Our Methodology

At YogSec, we follow a structured, ethical, and real-world security testing methodology. Our approach is designed to identify vulnerabilities the same way real attackers would—while ensuring your website remains safe, stable, and available throughout the process.

We combine manual testing, industry standards, and responsible security practices to deliver accurate and actionable results.


1. Scope Definition & Planning

Every engagement begins with understanding your website, application, and business goals. We clearly define the scope of testing to ensure it is safe, relevant, and effective.

  • Application and domain scope
  • Technology stack and architecture
  • Testing boundaries and exclusions
  • Business priorities and risk tolerance

2. Information Gathering & Reconnaissance

We analyze in-scope, publicly available information to understand how your application is exposed. This helps us view your system from an attacker’s perspective.

  • Technology fingerprinting
  • Attack surface mapping
  • Endpoint and input discovery
  • Configuration analysis

3. Vulnerability Identification

Using a combination of trusted tools and manual testing techniques, we identify real security weaknesses that could be exploited in real-world attacks.

  • OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities
  • Authentication and session issues
  • Access control flaws
  • Input validation and injection risks
  • Security misconfigurations
  • Sensitive data exposure
  • API and integration security (where applicable)

4. Controlled Exploitation (Safe & Ethical)

Where necessary, we safely validate vulnerabilities to confirm real impact. All testing is conducted responsibly.

  • No destructive testing
  • No service disruption
  • No data modification or deletion
  • No access to private user data

5. Risk Analysis & Prioritization

Not all vulnerabilities carry the same level of risk. We prioritize findings based on severity, exploitability, and business impact.

  • Severity levels: Low, Medium, High, Critical
  • Likelihood of exploitation
  • Potential business and reputational impact

6. Reporting & Documentation

You receive a clear, easy-to-understand security report designed for both technical and non-technical teams.

  • Detailed vulnerability descriptions
  • Risk severity ratings
  • Proof-of-Concept (where applicable)
  • Business impact explanation
  • Step-by-step remediation guidance

7. Remediation Guidance & Support

Security doesn’t end with a report. We support you during remediation by explaining fixes and answering follow-up questions.

  • Clear remediation instructions
  • Security consultation support
  • Re-validation after fixes (if required)

Continuous Monitoring (Monthly Plans)

For clients using our Monthly Security Monitoring service, key security checks are performed regularly to detect new risks introduced by updates, configuration changes, or emerging threats.
