The OWASP Top 10 is the world's most recognised list of web application security risks, and for a Cyprus business it is the clearest way to show clients and regulators you have covered the fundamentals. Our OWASP Top 10 penetration testing methodically exercises every category by hand — from broken access control through to SSRF — and proves real, exploitable impact rather than a scanner's guesswork.
The 2025 revision keeps Broken Access Control at number one and elevates security misconfiguration and supply-chain risk. We test against both the 2021 and 2025 editions, so the report you show a Cyprus client or a CySEC auditor reflects the current standard, not last year's.
OWASP Top 10 Penetration Testing: manual, exploit-led coverage for Limassol & island-wide Cyprus businesses.
Why it matters
For CySEC-regulated firms and companies handling EU data, an OWASP-aligned report is fast becoming a baseline expectation in client due-diligence and NIS2 supply-chain reviews. A scan that merely names categories will not satisfy a serious auditor; proven, manually exploited findings will.
What we test
Broken access control (OWASP A01)
Cryptographic failures (A02)
Injection: SQL, NoSQL, command, LDAP (A03)
Insecure design & business-logic flaws (A04)
Security misconfiguration (A05)
Vulnerable & outdated components (A06)
Identification & authentication failures (A07)
Software & data integrity failures (A08)
Security logging & monitoring failures (A09)
Server-side request forgery — SSRF (A10)
Common vulnerabilities we uncover
Broken access control and privilege escalation
SQL and command injection
Weak or missing cryptography
Exploitable outdated components with known CVEs
Authentication and session weaknesses
SSRF reaching internal services
How we run your engagement
Kick-off & scoping. A short call to agree goals, in-scope assets and rules of engagement, so your owasp top 10 penetration 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.
Tools & techniques
We anchor coverage in the OWASP Web Security Testing Guide and grade against ASVS, driving the work with Burp Suite Professional and heavy manual testing. Each of the ten categories is exercised deliberately — access control across every role, injection traced from input to sink, and configuration reviewed against hardening baselines.
Where categories combine — a misconfiguration that enables access-control bypass, for instance — we chain them into a single proof-of-concept so you see the real-world attack path, not ten isolated checkboxes.

What you gain
By the end of your owasp top 10 penetration 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 owasp top 10 penetration 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.
