Application Security Assessment

WCG’s application security assessment services help organizations determine whether their off-the-shelf or custom application software contains vulnerabilities that can be exploited.

What is an application security assessment?

As cyber-attacks increasingly focus on application-layer disruptions, the importance of application security has never been more vital. Weak application security represents significant control deficiencies that can potentially compromise sensitive data, reporting, and regulatory compliance

Web Application security assessment is a unique area of assessment and penetration testing that analyzes the security of your organization’s internal and public-facing applications, APIs, and mobile apps. Unlike infrastructure-based assessments, the methodology utilized by WCG for identifying security vulnerabilities and significant issues is dependent upon the type of web or mobile application being assessed. Although several methodologies do exist, they are often not versatile enough to cope with the wide variety of custom applications commonly encountered.

Key Benefits of Application Security Assessment Services include, but are not limited to:

  • Provide improved security posture and compliance so your company meets the needs of industry standard practices
  • Provide management for safety and security of sensitive information for your company and your users
  • Ongoing monitoring and management to keep your company secure and compliant
  • Make sure your app is compliant with cybersecurity laws.

What are some of your application-related challenges?

  • My company’s website encounters multiple crashes after a recent cyber security incident. What can I do?
  • My organization’s web application failed a PCI DSS compliance standard audit. How can you help?

Our Solution

WCG can help provide a comprehensive web application security assessment where we evaluate hosting platforms as well as your security protocols to identify exploitable security risks within your website. In addition to identifying potential risks, our application security assessment services analyze the “root cause” for identified risks and provide actionable strategies to resolve them, improving processes of Systems Development Life Cycle.

Our Solution

WCG uses PCI DSS v.3.2 to bring your company and its applications up to standard compliance, making sure your application is compliant with cybersecurity laws. We also have experienced consultants to assist you with managing web application security assessment practices and answer any questions you have at any time throughout the process

Full Security Assessment

We perform an independent assessment of the system to evaluate critical control implementation and verify your compliance level to FedRAMP. A 3PAO-required Security Authorization Package will be developed that contains a Security Assessment Plan (SAP), Security Assessment Report (SAR), and a Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M). Vulnerability and penetration testing activities are within the scope of this assessment.

This full security assessment ensures compliance with NIST SP 800-53 Revision 4 or 5 and FedRAMP controls for low, moderate, or high-impact cloud organizations’ products and/or services.

We provide ongoing support with risk evaluation to maintain your organization's FedRAMP ATO by monitoring the following:

  • Operational Visibility – CSPs must provide evidentiary information to Authorizing Officials (AOs) at least monthly, annually, every three years, and on an as-needed basis after authorization is granted.
  • As a certified FedRAMP 3PAO, we perform an assessment on an annual basis for a subset of the overall controls implemented on the system to ensure your organization’s operational visibility.
  • Change Control – The change control processes help maintain a secure baseline configuration of the CSP’s architecture.

How will WCG help you?

WCG’s application security assessment services help organizations determine whether your off-the-shelf or custom application software contains vulnerabilities that can be exploited. WCG’s Application Security Assessment Services evaluate your application’s security in these ways:

  • Identifies and evaluates hosting platforms for your applications
  • Reviews application origins and access control settings
  • Tests passwords policies, rules, and other critical settings for injection vulnerabilities
  • Evaluates secure protocols, encryption, and configuration management

We evaluate applications to minimize the risk of information leakage, authentication and session management breaches, spoofing, impersonation, command injections and denial of service attacks. The web application security assessment also determines whether the software behaves and interacts securely with its users, databases, and other applications.
