Security testing that finds vulnerabilities before attackers do
QAble delivers Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) for web applications, APIs, and mobile apps, identifying exploitable security weaknesses and providing actionable remediation guidance to protect your users and your data.

Engineering teams that rely on QAble
What security testing actually means
Security testing is not a single tool run. It is a structured process of identification, exploitation, and validation, each phase building evidence the next phase depends on.
Vulnerability assessment
Automated scanning and manual analysis to identify known weaknesses, misconfigurations, and outdated dependencies across the application stack, without attempting exploitation. The entry point for understanding your risk surface.
Penetration testing
Controlled exploitation of identified vulnerabilities to confirm what is genuinely reachable and assess the real-world impact of each finding, beyond what pattern-matching scanners can validate.
CVSS severity rating
Every finding scored using the Common Vulnerability Scoring System, giving your engineering team a prioritised, evidence-based list of what to fix first and how to verify the fix was effective.
Why VAPT requires human judgment
Automated scanners identify known vulnerability patterns. Manual penetration testing uncovers what no scanner can detect: business logic flaws, chained attack vectors, and access control gaps that require context and creativity to exploit.
QAble combines automated scanning for known CVEs and misconfigurations with manual exploitation attempts that confirm real-world impact and generate the evidence your team needs to prioritise remediation.
Why security testing cannot be left to automated scanners alone
Automated security scanners identify known patterns. Manual penetration testing identifies the business logic flaws, access control gaps, and chained attack vectors that scanners miss entirely.

DependenciesThe QAble Solution
QAble combines automated scanning with manual exploitation, confirming real-world impact on every finding, not just whether a pattern matched a scanner signature.

Vulnerability assessment
Automated and manual scanning to identify known vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and outdated dependencies across your application stack.
Infrastructure and cloud security
Assessment of cloud infrastructure security posture, covering access controls, network segmentation, and configuration hardening.
The QAble VAPT methodology
A structured penetration testing process aligned to industry standards, from reconnaissance to validated remediation.
Scoping and reconnaissance
Defining the attack surface, testing boundaries and information gathering to understand the target system before any testing begins.
Vulnerability assessment
Automated scanning and manual analysis to identify potential vulnerabilities across the defined scope.
Exploitation and validation
Attempting controlled exploitation to confirm which vulnerabilities are genuinely reachable and assess their real-world impact.
Risk rating and reporting
Documenting all findings with CVSS severity scores, exploitation evidence, business impact and remediation guidance.
Remediation retest
Retesting fixed vulnerabilities to confirm remediation was effective and that no new issues were introduced during the fix.
Tooling and instrumentation we run security testing on
Security testing becomes repeatable and auditable when the right tooling makes vulnerability evidence as visible as a failed build already is.

Common vulnerabilities we identify
These are the security weaknesses QAble most consistently identifies across web, API, and mobile application testing engagements.
SQL injection
Unsanitised inputs allowing attackers to manipulate database queries, extract data, or modify records without authorisation.
Broken authentication
Weak login mechanisms, session management flaws, or token vulnerabilities enabling unauthorised access to user accounts.
Sensitive data exposure
User credentials, PII, or payment data stored or transmitted without appropriate encryption protecting it from interception.
Cross-site scripting (XSS)
Unsanitised output enabling attackers to inject malicious scripts into pages viewed by other users of the application.
Insecure direct object references
APIs or endpoints exposing other users' resources by manipulating IDs without proper authorisation checks in place.
Outdated dependencies
Libraries and frameworks with known CVEs that attackers can exploit using publicly available exploit code and tooling.

QAble Security Testing Expertise
Questions buyers actually ask.
Common questions about QAble's security testing and VAPT services.
What is the difference between a vulnerability assessment and penetration testing?
A vulnerability assessment identifies and prioritises potential security weaknesses through scanning and analysis but does not attempt to exploit them. Penetration testing goes further by attempting controlled exploitation to confirm which vulnerabilities are genuinely exploitable and assess their real-world impact. QAble recommends both as part of a complete VAPT engagement.
Do you follow any specific security testing standards?
QAble aligns testing to established standards including OWASP Testing Guide (web), OWASP API Security Top 10 (APIs), OWASP MASVS (mobile), and uses CVSS scoring for vulnerability severity ratings. For clients with specific compliance requirements (ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, SOC 2), we scope testing accordingly.
Will security testing disrupt our live application?
QAble conducts all security testing in a pre-agreed scope and environment. For production testing, we schedule activities during low-traffic windows and avoid destructive test cases. All testing is conducted with explicit written permission and defined rules of engagement to prevent disruption.
Do you provide a retest after we fix vulnerabilities?
Yes. Remediation retest is included in all QAble VAPT engagements. After you implement fixes, QAble retests the specific vulnerabilities to confirm they are resolved effectively and that no new issues were introduced during the remediation process.
VAPT that gives you evidence, not just a list
QAble delivers security testing with exploitation evidence, CVSS-rated severity, and code-level remediation guidance, so your engineering team knows exactly what to fix and how to verify it is fixed.
