Static Application Security Testing (SAST)

Static Application Security Testing (SAST)

Vantage Point Security uses Veracode's industry leading Static Application Security Testing (SAST) services to analyse an application's source code. SAST is a critical component of any secure software development life cycle, helping developers write safer code and significantly reducing the risk of security breaches.

Identify Security Vulnerabilities

Discover and document vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers.

Risk Assessment

Evaluate the potential impact and likelihood of identified vulnerabilities.

Compliance Verification

Ensure that the web application meets relevant security standards and compliance requirements.

Security Enhancement

Provide actionable recommendations to mitigate identified risks and enhance overall security.

Methodologies

Our testing methodologies incorporate industry-standard practices and are aligned with globally recognized frameworks such as OWASP (Open Web Application Security Project) and WASC (Web Application Security Consortium). We utilise both automated and manual testing techniques to ensure comprehensive coverage.
 

Testing Scope

The scope of Web Application Security Testing includes, but is not limited to:

Authentication and Authorization Checks:

Verify mechanisms for user identification and access control.

Input Validation Testing:​

Test for vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, XSS (Cross-Site Scripting), and CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery).

Configuration Management Testing:

Review security configurations and deployment settings.

Session Management Testing:

Assess the security of user session management mechanisms.

Data Encryption:

Evaluate the implementation of data encryption protocols to protect sensitive information.

Our Deliverables

Clients will receive a detailed report and ongoing technical support until all risks have been removed.

Executive Summary:

A high-level overview of the analysis process, key findings, and an executive risk summary.

Detailed Vulnerability Report:

In-depth descriptions of each identified vulnerability, including its location in the code, risk rating, potential impact, and evidence.

Compliance and Best Practices Review:

An assessment of the application’s adherence to industry security standards and recommendations for alignment with best practices.

Remediation Recommendations:

Step-by-step guidance for remediating identified vulnerabilities, along with suggestions for improving coding practices to enhance security.
