Every digital application contains potential vulnerabilities. The earlier you identify them, the better you can protect your company from cyberattacks and the associated economic damage. Application penetration testing—often referred to as application pentesting helps you detect and remediate critical security flaws in self-developed or third-party applications—before going live.
You’ll understand how resilient your applications truly are when you commission a simulated cyberattack. That’s what Application Penetration Testing—or Pentesting—is for. Our IT security experts act as ethical hackers to thoroughly test your applications and uncover weaknesses before a real attack occurs.
A pentest is more than just a security check: you also receive detailed assessments of discovered vulnerabilities and concrete suggestions for remediation.

Customised test concepts
We customise the scope and methods used in our penetration tests to your specific requirements and, if necessary, check all attack vectors down to source code level.
Support for your development teams
We support you in remedying all vulnerabilities and security gaps by not only documenting them, but also providing concrete solutions for eliminating them.
Transparent reporting
After the pentest, you will receive a detailed report with clear explanations of the vulnerabilities found, criticality assessments and recommendations for action.
Context-sensitive testing
Unlike standard tool-based tests, we take into account the specific context of use of an application in order to identify security vulnerabilities at the business logic level as well.
Extensive software expertise
As security experts with roots in software development, we have a deep understanding of programme architecture, which allows us to quickly identify critical code locations in a system.
In today’s digital business world, the security and integrity of applications and services are strategic success factors. Pentests help you safeguard investments and secure long-term competitive advantages:
iteratec has been one of Germany's leading software development service providers since 1996. We hold multiple certifications and are an official project partner of OWASP.

With experience from over 1,000 successful software development projects, we know what’s required for application security and how development teams work. That’s why we can support companies throughout the entire secure software lifecycle—from threat modeling to pentesting to secure DevSecOps-based operations.
