FAQ

Web Application Security Hardening Review FAQ

Common questions before starting security hardening review work.

Is this a penetration test?

No. This is a hands-on security hardening review focused on configuration, hosting, deployment planning and common web application risks. Formal penetration testing is a different solution.

Can you review custom application code?

Yes, where source access is provided and the scope is agreed. We focus on hands-on risks and high-impact issues rather than exhaustive code auditing.

Can you fix the issues you find?

Yes. After review, we can quote fixed-scope remediation for configuration, permissions, headers, exposed files, application solution settings or deployment planning workflow issues.

Do you check the server as well as the application?

Yes, because many PHP security hardening issues come from the hosting environment: permissions, webroot structure, application solution, NGINX/Apache, databases and backup processes.

How much does PHP security hardening review work cost?

Web application security hardening review work usually starts from $499 depending on code access, stack complexity and urgency.
