How Testrig Technologies Strengthened Web Application Security for an AIML Platform

     

    Industry: AI/ML Domain 
    Location: London 
    Scope: Web Application 

    Client Overview:

    Our client is an innovative London-based technology company operating in the AI/ML domain. They developed a feature-rich web application to support their cutting-edge solutions and required a thorough Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) to ensure application security, protect sensitive data, and strengthen user trust.

    Goals

    The engagement focused on delivering a secure and resilient web application. Key priorities included: 

     

    • Comprehensive identification of vulnerabilities across the application 
    • Testing for weaknesses in authentication, session management, and input validation 
    • Assessing risks within APIs and application workflows 
    • Preventing data breaches and strengthening overall security posture 
    • Supporting the client’s rapid development cycles without introducing risk 

    Challenges

    • Uncovering hidden vulnerabilities within web application logic and third-party API integrations 
    • Validating session handling and authorization layers against advanced attack scenarios 
    • Conducting deep assessments without disrupting ongoing development and feature releases 

    Solutions

    Phase 1: Vulnerability Assessment

    We executed an exhaustive vulnerability scan using Burp Suite, blending automated crawling with manual penetration testing. This process revealed critical gaps, such as input validation flaws and improper authentication flows, which were classified by severity for structured remediation.

    Phase 2: Cross-Validation and Advanced Testing

    To ensure comprehensive coverage, we extended our assessment using OWASP ZAP Proxy to validate APIs, session handling, and access control mechanisms. Manual penetration testing targeted business logic and workflow-specific vulnerabilities, simulating sophisticated attack patterns that automated tools may miss. 

    Phase 3: Detailed Security Reporting 

    Following thorough testing and validation, we compiled a clear and actionable report tailored for multiple audiences. Developers received prioritized remediation steps, while business leaders gained strategic risk perspectives. This phased reporting ensured findings were accurate, comprehensive, and aligned with operational priorities.

    Phase 4: Remediation Support 

    We collaborated closely with the client’s engineering team to guide mitigation efforts, ensuring effective risk reduction without disrupting ongoing releases or innovation.

    Tools and Techniques 

    • Burp Suite: Vulnerability discovery with automated scanning and manual penetration 
    • OWASP ZAP Proxy: Validation of APIs, authentication, and access controls 
    • Manual Penetration Testing: Business logic and workflow-specific assessments 

    Key Benefits:

    • Strengthened Web Application Security: All high- and medium-risk vulnerabilities were resolved, significantly reducing exposure to cyber threats. 
    • Improved Risk Awareness: Actionable insights gave stakeholders visibility into both technical and strategic risks. 
    • Resilient Operations: Security reinforcement reduced the likelihood of data loss or service disruption. 
    • Future-Ready Security Practices: The client now benefits from a structured web application VAPT approach adaptable to future releases.
