Website Penetration Testing
Protect your website and your customers by identifying and fixing vulnerabilities before attackers can exploit them. OALO Security’s website penetration testing strengthens your defences, helping you prevent data breaches and build trust with your users.
What is Website Penetration Testing?
Website penetration testing evaluates the security of your website by simulating real-world attacks. Expert penetration testers act like potential attackers, identifying and assessing weaknesses that could be exploited. By uncovering these vulnerabilities, website penetration testing helps you strengthen your defences, protect your customer data, and reduce the risk of cyber-attacks.
Why Penetration Test your Website?
Ensuring that your website is safe from cyber-attacks is vital for any business. From protecting sensitive data to maintaining user trust, penetration testing a website can ensure that your security is strong enough to prevent breaches. With a website penetration test, you not only gain peace of mind but also demonstrate commitment to data protection and regulatory compliance. Regular website pen testing can prevent reputational damage, costly breaches, and legal repercussions from compromised data.
Our Website Penetration Testing Services
Our services are designed to thoroughly evaluate the security of your online presence. We tailor our testing strategies to suit your specific needs and objectives. Our services include a comprehensive analysis that covers website applications and APIs, to help ensure that your entire digital infrastructure is secure.
Our Approach to Penetration Testing
Our approach follows a structured and thorough process. We begin by understanding your unique security needs and goals, then conduct a series of tests designed to mimic the behaviour of potential attackers. This process includes the identification of common vulnerabilities, testing for unauthorised access points, and attempting to exploit identified weak spots. We then evaluate their potential impact to understand the importance of fixing these weak spots so we can give you an action plan.
Website Pen Testing Methodologies
We adhere to industry-standard methodologies, following protocols such as OWASP (Open Worldwide Application Security Project). This can ensure a rigorous and consistent approach, enabling us to assess your website’s security against known vulnerabilities, emerging threats, and advanced attack strategies. We stay on top of new and emerging threats and do our best to incorporate these into our testing.
Benefits of Pen Testing your Website
A pen test website evaluation can highlight vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.
Demonstrating proactive security measures boosts customer confidence in your website.
Compliance with standards like GDPR is easier when your website penetration testing meets required security levels.
Addressing potential issues during testing can be more cost-effective than dealing with a data breach or damage to the reputation of your business.
Website Pen Testing Tools and Techniques
Planning and scoping: Define objectives and set boundaries to ensure a focused and thorough pen test.
Analysis: Gather information about the website’s network and potential weak points.
Exploitation: Safely simulate real-world attacks to expose vulnerabilities in website code, configuration, and data handling.
Reporting: Provide a comprehensive report detailing our findings, including prioritised recommendations for addressing any identified vulnerabilities.
How we Conduct Website Penetration Testing
To conduct a precise and effective website penetration test, we use industry-leading tools such as Burp Suite. We also use automated scanning tools to quickly identify known vulnerabilities, as well as manual testing methods to find hidden weaknesses that automated tools might miss. Techniques range from SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS) testing to API security evaluations.
Pen Testing Website Applications and APIs
Our testing isn’t limited to just your main website. We can also assess web applications, customer portals, and APIs, which are increasingly used by modern websites. By penetration testing website applications and APIs, we help to ensure that every entry point to your data is secure.

Frequently Asked Questions About Website Penetration Testing
What is the Difference Between Vulnerability Scanning and Penetration Testing?
While vulnerability scanning is automated and identifies potential risks, penetration testing a website involves simulating real attacks to assess the impact of those risks.
How Often Should I Conduct a Website Penetration Test?
Ideally, penetration testing website applications should be conducted at least annually, or more frequently for high-traffic or data-sensitive websites.
How Long Does a Website Penetration Test Take?
The duration varies depending on website complexity but generally takes between a few days and a week. More information about this can be provided when we understand more about your website and the types of tests that need to be conducted.
