Methodology

Repeatable coverage.
Expert context.

A scoped assessment combines appropriate techniques with clear evidence, severity and revalidation.

Automated testing

Automated testing provides repeatable discovery and coverage within the supported environment. Findings require interpretation in the context of the agreed assessment.

Expert-led testing

Manual testing adds context for authorization, business logic, exploitability, chained attacks and application-specific risks. The selected plan determines the testing depth.

Scope and coverage

The matrix below is a scoping framework. Confirm applicable areas, assets, exclusions and access before testing; it is not a promise that every test applies to every plan.

AreaCoverage to discussApplicability
AuthenticationLogin, account recovery and access conditionsConfirmed in scope
AuthorizationRole boundaries, object access and tenant separationConfirmed in scope
Session managementSession handling, expiry and applicable controlsConfirmed in scope
Injection and input handlingInput validation and applicable injection risksConfirmed in scope
Business logicApplication-specific workflows and abuse casesConfirmed in scope
API securityEndpoint access, data exposure and applicable API controlsConfirmed in scope

OWASP alignment

OWASP Top 10 supports awareness; it is not the complete methodology. ASVS-aligned verification can be considered when defining applicable web testing requirements.

Risk and severity

Document evidence, exploitability and business impact so teams can prioritise remediation. Confirm the severity model and reporting criteria during scoping.

Revalidation

Retest reported findings after fixes and record their outcomes. Revalidation allowances depend on the assessment plan.
