OWASP Top 10 Penetration Testing

The OWASP Top 10 is the industry's reference list of the risks that break real web applications — and mapping your app against it is the most defensible way to prove you have checked the essentials. Our OWASP Top 10 penetration testing works through every category by hand, from broken access control to SSRF, and proves what is genuinely exploitable rather than what a scanner merely flagged.

The 2025 revision reshuffles the list — Broken Access Control remains number one, Security Misconfiguration climbs, and software supply-chain and insecure-design risks move to the core. We test against both the 2021 and 2025 editions so your coverage is current and future-proof.

OWASP Top 10 Penetration Testing — AgentOffense test coverage and attack surface
OWASP Top 10 Penetration Testing: manual, exploit-led coverage — web, API, cloud, network and AI-agent security.

Why it matters

A vulnerability scanner can tick OWASP categories but cannot chain them into real impact or understand your application's logic. Framework coverage without manual exploitation gives false confidence — the exact thing that gets organizations breached after a clean automated report.

What we test

  • Broken access control (OWASP A01)
  • Cryptographic failures (A02)
  • Injection: SQL, NoSQL, command, LDAP (A03)
  • Insecure design & business-logic flaws (A04)
  • Security misconfiguration (A05)
  • Vulnerable & outdated components (A06)
  • Identification & authentication failures (A07)
  • Software & data integrity failures (A08)
  • Security logging & monitoring failures (A09)
  • Server-side request forgery — SSRF (A10)

Common vulnerabilities we uncover

  • Broken access control and privilege escalation
  • SQL and command injection
  • Weak or missing cryptography
  • Exploitable outdated components with known CVEs
  • Authentication and session weaknesses
  • SSRF reaching internal services

Our methodology

  1. Scoping & rules of engagement. We agree objectives, targets and boundaries for your owasp top 10 penetration testing, so testing is safe, authorized and focused on what matters to your business.
  2. Reconnaissance & mapping. We enumerate the full attack surface in scope, building a complete picture before any exploitation begins.
  3. Manual exploitation. Our senior testers chain vulnerabilities by hand — going far beyond automated scanners — to prove real, demonstrable impact.
  4. Analysis & reporting. Every finding is triaged, risk-rated with CVSS and written up with a copy-paste reproduction and clear remediation.
  5. Remediation support & free retest. We support your team through the fixes and retest the remediated issues to confirm they are genuinely closed.

Tools & techniques

We anchor coverage in the OWASP Web Security Testing Guide and grade against ASVS, driving the work with Burp Suite Professional and heavy manual testing. Each of the ten categories is exercised deliberately — access control across every role, injection traced from input to sink, and configuration reviewed against hardening baselines.

Where categories combine — a misconfiguration that enables access-control bypass, for instance — we chain them into a single proof-of-concept so you see the real-world attack path, not ten isolated checkboxes.

When you need this engagement

  • You need a recognised, framework-backed test for a client or auditor
  • You want structured coverage of the most common web risks
  • You are establishing a baseline security posture for a web app
  • You must evidence due diligence against an industry standard
  • You are preparing for ISO 27001 or a security questionnaire

What you receive

  • Executive summary mapped to each OWASP Top 10 category
  • Per-finding risk rating, evidence and reproduction steps
  • Developer-ready remediation guidance
  • OWASP ASVS gap view
  • Attestation letter for clients and auditors
  • Complimentary retest after fixes

What’s included in your report

Every owasp top 10 penetration testing engagement concludes with a comprehensive, board-ready report and a working session to walk your team through it. Your report includes:

  • An executive summary with overall risk posture for non-technical stakeholders
  • Detailed technical findings, each with a step-by-step, copy-paste reproduction
  • CVSS v3.1 severity ratings and business-impact context for every issue
  • Prioritized, actionable remediation guidance your engineers can apply directly
  • A complimentary retest to confirm fixes and update finding status
  • A formal attestation letter for customers, auditors and compliance programs

Outcomes you can expect

After your owasp top 10 penetration testing, you will have clear, evidence-based visibility into your real security risk — not a scanner’s guesswork. You will know exactly which weaknesses an attacker could exploit, what the business impact would be, and the precise steps to fix them in priority order. Teams use our findings to close critical gaps, satisfy customer and regulator security requirements, and demonstrate due diligence to their board. With a complimentary retest included, you also get documented proof that the issues are genuinely resolved.

Engagement details & logistics

Every owasp top 10 penetration testing starts with a short, no-obligation scoping call to understand your goals, environment and constraints, followed by a fixed-price proposal and a clear statement of work. Most engagements are delivered fully remotely, with on-site work arranged where it genuinely adds value. Throughout testing we maintain an agreed communication cadence and escalate any critical, high-impact finding to you immediately rather than waiting for the final report. All work is performed under a signed NDA with strict data-handling controls, using safe, non-disruptive techniques and carefully coordinated rules of engagement to protect your production systems. On completion you receive your report and a walkthrough session, followed by a complimentary retest once your fixes are in place. Typical engagements are booked one to three weeks in advance, and urgent or pre-deadline testing can often be accommodated — just ask at hi@agentoffense.com.

Why organizations choose AgentOffense

Our owasp top 10 penetration testing is delivered by senior offensive-security engineers who test the way real attackers do — manually, creatively and with a relentless focus on proving genuine, demonstrable impact. Here is what sets our engagements apart:

  • Manual, exploit-driven testing that chains vulnerabilities the way a real attacker would, going far beyond what automated scanners can find.
  • Reproducible proof for every finding, with copy-paste reproduction steps your engineers can follow and independently verify.
  • Honest severity calibration so you invest in fixing what genuinely matters and avoid wasting effort on false positives and noise.
  • Clear, business-focused reporting that speaks to engineers and executives alike, tying every issue to real-world impact.
  • A complimentary retest included, so you get documented proof that your fixes actually close the attack path.
  • Responsible, collaborative delivery with a named point of contact and secure handling of all data throughout the engagement.
