Manual OWASP-Aligned Web Application Security Testing for Australia

Web applications are still the single most common attack vector for Australian businesses. Customer portals, internal admin consoles, multi-tenant SaaS platforms, partner integration apps and customer-facing web stacks each carry their own business logic risks, broken authorization patterns and data exposure paths. Automated scanners catch the easy stuff, but every meaningful web application breach in the last decade involved logic flaws or chained vulnerabilities that no scanner ever detects. Codesecure delivers manual web application security testing built around the way real attackers operate.

Every Australia web application engagement is delivered under a signed Australian-law NDA by named OSCP and OSWE consultants, with findings mapped to OWASP Top 10, OWASP ASVS, SANS CWE Top 25, ACSC Essential Eight, APRA CPS 234, ISO 27001 and the Australian Privacy Principles. Pricing is published in clear AUD bands so procurement teams in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth can budget without a long sales cycle, and every engagement includes a free retest of critical and high findings within 30 days.

Frequently Asked Questions

Every Codesecure web application engagement covers the full OWASP Top 10 plus OWASP ASVS Level 2 controls including broken access control, cryptographic failures, injection, insecure design, security misconfiguration, vulnerable components, authentication failures, software and data integrity, security logging and monitoring, and SSRF. We add Australia-specific business logic testing, OAuth and SSO flow review, multi-tenant isolation testing for SaaS, and privacy-by-design review aligned to the Australian Privacy Principles.

Vulnerability scanners catch a baseline of known issues but miss every meaningful real-world breach pattern. Real Australian breaches in the last decade involved business logic flaws, chained vulnerabilities, broken access control and multi-step attacks that no automated tool detects. Codesecure delivers manual OSCP and OSWE-led testing where consultants spend days exploring your application's specific business logic, user flows and authorization model. Our reports include real exploitation proof of concepts, not generic scanner output.

Codesecure publishes transparent AUD price bands. A standard customer-facing web application runs AUD 4,500 to 8,000 fixed price. Larger SaaS platforms with many user roles, complex business logic and multi-tenant architecture run AUD 8,000 to 15,000. Enterprise applications with deep integration coverage run AUD 12,000 to 25,000. Every quote includes free retest of critical and high findings within 30 days.

Yes. Manual testing of OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, SAML 2.0, corporate IdP flows including Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, Auth0 and Azure AD B2C, plus session management, refresh token handling, scope and consent management, account linking and account takeover scenarios is part of our standard web application engagement when relevant to your application.
