Offensive security
DAST
Runtime, black-box scanning of staging and production-like environments, authenticated and tuned.
Security testing
In plain terms DAST
What this is
Runtime, black-box scanning of staging and production-like environments, authenticated and tuned.
Why it can hurt you
Unauthenticated scans only see the login page; the vulnerable app behind it never gets tested.
Security testing
Why it matters to you DAST
The problem
Unauthenticated scans only see the login page; the vulnerable app behind it never gets tested.
Runtime coverage
Catches issues that only manifest when the app is actually running.
Low integration cost
No source access required, works against any live environment.
Security testing
How we do it DAST
Authenticated crawling
Scan configured with real session tokens to reach post-login functionality.
Scheduled scanning
Recurring scans against staging or production-like environments.
Manual validation
Every high/critical finding confirmed by hand before reporting.
Security testing
What we typically find DAST
Reflected & stored XSS
Script injection surfaced through unauthenticated and authenticated flows.
Security misconfiguration
Missing headers, verbose errors, exposed debug endpoints.
Outdated components
Runtime-detectable library versions with known CVEs.
No scanner dump. A fixed problem.
Every finding is reproduced by hand and comes with a working proof of concept.
Security testing
What lands on your desk DAST
Scan report
Findings with confidence rating and confirmed reproduction.
Trend report
New vs. recurring findings across scan cycles.
Security testing
What you get out of it DAST
Runtime coverage
Catches issues that only manifest when the app is actually running.
Low integration cost
No source access required, works against any live environment.
Security testing
Step by step DAST
1. Authenticated crawling
Scan configured with real session tokens to reach post-login functionality.
2. Scheduled scanning
Recurring scans against staging or production-like environments.
3. Manual validation
Every high/critical finding confirmed by hand before reporting.

A scoping call is thirty minutes, costs nothing, and ends with a fixed price and a date. If we are not the right people for the job, we will tell you that too.
