NPX / APPLICATION SECURITY

Application security.

Sensitive workflows deserve more than assumptions.

Focused application and API security assessments: define authorization and coverage first, validate technical findings and explain remediation in language your team can use.

Business logic is a security boundary, too.

Identity, access control, sessions, business rules, sensitive data and integrations.

01 / ASSESSMENT AREAS

One approach. Different attack surfaces.

Healthcare, legal and HR platforms depend on trustworthy access boundaries. We tailor testing to your system, risk priorities and written scope.

01

Focused security assessment

A targeted review of agreed assets, roles and a sensitive workflow, with written authorization and defined coverage.

02

Application & API pentest

Broader testing across agreed application and API boundaries, sized to technical feasibility and approved limits.

03

Retest & follow-up

Validate agreed remediation, update finding status and document what has changed.

SECURITY THAT FITS THE QUESTION

A clear starting point, not a mystery package.

For healthcare, legal and HR systems, access and data boundaries deserve independent review. Every engagement begins with written scope and authorization.

A tailored assessment outline can be shared privately after discussing your application and priorities.

02 / OUR PROCESS

A defined process, from scope to resolution.

No testing before approval. We make the scope explicit and the findings actionable.

01 /

Scope

Confirm asset ownership, objectives, test accounts, exclusions and rules of engagement.

02 /

Assess

Controlled technical review within approved boundaries, with safeguards against unnecessary disruption.

03 /

Validate

Triage results and distinguish confirmed findings, hypotheses and inconclusive observations.

04 /

Deliver

An executive and technical report, prioritized remediation and an optional retest when agreed.

03 / DELIVERABLES

From findings to meaningful fixes.

A readable executive view and technical evidence, with documented scope, limitations and next steps.

04 / VERIFIED EVIDENCE

A finding should show what actually matters.

We connect the observation, possible impact and remediation steps with evidence your engineering team can review and reproduce.

NPX / Illustrative report

Authenticated user accesses another account's record

Authentication and access control · Web application / API

Illustrative example

01 / Condition

An API retrieves an order by ID without checking that it belongs to the authenticated account.

Endpoint: GET /api/orders/:id

02 / Controlled proof

In a fictional test environment, account A receives a record belonging to account B.

03 / HTTP evidence
GET /api/orders/order_B17 HTTP/1.1
Host: app.example.test
Cookie: session=<account-A-session>
Accept: application/json

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "id": "order_B17",
  "owner": "user_B",
  "total": 249.90,
  "status": "paid"
}

The failure is missing server-side authorization, not the identifier format.

04 / Vulnerable code (illustrative)

// Fetches by ID without verifying resource ownership
const order = await db.order.findUnique({
  where: { id: params.id }
});
return Response.json(order);

05 / Corrected code (illustrative)

// Restricts the lookup to the authenticated account
const order = await db.order.findFirst({
  where: { id: params.id, ownerId: session.user.id }
});
if (!order) return new Response(null, { status: 404 });
return Response.json(order);

06 / Impact and acceptance criteria

Potential disclosure of other clients' orders. Remediation should enforce server-side ownership checks and test access across accounts.

05 / PRINCIPLES

Careful work, explicit boundaries.

Authorization first

Work begins only with documented permission and scope.

Context before severity

Severity considers evidence, exposure and realistic impact.

Transparent coverage

Known limitations and untested areas are stated in the report.

Fixes, not just lists

The goal is to reduce risk and make remediation practical.

06 / NEXT STEP

Ready to define the scope?

Tell us which systems you own, what you want reviewed and what outcome matters. We agree on coverage and constraints before any testing.

No testing outside the approved scope.

No promises of results before the assessment.

Tell us about the application and the workflow you would like reviewed. We will clarify scope and authorization before any testing.
