Web Application Penetration Testing (WAPT)
Your Web Application Is Your Business. We Make Sure Nobody Breaks It.
What Is Web Application Penetration Testing (WAPT)?
Web Application Penetration Testing is the process of finding and exploiting security vulnerabilities in your web applications before real attackers do. This covers everything from your customer-facing website and web portals to your admin dashboards, payment gateways, and internal tools.
In today's India, nearly every business runs on web applications. Your customers book orders through web portals. Your employees access HR systems through browsers. Each of these applications is a potential entry point for attackers.
WAPT goes far beyond basic vulnerability scanning. While automated scanners can catch common issues like SQL injection and XSS, they are completely blind to business-logic vulnerabilities — the kind of flaws that allow attackers to manipulate your pricing, bypass your payment workflows, or access other users' data.
Why Your Business Needs This
Your web application is often the single most exposed part of your entire IT infrastructure. It faces the open internet 24/7.
Consider these scenarios we have actually seen in Indian web applications: A fintech platform where users could manipulate EMI calculations by tampering with hidden form fields. An e-commerce site where the coupon system had no server-side validation — attackers could apply unlimited discount codes. A healthcare portal where patient records were accessible by simply changing the patient ID in the URL. A SaaS platform where the admin panel was accessible to regular users through URL guessing.
These are real vulnerabilities found in real Indian web applications by Verentix in the last 12 months. Automated scanners missed every single one of them.
What You Get
Why Choose Verentix
Verentix WAPT starts with business understanding. Before we test a single input field, we learn how your application makes money, what user roles exist, where sensitive data is stored, and what are the critical business workflows.
From this understanding, we create custom abuse cases. For an e-commerce app, we test price manipulation, coupon abuse, and order workflow tampering. For a fintech app, we test balance manipulation, payment race conditions, and KYC bypass. For a SaaS app, we test tenant isolation and privilege escalation.
This is the testing that finds the ₹15 lakh per month losses. This is the testing that prevents regulatory action.

Real Results for Indian Businesses
A food delivery startup in Hyderabad discovered through our testing that their promo code system had no rate limiting. Attackers were generating thousands of promo codes per minute. Our testing quantified the loss at approximately ₹8 lakh per month.
A B2B SaaS platform in Pune found that their multi-tenant architecture had critical isolation failures — one customer's admin could access another customer's data.
A digital lending platform in Mumbai had their entire KYC verification process bypassed through our testing. The potential fraud exposure was estimated at ₹50 lakh per month. The platform's previous automated scan had given this endpoint a clean bill of health.
