Astra's 7-Step Pentest Process
How our application penetration testing works
Astra’s 6-step pentest approach rigorously tests your applications for security gaps, including business logic issues and privilege misuses, with a combination of expert-led and AI-driven testing.
Discovery & Scoping
- Define assets/scope quickly via our platform and onboarding session.
Authentication Setup
- Enable deep analysis, including behind-login risks, with easy auth flows.
Automated Baseline
- Run 24/7 targeted scanning for APIs and mobile app-specific OWASP threats, CVEs, business logic, and config missteps.
Risk Scoring & Prioritization
- Prioritize findings by exploitability, business impact, and compliance relevance.
Remediation Support
- Receive clear, actionable fix steps, direct access to remediation consultants, and repeat scans as needed.
Re-Scanning & Reporting
- Continuous re-testing verifies that threats stay fixed and new risks don’t slip through. Comprehensive CXO-friendly reporting and a verifiable certification for your security posture.
Why choose Astra?
Every pentest our security engineers perform feeds back into our DAST vulnerability scanner.
That means we're not just relying on known CVEs - we're continuously learning
from real-world hacks performed during pentests.

"The most impressive part is the certificate they give you. It shows that you actually pentest and don't just say that you do. Customers can be a tad more trusting in your security because it's not just lip service. The dashboard can be a little slow sometimes, but this "

Frequently asked questions
What do application penetration testing services include?
They combine automated scanning with expert manual testing covering reconnaissance, attack surface mapping, vulnerability exploitation (OWASP Top 10, auth, logic, APIs), and clear, risk-prioritized reporting.
What’s the difference between a vulnerability scan and an application penetration test?
A vulnerability scan is automated and flags known weaknesses regularly. In contrast, a penetration test is human-led, simulating real attacks to exploit issues and assess actual impact.
How often should we schedule application penetration tests?
At a minimum, annually. But, industries with higher risk, i.e, finance, healthcare, and e-commerce, should opt for quarterly or bi-annual tests. It should also be done after every major release, infrastructure changes, or security incidents.
Will testing impact production? Do you support staging and safe-testing guardrails?
Best pentesting providers design scope and guardrails to avoid production impact. They support staging environments, safe test bounds, and retesting in controlled settings.
(Note: Many providers offer kickoff calls, defined boundaries, and retest phases.)
Do application penetration testing services help with compliance?
Yes. They help meet PCI DSS, SOC 2, HIPAA, ISO 27001, GDPR, and more by validating controls, proving due diligence, and providing audit evidence via detailed reports.
