Security testing that exposes vulnerabilities before attackers do
QAble runs structured penetration testing and security validation to uncover exploitable vulnerabilities, access control failures and data exposure risks that automated scanners can't find.
Security testing covers:
Engineering teams that rely on QAble
What security testing actually proves
Manual, exploit-led testing that shows how an attacker would actually get in, not a scanner report of patterns that may or may not be reachable.
Scanners find patterns, attackers find logic
Automated tools catch known signatures. Real breaches exploit business logic, chained weaknesses and context a scanner can't model, which is where manual testing earns its place.
Every finding is proven, not theoretical
A reported vulnerability ships with a reproducible exploit path, request captures and a CVSS score, so your team can verify and fix it without re-deriving it.
Severity is framed by business impact
Findings are ranked by what they'd actually cost you, not by raw scanner severity, so remediation effort goes where the real risk is.

Why security scanners miss the vulnerabilities that matter
Automated scanners find known patterns. Skilled attackers exploit logic, context and business rules that scanners can't model.
Without structured security testing, teams keep shipping
Known OWASP vulnerabilities surviving into production releases
OWASP riskAuthentication and authorisation flaws that allow privilege escalation
Access controlSensitive data exposed through unprotected or misconfigured API endpoints
Data exposureThird-party dependencies carrying unpatched CVEs into production builds
Dependency CVESecurity defects found through real incidents rather than structured testing
Incident riskThe QAble Solution
Security testing turns unknown exposure into validated, prioritised risk intelligence.
Vulnerability discovery rate
High-impact vulnerabilities identified per test engagement.
Exploitability score
Findings validated with reproducible proof-of-concept exploit paths.
CVSS coverage density
Findings scored with business impact and CVSS severity context.
Fix readiness index
How quickly validated findings reach developer-assigned remediation.
Cyber security testing coverage areas
QAble tests the full attack surface, web, API, authentication, infrastructure, mobile and code, with manual validation at every layer.
Web application penetration testing
Structured OWASP Top 10 aligned testing across your web application surfaces, from authentication flows to data handling.
API security testing
Enumerates and tests REST and GraphQL endpoints for authentication bypass, data leakage and injection vulnerabilities.
Authentication and access control
Deep-dives into login flows, token handling, RBAC enforcement and privilege escalation paths across user roles.
Infrastructure and cloud security
Reviews network exposure, IAM misconfigurations, container security and cloud resource access controls.
Mobile application security
iOS and Android security testing covering data storage, traffic interception and reverse engineering resistance.
Security code review
SAST-assisted manual code review targeting injection sinks, cryptographic misuse and hardcoded secrets.
QAble cyber security testing methodology
A structured penetration testing process designed to surface exploitable vulnerabilities and convert findings into clear remediation actions.
Threat modelling and scope
Define the attack surface, threat actors and risk-priority areas, scoped to your product architecture, data flows and compliance obligations.
Reconnaissance and surface mapping
Map all exposed endpoints, authentication surfaces, third-party integrations and data entry points before active testing begins.
Vulnerability testing and exploitation
Execute structured OWASP-aligned test scenarios, injection, auth bypass, access control, sensitive data exposure and API security probes.
Finding validation and evidence
Validate every finding with a reproducible exploit path, CVSS score and business impact context before it enters the report.
Remediation guidance and retest
Deliver prioritised remediation guidance, developer-ready fix recommendations and a structured retest pass after fixes are applied.
What you receive
QAble provides validated vulnerability evidence and actionable risk intelligence your team can act on immediately.
Penetration test report
An executive summary, technical findings log, attack narrative and the scope and methodology behind the engagement.
Vulnerability evidence pack
Proof-of-concept steps, request and response captures, CVSS scores and business impact context for each finding.
Risk register
Severity-ranked findings mapped to affected surfaces and assets, with exploitability ratings and compliance mapping.
Remediation and retest plan
Developer-ready fix guidance in priority order, with a defined retest scope and clear re-engagement criteria.
Tooling QAble security testing operates in
QAble runs manual-led testing in industry-standard tooling. Automated scanners surface candidates, but every finding is validated by hand before it reaches your report.

Common security risks we identify
These vulnerability classes recur across web applications, APIs and infrastructure when security testing is absent or surface-level.
Broken access control
Users accessing data, functions or resources outside their intended permissions, the most commonly exploited web application vulnerability class.
Injection vulnerabilities
SQL, command and template injection sinks that allow attackers to execute arbitrary queries or system commands against backend infrastructure.
Authentication bypass
Flaws in login flows, token validation or session management that allow attackers to impersonate users without valid credentials.
Sensitive data exposure
Unencrypted sensitive fields in API responses, verbose error messages or misconfigured storage returning data beyond what the caller needs.
Insecure API endpoints
Undocumented, legacy or poorly rate-limited API endpoints that bypass the security controls applied to the primary application surface.
Vulnerable dependencies
Third-party libraries and packages carrying known CVEs that are compiled into production builds without detection or patching cadence.

QAble cyber security testing expertise
Questions buyers actually ask.
Direct answers to the questions we get on the first advisor call.
What does a penetration test from QAble include?
A QAble penetration test includes scoping, reconnaissance, structured vulnerability testing across agreed surfaces, validation of all findings with proof-of-concept evidence, CVSS scoring, business impact context and a developer-ready remediation guidance report. We do not deliver raw scanner output, every finding is manually validated.
How do you ensure findings are genuinely exploitable?
We do not report theoretical vulnerabilities. Every finding delivered includes a reproducible exploit path, request captures, payload context and step-by-step reproduction guidance. This means your team can verify, triage and fix findings without spending additional cycles trying to reproduce them.
Do you provide a retest after remediation?
Yes. Retesting after remediation is a standard part of our engagement model. After your team has applied fixes, QAble re-executes targeted tests against remediated findings and issues a closure report confirming which vulnerabilities have been resolved.
How do you handle sensitive data and systems during testing?
All testing is conducted under a formal rules of engagement agreement. We work in defined scopes, use dedicated test accounts, avoid destructive techniques and operate within agreed testing windows. Data encountered during testing is handled under strict confidentiality terms.
