OWASP Security Testing for Cloud-Native Web Applications

OWASP Security Testing for Cloud-Native Web Applications

Stralya secures your most critical web applications with rigorous OWASP-based security testing, purpose-built for cloud-native architectures and the demands of modern digital businesses.

Scope of work

What Our OWASP Security Testing Covers

Our OWASP Security Testing service is structured into clear, practical components. Each component can be tailored to your application’s maturity, architecture, and regulatory context, while maintaining strong alignment with OWASP Top 10 and OWASP ASVS guidelines.

Core OWASP Testing Coverage

Authentication and session management testing, including login flows, password reset, multi-factor authentication, and session handling.

Authorization and access control checks to prevent horizontal and vertical privilege escalation, insecure direct object references, and role or permission bypass.

Input validation and output encoding tests to detect injection vulnerabilities (SQL, NoSQL, OS command), cross-site scripting (XSS), and related issues.

API and microservices testing, including endpoint enumeration, parameter tampering, rate limiting gaps, and improper error handling.

Configuration and deployment review to identify insecure defaults, exposed admin interfaces, missing security headers, and weak or outdated TLS configurations.

Data protection and privacy checks around storage, encryption in transit and at rest, logging, and the handling of personal or sensitive data.

Business logic testing to uncover abuse scenarios tied to your workflows, such as bypassing payment steps, quota limitations, discounts, or approval processes.

Dependency and component analysis to identify known vulnerabilities in third-party libraries, frameworks, and container images.

Optional Add-ons and Extensions

Source code review for critical modules to complement black-box testing with code-level insights and secure coding recommendations.

Continuous security integration into your CI/CD pipeline, including automated checks, quality gates, and secure deployment guards.

Security hardening workshops for your development team, focused on OWASP and practical secure coding practices relevant to your stack.

Post-audit implementation support where Stralya’s engineers help directly apply fixes, refactor insecure components, and verify changes.

Compliance-oriented reporting tailored for management, auditors, or regulators, mapping OWASP testing results to your governance requirements.

Whether you are launching a new platform, preparing for an investment round, or stabilizing an existing system, our OWASP Security Testing service gives you a clear, actionable view of your security posture. You gain the confidence to move fast, backed by a partner who treats your project as if it were their own.

Benefits of OWASP Security Testing with Stralya

Reduced business risk

By identifying and prioritizing vulnerabilities before attackers do, you significantly cut the risk of data breaches, service disruptions, and reputational damage in an increasingly competitive digital market.

Higher reliability and uptime

Secure applications are more stable. Our findings frequently highlight configuration and architecture improvements that also boost performance, reliability, and uptime.

Clear visibility for leadership

CTOs, CIOs, CISOs, and Digital Transformation leaders receive a concise, non-technical summary of risks and priorities, making it easier to defend security budgets and decisions at the executive and board level.

Stronger foundation for growth

Startups and scale-ups gain a secure foundation for future features, integrations, and markets, avoiding costly retrofits or full rebuilds later in their growth journey.

Trust from clients and partners

Showing that your application has undergone OWASP-based testing by a specialized partner like Stralya strengthens trust with customers, investors, and institutional partners who expect security to be proven, not assumed.

Process

How Our OWASP Security Testing Engagement Works

Our OWASP Security Testing is structured, transparent, and designed for teams that cannot afford guesswork. We combine manual testing, automated tooling, and code-level analysis where relevant. Every step is documented, communicated, and aligned with your priorities so remediation is realistic, time-bound, and efficient.

We start with a short but structured workshop with your technical and business stakeholders to understand the application, data sensitivity, user flows, and any regulatory or industry context. This lets us define a clear testing perimeter, assumptions, out-of-scope items, and success criteria.

Using OWASP standards (OWASP Top 10, ASVS) and your specific architecture, we build a tailored test plan. We identify likely attack vectors, critical components, and integration points (APIs, authentication, third-party services) to ensure we focus coverage where it matters most.

We combine carefully tuned automated tools with expert manual testing. This includes input validation checks, authentication and authorization testing, session management, injection attempts, misconfiguration analysis, and business logic abuse scenarios mapped to OWASP guidelines.

For cloud-native applications, we review relevant cloud services and configurations (identity and access management, storage, networking, secrets management) to spot misconfigurations that could expose your application or data, aligning with both OWASP principles and cloud provider best practices.

We deliver a clear, structured report that groups findings by risk level and business impact. For each issue, you get an explanation, reproduction steps, and recommended remediation options tuned to your technology stack, processes, and internal capabilities.

We work alongside your teams (or previous vendors) to clarify findings and support remediation. Once fixes are in place, we perform targeted re-testing to validate that vulnerabilities are properly resolved and that no regressions or new issues have been introduced.

Find Commonly Asked Questions

OWASP security testing is a structured approach to finding and mitigating vulnerabilities in web applications, based on standards from the Open Web Application Security Project. In today’s fast-moving digital environment, where platforms handle high-value transactions and sensitive data, OWASP provides a recognized international baseline for security. Using OWASP frameworks ensures your application is evaluated against the most common and critical attack vectors seen on the modern web.

We focus on cloud-native web applications and APIs: customer portals, internal dashboards, transactional platforms, SaaS products, and public-sector or enterprise digital services. We work across major cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP) and modern frameworks such as React, Vue, Angular, Node.js, Laravel, Django, and others commonly used to build scalable web platforms.

Our OWASP Security Testing is delivered on a fixed-price basis. After an initial scoping discussion, we define the perimeter, assumptions, and depth of testing, then provide a clear, all-inclusive price. This avoids surprises and aligns with Stralya’s project-first philosophy: we commit to outcomes rather than billing by the day or inflating security testing hours.

We do more than hand over a report. Our team can support your developers with practical remediation guidance, code-level recommendations, and architecture adjustments. When needed, Stralya can also take over critical parts of the project to stabilize and secure it, especially in rescue scenarios where previous vendors have under-delivered on security or quality.

Whenever possible, we test in a staging or pre-production environment that closely mirrors production. For any activities that might affect stability or performance, we coordinate closely with your team and follow strict change and communication protocols. If production testing is required, we design a controlled approach with clear time windows, monitoring, and rollback options.

We recommend running OWASP-based security testing at least once a year for stable applications, and after any major release, infrastructure change, or integration with new third-party services. For high-stakes platforms in sectors like finance, real estate, healthcare, or government services, more frequent testing combined with continuous security practices is advisable.
