Security testing

Security testing on every release, not once a year

Automated checks for the OWASP Top 10, broken authentication and vulnerable dependencies, run on every release. Findings are verified before they are filed, so your team fixes real risks.

An annual penetration test tells you how secure the product was on the week of the test. Every release after that can reopen an injection path, weaken an authorization check or pull in a vulnerable package.

QAShift adds security checks to your release pipeline. Common vulnerability classes are probed on every run, dependencies are scanned and authorization boundaries are tested as part of the normal suite.

What our security testing covers

  • Injection

    SQL, NoSQL and command injection probes against inputs and API parameters.

  • Cross-site scripting

    Reflected, stored and DOM-based XSS on user-controlled content.

  • Broken access control

    Users cannot read or change data belonging to other users, tenants or roles.

  • Authentication

    Session handling, token expiry, password reset and brute-force protection.

  • Vulnerable dependencies

    Known CVEs in direct and transitive packages, prioritised by exploitability.

  • Security headers and config

    CSP, HSTS, cookie flags, CORS and exposed debug endpoints.

What it catches before your customers do

  • An API endpoint returns another customer’s invoice when the ID is changed
  • A rich-text field stores a script that runs for every admin
  • A transitive dependency ships with a critical CVE
  • Password reset tokens never expire

Two ways to get it done

Run it yourself

Every Verity plan can generate security tests for common vulnerability classes and run them in CI alongside your functional tests.

We run it for you

Security is an add-on on Starter and Growth ($249/mo) and included on Scale. Your engineer verifies each finding and files it with the request that reproduces it.

What you get

  • Security checks in your pipeline
  • Verified findings with reproduction steps
  • Dependency CVE reports
  • A security gate on pull requests

Frequently asked questions

Does this replace a penetration test?

No. It complements one. Continuous automated testing catches common vulnerabilities between pen tests, while a specialist pen test explores complex attack chains.

Which vulnerabilities do you test for?

The OWASP Top 10 categories, including injection, XSS, broken access control and authentication flaws, plus vulnerable dependencies and misconfigurations.

Will security tests affect our staging data?

Tests run against a staging environment with test accounts, and destructive probes are scoped and agreed in advance.

How much does security testing cost?

Security tests are included on every self-serve plan. On managed plans it is a $249/mo add-on for Starter and Growth and included on Scale.
