What is a Web Application Security Audit?
A web application security audit is a structured, hands-on examination of your web application to identify exploitable vulnerabilities before attackers do. It combines automated scanning to find known issues quickly with manual penetration testing by experienced consultants to uncover business logic flaws, authentication bypasses and chained vulnerabilities that scanners cannot detect.
Codesecure's web application VAPT is delivered by OSCP-certified consultants under signed NDA. Every engagement starts with a 30-minute scoping call, a fixed-price proposal within 48 hours and clear milestones from day one. The output is an executive-ready report plus developer-actionable fixes, mapped to OWASP and your compliance frameworks.
Why It Matters
Web applications are the most common entry point for attackers. The 2025 Verizon DBIR attributes 35%+ of breaches to web application compromise. For Indian businesses, web application breaches now trigger DPDP Act notification obligations within hours, plus reputational and contractual exposure with enterprise customers.
Regular web application VAPT is no longer optional, it is a baseline expectation from enterprise procurement, regulators (RBI, SEBI, IRDAI), and compliance frameworks (ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS). What used to be a once-a-year exercise is now expected quarterly for internet-exposed applications handling customer or payment data.

Our Methodology
Every engagement follows a 5-phase methodology aligned with PTES, NIST SP 800-115 and OWASP testing guides:
1
Scoping & Reconnaissance
Free scoping call, signed NDA, fixed-price proposal in 48 hours. Asset discovery, OSINT, attack surface mapping.
2
Threat Modeling
Targeted threat models against OWASP Top 10, MITRE ATT&CK, your specific business logic and applicable compliance frameworks.
3
Automated & Manual Testing
Combined automated scanning (Burp Suite Pro, Nuclei, custom tooling) and deep manual testing by OSCP-certified consultants. Real exploitation evidence, not just scanner output.
4
Reporting & Walkthrough
Executive summary plus technical report mapped to OWASP, ASVS, CVSS v3.1 and your compliance frameworks. Live walkthrough with your engineering team.
5
Retest & Sign-Off
Free retest of all critical and high findings within 30 days. Formal sign-off letter and VAPT certificate. Customer data deleted 90 days after sign-off.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is a Web App Security Audit important?
Web applications are the #1 breach entry point in 2026. A formal audit identifies exploitable vulnerabilities before attackers find them, protects customer data, satisfies enterprise procurement requirements, and is increasingly mandatory under DPDP, ISO 27001, SOC 2 and PCI DSS frameworks.
How often should we conduct a Web App Security Audit?
Annual at minimum, quarterly for internet-exposed applications handling customer or payment data, and immediately after major releases or architectural changes. Many Indian enterprises now run a continuous pentest model with quarterly deep tests plus on-change validation.
How long does a typical engagement take?
Most web applications complete in 1-2 weeks total, based on application size and user-role complexity. Smaller apps finish in 5-7 days; enterprise multi-tier apps may take 2 weeks. We respond instantly with no delay, so testing typically starts the same day or next business day after scoping.
What does it cost in INR?
Pricing starts from INR 20,000 and varies based on application size, complexity and number of user roles. We commit to a fixed price after a free 30-minute scoping call, no hidden fees, no per-finding surprises. Enterprise applications quoted separately.
How quickly can you start?
Instant response, no delay. We typically respond within an hour during business hours, send a fixed-price proposal within 24-48 hours under signed NDA, and start active testing the same day or next business day after sign-off.
Will testing affect our production environment?
We strongly prefer testing against a staging or pre-production environment mirroring production. Production testing is supported but requires careful scoping, blackout windows and exclusion lists to avoid service disruption. We have never caused a production outage on a properly scoped engagement.
What happens after the audit is completed?
You receive an executive summary, a developer-actionable technical report, and a VAPT certificate suitable for customer and regulator evidence. We also provide a free engineering walkthrough and free retest of all critical/high findings within 30 days.
Is my data and source code kept confidential?
Always. Every engagement starts with a mutual NDA. We store customer data only in an encrypted vault, access is restricted to assigned consultants, all data is deleted 90 days after sign-off, and we maintain ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification covering our internal data handling.
