Define the workflows that matter
A public form, customer portal and administration interface have different permissions. Describe roles, data flows and sensitive functions. Identify the application’s APIs and third-party services to set clear boundaries. This makes the testing scope understandable to both technical and business owners.
Choose suitable checks
Penetration testing examines the behaviour of a running application. A code review can add insight when development context matters. To compare proposals, specify access provided, versions tested and included business workflows. These details help explain what will actually be examined.
Organise remediation
Identify who receives findings and who changes the software. Plan the technical review, remediation priorities and conditions for any retest. The aim is a clear set of actions linked to the scope actually examined, with ownership for follow-up.
