Security Baseline Assessment for Web Applications
We provide a high-impact, sampling-based testing service that identifies vulnerabilities by focusing on risk hotspots rather than bulk scanning. We give you the strategic clarity to manage M&A due diligence, software procurement, and enterprise-wide risk with total confidence.
How it works
Smart testing designed for impact. We prioritize high-probability risk zones over generic coverage, ensuring your most business-critical assets are protected first.

SYSTEM ANALYSIS
Attack surface mapping. Identification of vulnerability hotspots.

EXPERT-GUIDED TESTING
Manual testing of the vulnerability hotspots. Automated tools for extending test coverage.

VULNERABILITY VALIDATION
Elimination of false positives. Assessing severity based on business context and exploitability.

REPORTING
Documentation of validated vulnerabilities with remediation guidance.

ROADMAP DEVELOPMENT
Planning for follow-up assessments.
Recommendations for more comprehensive security assessments.

4. Mergers & Acquisitions
Due diligence, simplified. Uncover the hidden risks of internet-facing assets before the deal is done.
Security Baseline Assessment vs. Penetration Testing
SECURITY BASELINE ASSESSMENT
- Test coverage: Intelligent sampling; focus on features typically containing high-impact vulnerabilities
- Business impact evaluation: minimal
- Residual risk: medium* to low
- Cost: 5750 EUR (no scoping required)
- Timeline: 1 calendar week
*Testing large and complex applications with this model results in considerable test debt as the testing is by-design highly focused.
PENETRATION TESTING
- Test coverage: Comprehensive; all features and entry points (maximum attack surface coverage)
- Business impact evaluation: comprehensive
- Residual risk: Low to minimal
- Cost: 11 500 - 19 000 EUR (scoping required)
- Timeline: 2-3 calendar weeks
What our clients say
“Silverskin's testing process was smooth and they were helpful in adjusting to our needs during the security assessment. Silverskin replied to our questions in a timely manner and the security assessment was professionally performed. The final report showed us where to improve and we went through the minor issues and how to remediate them in the exit meeting. We are happy to recommend Silverskin's services and look forward to our next co-operation.”
