and who will we talk to?

You own the work. IP assignment is confirmed in the contract before testing begins, and documentation and access are handed over at release. One named delivery lead owns day-to-day progress and communication. We agree the communication window, meeting schedule and update cadence with you up front, and each sprint ends with a client-facing review. Because testers sit in the same team as our engineers and DevOps, findings reach the people who can fix them.

Get a written security testing scope

Send us a short brief on the web app, API, mobile app or SaaS platform you need tested, and what is driving the timing: a launch, a major release or a customer security review. We reply with questions and a proposed written scope covering surfaces, depth and priorities. You see exactly what will be tested before any work starts. If another route would serve you better, we will say so after scoping.
