Our Offensive Testing Methodology
TrustLayerLabs combines industry-standard frameworks — OWASP Top 10, NIST SP 800-115, and PTES — with expert manual logic penetration testing to discover vulnerabilities automated scanners miss.
OWASP API & Web Top 10
Targeting BOLA, IDOR, BFLA, JWT signature exploits, XSS, SQLi, and rate-limiting bypasses.
NIST SP 800-115
Rigorous technical security testing guidelines for system discovery, vulnerability scanning, and exploitation.
PTES Framework
Structured Penetration Testing Execution Standard covering intelligence gathering, threat modeling, and reporting.
The 5 Phases of a TrustLayer VAPT Audit
Scoping & Mutual NDA Execution
We define precise target parameters, sign a mutual NDA, verify staging environment credentials, and agree on testing windows to guarantee zero production disruption.
Passive & Active Intelligence Reconnaissance
Mapping subdomains, active API routes, authentication endpoints, cloud storage buckets, and third-party dependency trees.
Deep Manual Logic & Authorization Penetration
Our OSCP-certified security architects manually intercept API queries in Burp Suite, test row-level tenant authorization (BOLA/IDOR), bypass JWT tokens, and validate session privileges.
CVSS v3.1 Severity Scoring & Remediation Reporting
Compiling zero-fluff technical reports with exact step-by-step reproduction scripts, PoCs, CVSS ratings, and ready-to-commit code patches.
Free Retesting & Scope Attestation Certificate
After your developers apply code patches, we retest 100% of discovered vulnerabilities for free within 30 days and issue your signed Attestation Certificate.
