GraphQL's single flexible endpoint is powerful and easy to misconfigure — per-resolver authorization gaps are simple to introduce and hard to spot. We test GraphQL APIs for Cyprus SaaS and fintech teams against exactly these weaknesses.
We map the schema, attack authorization at the field level, and abuse aliases, batching and query depth to expose denial-of-service and rate-limit bypasses.
What we test
- Introspection & schema disclosure
- Per-resolver authorization (IDOR) gaps
- Alias/batching rate-limit bypass
- Query-depth & complexity denial of service
- Injection via arguments and variables
- Mutation and business-logic abuse
Common vulnerabilities we uncover
- Per-resolver authorization (IDOR) gaps
- Introspection and schema disclosure
- Alias and batching rate-limit bypass
- Query-depth and complexity denial of service
- Injection via arguments and variables
- Business-logic abuse through mutations
How we run your GraphQL Security Testing
- Kick-off & scoping. A short call to agree goals, in-scope assets and rules of engagement, so your graphql security testing is safe, authorised and aimed at your real business risk.
- Mapping & discovery. Before touching anything we map the full attack surface in scope, so nothing exploitable slips through.
- Hands-on testing. Cyprus-based specialists exploit and chain weaknesses manually — the flaws scanners walk straight past — to show genuine impact.
- Reporting. Each issue is verified, CVSS-rated and documented with a step-by-step reproduction and a practical fix your team can apply.
- Free retest. Once you have remediated, we re-test at no extra cost to confirm the attack path is truly closed.
What you receive
- Schema & resolver authorization map
- Findings with GraphQL query PoCs
- Severity ratings and hardening guidance
- Free retest after remediation
Your deliverables
When your graphql security testing wraps up, you receive a clear, audit-ready report plus a walkthrough call with your team. Inside you will find:
- A concise executive summary that management and the board can act on
- Every technical finding with a reproducible, copy-paste proof of concept
- CVSS v3.1 ratings and plain-language business impact for each issue
- Practical, prioritised remediation your developers can implement straight away
- A free retest and updated finding status once fixes are in place
- A signed attestation letter for clients, auditors, GDPR, NIS2 and ISO 27001

GraphQL security best practices
What you gain
By the end of your graphql security testing, you will know exactly which weaknesses a real attacker could exploit, what it would cost your business, and the precise order in which to fix them — backed by evidence, not a scanner’s guesswork. Cyprus firms use our findings to close critical gaps, satisfy client and regulator security questionnaires, and demonstrate due diligence for GDPR and NIS2. With a free retest included, you also get documented proof the issues are resolved.
Working with us
Every graphql security testing begins with a short, no-obligation scoping call to understand your goals, environment and constraints, followed by a fixed-price proposal. Most work is delivered remotely, and because we are based in Cyprus we work in your timezone with on-site visits across Limassol, Nicosia and island-wide where it helps. We keep you updated throughout and flag any critical finding immediately rather than waiting for the report. Everything is covered by a signed NDA and safe, non-disruptive testing that protects your production systems. You receive your report, a walkthrough and a complimentary retest once fixes land. Engagements are typically booked one to three weeks ahead, and urgent testing can often be arranged — just email hi@cypruspentest.com.

Frequently asked questions
Is introspection being enabled a real vulnerability?
Not always — many public APIs enable it by design. We calibrate severity honestly and focus on authorization and DoS issues.
Can this be part of a wider API test?
Yes, GraphQL testing is often scoped alongside REST testing as one API assessment.
Do you serve businesses across Cyprus?
Yes, in Limassol, Nicosia and island-wide, remotely or on-site.
