Web Application Security Review

We review web applications and their production environment for practical security risks across access control, uploads, sessions, secrets, dependencies, deployment workflows and hosting configuration.

FAQ

Web Application Security Review FAQ

Common questions before starting security review work.

Is this a penetration test?

No. This is a practical security review focused on configuration, hosting, deployment and common web application risks. Formal penetration testing is a different service.

Can you review custom application code?

Yes, where source access is provided and the scope is agreed. We focus on practical 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 service settings or deployment workflow issues.

Do you check the server as well as the application?

Yes, because many PHP security issues come from the hosting environment: permissions, webroot structure, application service, NGINX/Apache, databases and backups.

How much does PHP security review work cost?

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