Application Security Assessments

Core4ce’s Application Security Assessments, refined over two decades, identify and recommend improvements for security weaknesses. Tailored to each client’s environment, we provide a professional third-party application-level security assessment to evaluate the true vulnerabilities of COTS, GOTS, and custom software packages.  

Our manual verification process ensures accuracy by providing detailed analysis in reports, highlighting tasks that require support team attention, and including high‑level summaries for management. This approach reduces the false positives that are common in other assessments. 

There are three main types of applications we evaluate: 

  • Traditional Web Applications  
  • Custom Client Applications    
  • Enterprise Applications

Our Approach

  • 01
    Manual Testing

    Our experienced penetration testers carefully analyze the application for misconfigurations and security weaknesses that can lead to critical attack chains.

  • 02
    Automated Scanning

    We use industry‑leading automated tools, integrated with our proprietary toolkit, to scan, detect, and categorize vulnerabilities that are then reviewed through additional manual inspection. 

  • 03
    Risk Prioritization

    Our team takes a prioritized approach, initially looking at the most common security risks in applications because they are the most likely to be exploited by attackers, putting your data, users, and reputation at risk. Beyond the OWASP Top 10, our team also focuses on addressing critical areas such as business logic flaws, authentication weaknesses, API vulnerabilities, and third-party component risks to provide comprehensive protection. 

  • 04
    Custom Exploit Development

    One of the key components of advanced application testing is demonstrating impact. Our security engineers craft tailored exploits to demonstrate the full impact of identified vulnerabilities, simulating real-world attack scenarios. By combining multiple vulnerabilities into attack chains, we uncover how seemingly minor issues can escalate into critical threats
