Website Security Audit Services
A fixed-price, 5 business days audit of your authentication, access control, and code — not an automated scan, and not a sales pitch dressed up as a warning. You get a written report ranked by severity, covering everything from login security to the CVEs sitting in your dependencies, plus a fixed-price quote to fix what we find.
A website security audit is a systematic review of your authentication, access control, and code — not a guess, and not marketing copy dressed up as a warning. We read the application the way an attacker would, but we report findings the way an engineer would: what's wrong, how serious it actually is, and what it costs to fix. No inflated severity ratings to justify a bigger invoice, and no vague "critical vulnerabilities found" language without specifics. Every finding in the report is reproducible, and every fix comes with a fixed price before you commit to it.
Four situations, one audit
You don't need to already know what's wrong. You need someone who's built enough web applications to know where the wrong things usually hide.
Before it goes live
The build is close to done and about to start handling real customer data or payments. A review before launch is faster and less disruptive than one after — nothing gets rolled back, nothing gets rescheduled.
You inherited the codebase
An agency finished the project and moved on, a freelancer's contract ended, or an in-house developer left. Someone on your team is now responsible for code nobody currently there wrote, and nobody's checked it for gaps.
Something already happened
Unexpected redirects, a spam-sending contact form, a defacement, or a customer asking why their account shows someone else's order. The audit identifies what happened and whether it's actually closed, not just papered over.
Due diligence on a deal
You're acquiring a company, or investing in one, and a web platform is part of what's changing hands. The audit tells you what you're actually taking on before the deal closes, not after.
What the audit actually covers
No generic checklist scan. Six areas, each checked against how web applications actually get broken into — plus a prioritized fix list and a fixed-price remediation quote for every finding.
Authentication
Session handling, password policy, login throttling, password-reset flows, and any 2FA/OTP gaps — checked for the usual ways an attacker walks straight in through the front door.
Access control & IDOR
Every record-scoped page and API endpoint checked for missing ownership checks — the single most common way one user ends up looking at another user's data.
Injection classes
SQL injection, cross-site scripting, command injection, and template injection risk in form inputs, file uploads, and any code that shells out or builds a raw query.
Dependency & CVE scan
Your full dependency lockfile checked against known, disclosed CVEs, plus outdated language and framework versions carrying published vulnerabilities.
Configuration & secrets hygiene
Debug mode left on in production, exposed .env or .git directories, weak or default keys, and credentials that leaked into commit history.
Security headers & cookies
CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy, plus Secure/HttpOnly/SameSite cookie flags — checked against what your site actually serves, not what a template assumes.
What a scanner catches — and what it doesn't
Automated scanners are a real, useful layer. They're also not what this audit is. Here's the difference, plainly.
What an automated scanner checks
- Dependency versions checked against a public CVE database
- Missing or misconfigured security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options)
- Expired, self-signed, or misconfigured TLS certificates
- A fixed library of known injection payloads run against every input field
- Common misconfigurations with a public fingerprint — default admin paths, exposed debug routes
What a manual audit checks
- Whether logging in as User A lets you view or edit User B's data by changing an ID in the URL or an API call — IDOR
- Whether a lower-privileged account can reach an admin-only action the interface simply doesn't show them
- Business-logic flaws — a checkout that trusts a client-submitted price, a coupon that stacks past its intended limit
- Multi-step flows a scanner can't complete unassisted — password reset, invite links, session handoffs between roles
- Whether an exposed endpoint is actually dangerous in the context of your specific application, not just present
Most of what shows up in real breach reports — broken access control, business-logic abuse — falls in the second column. That's the gap this audit is built to close.
Website Security Audit — from $1,900
A fixed-price, five-business-day review of your authentication, access control, and code — regardless of your stack. You get a written report ranked by severity and a fixed-price quote to fix each finding, with no open-ended hourly billing on the audit itself.

- Injection testing — SQL, XSS, command, and file-upload paths
- Dependency and CVE scan against your lockfile
- Configuration and secrets hygiene review
- Security header and cookie-flag audit
- Prioritized written report, ranked critical to low
- Fixed-price remediation quote for every finding
Built for what you actually run
The method here — authentication, access control, injection, dependency and CVE scanning, configuration and header hygiene — applies to any custom-coded application: Laravel, Next.js and Node, Django, or a legacy PHP or JavaScript codebase someone else wrote.
- If you're specifically on Laravel, our Laravel Security Audit page covers a few extra framework-specific checks on top of this same method — worth reading if that's your stack. If your site is a pure WordPress install with no custom code, a WordPress-specialist audit is usually the better fit, and we'll say so upfront rather than take an engagement that isn't ours to run.
- Once the report's fixes are in, ongoing monitoring lives on our website maintenance plans. Most audit clients move onto the $750/mo Priority plan afterward — quarterly re-audits and a same-day response line, so the next issue gets caught before it does damage.
