Penetration Testing for SaaS Companies

SaaS companies are constant targets. You store customer data across multi-tenant environments, handle authentication for thousands of users, and integrate with countless third-party services. A breach destroys customer trust, triggers compliance violations, and tanks valuations.

Why SaaS Companies Are Targeted

SaaS platforms are high-value targets. Compromising one application exposes data from hundreds or thousands of customers. Attackers know a single vulnerability in multi-tenant environments can provide access to your entire customer base.

Modern SaaS environments have multiple attack vectors

Web apps, APIs, mobile apps, cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, third-party integrations, admin panels.

Compliance requirements are tightening

SOC 2 Type II audits require annual testing. Enterprise customers demand proof of security testing before signing. Sales cycles stall without audit-ready documentation.

The business impact is severe

Customer notification requirements, regulatory investigations, class action lawsuits, reputational damage. For startups, a significant breach can end fundraising and destroy acquisition opportunities.

Common Vulnerabilities We Find

Critical

Broken authentication

Flaws in authentication allow attackers to take over user accounts or hijack active sessions within the application.

Critical

Insecure direct object references (IDOR)

Missing authorization checks allow users to access or modify other customers’ records.

Critical

Tenant isolation failures

Weak tenant boundaries allow users to access data belonging to other customer accounts.

High

Cloud misconfigurations

Cloud resources such as storage buckets or databases are publicly accessible, exposing SaaS customer data.

High

Misconfigured APIs

APIs expose more data than necessary or lack rate limiting, enabling data scraping or abuse.

High

Missing input validation

User input is not properly validated, allowing injection attacks against application or database layers.

Compliance and Requirements for SaaS Companies

SaaS companies face overlapping security requirements. SOC 2 Type II requires annual penetration testing. ISO 27001 and other frameworks mandate regular security assessments. Enterprise customers won't sign contracts without recent test documentation.

SOC 2 compliance is table stakes

Most enterprise customers require SOC 2 Type II reports before evaluating your product. Auditors expect annual penetration testing with documented remediation.

Regulatory requirements vary by industry

Healthcare customers need HIPAA compliance. Financial services require specific security controls. Government contracts demand FedRAMP or similar certifications. Each adds testing requirements.

Customer security questionnaires slow sales

Enterprise buyers send security questionnaires requiring proof of testing, vulnerability management, and incident response capabilities. Without documentation, deals stall in procurement.

What We Test

Our penetration tests are tailored to SaaS environments, covering the systems and workflows where breaches cause the most damage.

Web Applications & User Interfaces

Customer-facing apps, admin panels, and user portals for authentication flaws and access control issues.

Testing covers both authenticated and unauthenticated access. We verify user roles are properly enforced and sensitive operations require authorization.

APIs & Integration Points

REST, GraphQL, and other APIs for authentication weaknesses, injection attacks, and data exposure.

We test for broken authentication, excessive data exposure, lack of rate limiting, injection vulnerabilities, and insecure direct object references.

Many platforms expose different functionality through APIs than through web interfaces. We verify API tokens can't be stolen or replayed and that error messages don't leak sensitive information.

Multi-Tenant Isolation

Verification that customer data is properly isolated between tenants.

We test for tenant isolation failures, privilege escalation paths, and logic flaws allowing cross-tenant data access.

Testing includes manipulating tenant identifiers, bypassing isolation controls, and exploiting shared resources. We verify admin functions scope operations correctly and background jobs maintain isolation.

Network & Cloud Infrastructure

Assessment of AWS, Azure, or GCP environments for misconfigurations and weak security controls.

We identify misconfigured IAM policies, insecure storage buckets, overly permissive security groups, and weak network segmentation.

Testing covers both your cloud configuration and how attackers could pivot from compromised services to access backend infrastructure.

CI/CD Pipelines & Development Infrastructure

Testing of build systems, deployment pipelines, and development tools for supply chain attack risks.

Development infrastructure is often less secured than production. We test for exposed secrets in repositories, weak access controls on build systems, and vulnerabilities in deployment automation.

Compromised CI/CD pipelines let attackers inject malicious code into production releases. We verify proper access controls, secret management, and build verification processes.
