Application and Software Security

Stronger Applications. Fewer Vulnerabilities. Smarter Security.

Software may be eating the world, but bugs and vulnerabilities are eating the software. Despite major advancements in secure development practices, the greatest challenge to secure code remains complexity.

At DBG, we help organizations manage this complexity by identifying vulnerabilities and security risks across applications. Our flexible engagements are led by expert application security specialists tailored to your needs, whether you're ensuring compliance or deploying a mission-critical system.

Specialized Focus – Would you trust your family doctor to perform heart surgery? Security testing requires deep expertise, and our team specializes exclusively in application and software security.
Competence Beyond Credentials – While our team holds OSCP, BSCP, and other certifications, our rigorous in-house training exceeds industry benchmarks.
Evolving Methodology – We continuously refine our testing approach based on real-world threats, industry trends, and leading frameworks like OWASP ASVS.
Actionable, In-Depth Reporting – No generic templates here. Every report is tailored, detailing vulnerabilities in context and providing clear, prioritized remediation steps.
Beyond the Report – Security testing doesn’t end with a PDF. We guide your team through findings, implications, and fixes, offering demos and tutorials on complex issues.

Applications We Test

Our approach is designed to identify vulnerabilities, weaknesses, and security gaps that could compromise confidentiality, integrity, or violate security policies.

20+ years of expertise, backed by independent research and real-world experience
Alignment with industry standards like OWASP ASVS, WSTG, ISO 27000, NIST SP 800, PCI DSS, and SSF
Manual testing by application security specialists, enhanced with automation and tooling

Many firms claim to use an "OWASP Top 10 Methodology" - but that’s misleading. The OWASP Top 10 is an awareness document, not a methodology. At DBG, we go beyond checklists to provide real, actionable security insights.

DBG’s Application Security Testing Methodology

Our Application Security Testing Services

Focused on identifying security vulnerabilities and deficiencies across the application.
- In-depth manual testing by specialists
- Augmented testing with semi-automated & automated tooling
Best for:
- First-time security tests or applications with limited prior scrutiny
- Compliance-driven testing (regulatory or contractual “pentest” requirements)
- Organizations with tight budgets or limited remediation resources
Goes beyond APT, evaluating security best practices and defense-in-depth strategies.
- Everything in APT, plus:
- Review of TLS configuration & broader Internet exposure (OSINT)
Best for:
- Applications requiring a higher level of security assurance
- Security-mature organizations with dedicated remediation capacity
Extends testing to include source code analysis for deeper security insights.
- Everything in ASA, plus:
- Selective source code analysis for better risk identification
Best for:
- Applications needing the highest level of security assurance
- Teams looking to prevent vulnerabilities at scale
- Teams with development capacity and cycles to remediate low-risk findings and implement defense-in-depth controls
