Our Approach

Assessment Methodology

STRIDE, OWASP, and Industry Best Practices

Our Penetration Testing Framework

Our security assessment is structured around a robust, industry-standard framework to ensure comprehensive coverage and actionable results. We combine theoretical models with practical testing techniques to identify, analyze, and report vulnerabilities effectively.

1. Threat Modeling with STRIDE

The **STRIDE** model is a fundamental tool used to categorize and identify potential threats to an application. By systematically analyzing the application's components against the six threat categories, we ensure no major security flaw is overlooked.

S
Spoofing
T
Tampering
R
Repudiation
I
Information Disclosure
D
Denial of Service
E
Elevation of Privilege

2. OWASP Top 10 Alignment

All identified vulnerabilities are mapped to the latest **OWASP Top 10** list. This provides a clear, industry-recognized context for the severity and prevalence of the security risks, helping prioritize mitigation efforts.

Key Focus Areas

We specifically focused on Injection (A03), Security Misconfiguration (A05), and Identification and Authentication Failures (A07).

3. Testing Phases

Phase 1: Reconnaissance

Gathering information about the target application, including technology stack, entry points, and user roles.

Phase 2: Vulnerability Analysis

Using automated and manual tools to identify potential weaknesses based on the STRIDE model.

Phase 3: Exploitation

Safely attempting to exploit identified vulnerabilities to confirm their existence and assess their impact.

Phase 4: Reporting & Mitigation

Documenting findings, assigning severity, and providing clear, actionable recommendations for remediation.
