Website Security & Vulnerability Assessment Services

What You Get with Our Website Security Services

We don’t hand you a generic scanner export and call it a day. You'll get a prioritized roadmap that mixes quick wins with long-term fixes. This way, your team will know what to do next. Check out our full list of services or contact us to create a plan that works for your stack and budget. We test for and document each issue with proof-of-concept and business impact, then provide developer-friendly fixes. We check that input is handled correctly, that it is escaped and encoded, and that a strict Content Security Policy (CSP) is in place to limit the damage. We check parameters, headers, and body inputs across forms and APIs, and then we use prepared statements and ORM-safe patterns to make sure the queries are safe. We check sensitive flows like password changes, checkout, and admin actions, and we make sure that anti-CSRF tokens, SameSite cookies, and method enforcement are all working. We audit your protocol versions, ciphers, certificate chain, and HSTS to ensure strong encryption without breaking legacy integrations.

• TLS 1.2/1.3 only, with modern ciphers and perfect forward secrecy
• HSTS, OCSP stapling, secure and HttpOnly cookies, and SameSite policies
• Automated certificate issuance and rotation to avoid outages
• At-rest encryption guidance for databases, object storage, and backups

We’ll also verify mixed-content risks and third-party script integrity with Subresource Integrity (SRI) where appropriate.

Security Audits & Pen Testing

Our approach blends automated scanning with manual testing by experienced engineers—because scanners miss business logic flaws and chained exploits.

Methodology You Can Trust

• OWASP Top 10 and ASVS-aligned test cases for web applications and APIs
• Authenticated and unauthenticated testing of critical user journeys
• Source review for sensitive modules (auth, payments, file uploads) where scope allows
• Environment checks: staging vs. production parity, secret management, hardening baselines

Deliverables That Drive Action

• Executive summary with risk heatmap and business impact
• Technical report: proof-of-concept, CVSS scoring, and step-by-step remediation
• Developer working session and a retest to validate fixes
• Optional ongoing monitoring and quarterly mini-assessments

Security Headers & App Hardening

• Headers: CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy
• Authentication: MFA, session management, password policies, bot and brute-force protections
• Input and file validation, upload scanning, and safe error handling
• Dependency management: SCA checks, CVE monitoring, and patch cadence

WAF, DDoS & Edge Controls

• Web Application Firewall rules, rate limiting, geo/IP filtering, and bot mitigation
• CDN integration, cache key hardening, and origin shielding
• Api-specific protections: schema validation and payload size limits

Backups & Disaster Recovery

• Versioned, encrypted backups with tested restore runbooks
• Defined RPO/RTO targets and incident communication templates
• Periodic game days to validate recovery under pressure

Monitoring & Compliance

Security is not a one-time project. We instrument logs, alerts, and dashboards so you see issues early and respond quickly—while staying aligned with regulations and customer expectations.

Monitoring Tools & Alerting

• Centralized logging, anomaly detection, and suspicious login alerts
• SIEM integrations and runbooks for triage and escalation
• Uptime checks, TLS/SSL expiry alerts, and integrity monitoring

Compliance & Data Protection

• GDPR/CCPA-aligned data handling, consent, and retention practices
• Security documentation: policies, asset inventory, and access reviews
• Guidance for SOC 2 readiness and PCI DSS considerations where applicable

We’ll map findings to compliance requirements and provide auditor-friendly evidence you can keep on file.

How We Work—From Risk to Results in 2–4 Weeks

You need speed without shortcuts. Our process is focused, open, and designed to quickly deliver usable results. We check on things all the time and give them a tune-up every three months. To start the conversation, go to our contact page. Here are snapshots of what companies achieve after a BYBOWU assessment.

Ecommerce Brand, High Traffic

• Issues: Mixed content, weak TLS ciphers, missing CSP, cart abuse from bots
• Fixes: TLS 1.3, strict CSP with nonce, WAF rules and rate limiting, secure cookies
• Impact: 100% elimination of mixed-content warnings; bot-driven checkout errors down 92%

SaaS Platform, B2B

• Issues: IDOR in account settings, missing CSRF on admin routes, unencrypted backups
• Fixes: Access control checks, CSRF tokens + SameSite, encrypted backups with rotation
• Impact: Passed customer security review; reduced pen test findings by 80% on retest

WordPress-Driven Publisher

• Issues: Outdated plugins, XML-RPC abuse, weak admin passwords
• Fixes: Managed updates, WAF hardening, MFA enforced, backups and restore drill
• Impact: No outages during traffic spikes; improved Core Web Vitals post-hardening

FAQs

How often should I perform a security audit?

At least once a year, and after major releases or changes to the infrastructure, you should schedule a full website security audit. Semiannual audits and ongoing monitoring are good for sites that are either high-risk or get a lot of traffic. If you deal with payments or sensitive information, make sure your compliance schedule matches up.

We test safely during agreed-upon times. We limit the load and work closely together for production. When possible, high-risk exploits are first tested in staging and then tested in production with little effect.

Do you help with compliance (GDPR, SOC 2, PCI)?

Yes. We don't do audits, but we do map technical controls to requirements, give you proof, and make your environment more secure to meet customer due diligence and audit standards.

Yes, for sure. We regularly secure WordPress, Laravel, Next.js/React, and custom apps as an engineering studio in the US. This includes closing plugin risks, strengthening API endpoints, and improving server posture. BYBOWU combines deep knowledge of web application security with real-world engineering to make fixes that are realistic, quick, and measurable. We will meet you where you are—tight timeline, complex stack, or compliance push—and help you reach a safer baseline without slowing growth.
