Assessment Approach

Web App Penetration Testing

We began by conducting a thorough black box penetration test on Finstore's primary web application. This involved reconnaissance to gather information, automated vulnerability scanning, and meticulous manual testing to uncover intricate business logic flaws. Our approach aimed to simulate real-world attack scenarios to identify vulnerabilities that automated tools might miss.

External Network Penetration Testing

Our team assessed Finstore’s external network infrastructure by performing reconnaissance to map the network perimeter. Using a combination of automated tools and manual exploitation techniques, we identified multiple gaps such as outdated software and misconfigured network services.

Internal Security Audit

We reviewed and audited Finstore’s information security policies and procedures. This involved interviewing key personnel, analyzing documentation, and evaluating the effectiveness of existing security controls. Our findings highlighted several policy gaps and vulnerabilities in internal security practices.
