Security Testing - QAwerk
Our QA company offers comprehensive software security testing services that integrate into your everyday QA cycles, catching vulnerabilities early alongside functional, performance, and UX checks. We align our approach with OWASP guidelines (including the OWASP Top 10) to verify authentication, authorization, availability, integrity, confidentiality, and non-repudiation across web, mobile, and API. We use both automated and manual cybersecurity testing and share best practices to keep your app safe.

Our Security Testing Services

Web App Security Testing

Web App Security Testing

Our security testing company protects web applications against the OWASP Top 10 — injection, XSS, CSRF, broken access control, and session flaws. Manual and automated checks keep your web app resilient without slowing releases

Mobile App Security Testing

Mobile App Security Testing

QAwerk’s security testing services validate iOS and Android apps for secure storage, transport-layer protection, permissions, and platform-specific risks. Your mobile app stays safe on every device your users rely on.

API Security Testing

API Security Testing

Our security testing services cover REST and GraphQL endpoints: authentication, broken object-level authorization, rate limits, and data exposure. Reliable APIs mean partners and mobile clients connect without opening new attack surfaces.

Website Security Testing

As part of our security testing services, website checks harden public-facing sites against injection, XSS, CSRF, misconfigurations, and risky third-party scripts. Your visitors get a site that protects their data at every interaction.

Access Control & Authentication Testing

QAwerk’s security testing company verifies roles, permissions, MFA, session handling, and password-reset flows. Only the right users reach the right data, and privilege escalation paths are closed before release.

Vulnerability Scanning & Configuration Review

Our security testing services combine automated scans with expert-led review of HTTP headers, TLS, CORS, error handling, and cloud configuration. Known CVEs, misconfigurations, and outdated components are caught early in the QA cycle.

Selected Cases

These projects show how QAwerk validates security-sensitive products across fintech, identity verification, and healthcare, where authentication, data exposure, and access-control issues carry the highest cost.

Why Choose QAwerk as Your Security Testing Company

OWASP-Aligned Methodology

Our security testing services follow OWASP guidelines end-to-end, covering the OWASP Top 10, ASVS, and MASVS checklists so findings map to the standards your auditors and clients already recognize.

Manual Expertise + Automated Coverage

Skilled engineers combine hands-on testing with automated tooling (OWASP ZAP, Burp Suite, Postman) to catch both the classic vulnerabilities scanners find and the logic flaws only a human notices.

Compliance-Ready Reporting

Findings come with severity, reproduction steps, and remediation guidance developers can act on immediately, mapped to GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, or ISO 27001 controls when your project requires it.

Security Built Into Everyday QA

Instead of one-off audits, our security testing company integrates checks into your regular QA cycles. Vulnerabilities surface early: before release, alongside functional, performance, and UX bugs.

Coverage Across Web, Mobile, and API

One team tests the full product surface: web apps, iOS and Android, and the APIs behind them, so nothing falls through the cracks between platforms.

Confidentiality by Default

Every engagement starts with an NDA and strict access controls. Test data, credentials, and findings stay within a small, named team — no shared drives, no leaked reports.

The QA team has been a great help for the release of our new offering, Unfold for Brands. The team has really put themselves in the place of the user to find any bugs or user experience issues, mitigating any potential issues at launch.

Other Services We Provide

Penetration Testing Services

Our specialists simulate real-world attacks to expose exploitable weaknesses, chain vulnerabilities together, and prove business impact, going beyond what routine security testing surfaces.

Performance Testing

Our engineers stress your system under peak load and traffic spikes, catching stability and scalability issues that also expose your app to denial-of-service and resource-exhaustion risks.

Compliance Testing

We validate your product against GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, and ISO 27001 requirements, mapping every finding to the specific control your auditors expect to see evidence for.

Automated Testing

We build automated suites that plug into your CI/CD pipeline, so functional regressions and security regressions are caught on every commit rather than at the end of a release cycle.

API Testing

We verify functional correctness, contracts, and error handling for REST and GraphQL APIs, giving your integrations a solid foundation before layering security-specific checks on top.

Manual QA Testing

Skilled testers explore your product the way a real user or a real attacker would, uncovering logic flaws and edge-case behaviors that automated scanners consistently miss.

FAQ

What is security testing?

Security testing is a set of QA activities that verify a software product protects data and functionality against unauthorized access, misuse, and known vulnerabilities. It covers authentication, authorization, confidentiality, integrity, availability, and non-repudiation across web, mobile, and API.

What is the difference between security testing and penetration testing?

Security testing is a continuous, QA-integrated practice run alongside functional testing to catch vulnerabilities early in the release cycle. Penetration testing is a deeper, adversarial engagement that simulates real attacks to prove exploitability and business impact. QAwerk offers penetration testing as a separate, specialist-led service.

What are the main types of security testing?

The most common types are vulnerability scanning, security auditing, penetration testing, risk assessment, ethical hacking, posture assessment, and static and dynamic application security testing (SAST/DAST). Most engagements combine several of these.

How often should security testing be performed?

At minimum, before every major release and after any significant change to authentication, authorization, third-party integrations, or infrastructure. Products handling regulated or sensitive data typically run security testing continuously as part of the QA cycle, with a full assessment at least once a year.
