Authorized website, web application, API and infrastructure security audits—combining human reasoning with careful automation, verified evidence and a practical remediation roadmap.
One audit surface. Every layer that can break trust.
A useful assessment goes beyond an SSL check or vulnerability scanner. Mohuls can combine the areas below into one authorized scope based on your architecture, data, users and risk.
01
Foundation
Attack surface & exposure discovery
We map what an attacker can learn before touching the application and identify forgotten public entry points.
Domains, subdomains, hosts, ports and public services
Technology fingerprinting and exposed version information
Archived, staging, test, backup and administrative endpoints
Public files, metadata, source maps and accidental secret exposure
Search-engine and repository information leakage
02
Foundation
DNS, TLS & transport security
We inspect the trust path from domain resolution to the encrypted browser or API connection.
DNS records, dangling records and subdomain-takeover conditions
Certificate chain, hostname coverage, expiry and renewal posture
TLS versions, cipher posture, HTTPS redirects and mixed content
HSTS deployment and preload-readiness considerations
SPF, DKIM and DMARC alignment when email is in scope
03
Foundation
Platform configuration & browser defenses
We look for unsafe defaults, verbose behavior and weak response controls across the delivery stack.
Security headers including CSP, frame controls and Referrer-Policy
CORS, cache-control, MIME handling and HTTP method exposure
Default pages, directory indexing, debug output and stack traces
Reverse proxy, CDN, WAF and origin exposure checks
Cookie flags, cross-origin isolation and clickjacking defenses
04
Application
Identity, authentication & recovery
We test how identities are created, verified, challenged, recovered and protected from automation.
Registration, login, logout and account enumeration
Password policy, reset tokens, recovery and email/phone changes
MFA enrollment, verification, recovery and bypass resistance
Brute-force, credential-stuffing and rate-limit controls
SSO, OAuth/OIDC state, redirect and account-linking behavior
05
Application
Sessions & access control
We verify that every role, tenant, object and privileged action is restricted on the server—not only hidden in the interface.
Horizontal and vertical privilege escalation
Object-level, property-level and function-level authorization
Tenant isolation and cross-account data access
Session fixation, rotation, expiry, revocation and concurrent sessions
CSRF, token handling, remember-me and device-management controls
06
Application
Input, output & data handling
We trace untrusted data through browsers, APIs, databases, templates, files and operating-system boundaries.
SQL/NoSQL, command, template, LDAP and header injection
Reflected, stored and DOM-based cross-site scripting
Path traversal, local/remote inclusion and unsafe redirects
File upload validation, storage, retrieval and malware exposure
Deserialization, XML entities, SSRF and server-side fetch behavior
07
Advanced
API, GraphQL & integration security
We test endpoints as a separate attack surface, including authorization, inventory, resource use and third-party trust.
REST, GraphQL, webhook and realtime endpoint inventory
BOLA/BFLA, mass assignment and excessive data exposure
Schema introspection, batching, pagination and query-depth abuse
Rate limits, resource consumption and sensitive business flows
Webhook signing, replay resistance and unsafe third-party API data
08
Advanced
Business logic & abuse cases
We test the rules unique to your product—the gaps scanners cannot understand without human reasoning.
Workflow bypass, step skipping and out-of-order actions
Price, quantity, discount, credit and subscription manipulation
Duplicate transactions, race conditions and replay
Inventory, invitation, referral and entitlement abuse
Bot resistance and limits around high-value actions
09
Application
Client-side & frontend security
We examine the browser boundary, storage, messaging and dependency behavior that shape user-side risk.
Sensitive data in bundles, source maps and browser storage
DOM sinks, postMessage, iframe and cross-window trust
Third-party scripts, integrity controls and tag-manager exposure
Service workers, offline caches and progressive web app behavior
WebSocket origin, authentication and message authorization
10
Advanced
Dependencies & software supply chain
We identify known vulnerable components and weak build or release controls that can undermine otherwise secure code.
Dependency and framework vulnerability review
Outdated, abandoned and unnecessary packages
Lockfile, build artifact and package-source integrity
CI/CD secrets, permissions and untrusted workflow inputs
Container image, SBOM and release provenance review when available
11
Advanced
Hosting, cloud & deployment posture
With approved access, we review the infrastructure controls that protect the application behind the public URL.
Server hardening, patch posture and unnecessary services
Firewall, network exposure and administrative access paths
Cloud storage, IAM permissions and public resource configuration
Container isolation, runtime privileges and secret injection
Backups, encryption, environment separation and recovery controls
12
Advanced
Code, logging & response readiness
We connect prevention with detection, reviewable evidence and changes your engineering team can actually ship.
Targeted source-code and architecture review when included
Secret handling, cryptography use and sensitive-data lifecycle
Security event logging without credential or personal-data leakage
Alerting, audit trails, tamper resistance and incident evidence
Fix validation, regression advice and focused retesting
Choose the right depth
From a public website check to full-stack assurance.
Assessment depth is matched to business risk—not sold as a generic scan. Every engagement starts with scope and rules of engagement; deeper access adds stronger assurance.
Foundation
Public website baseline
For marketing sites and public web properties that need fast clarity on exposure, transport, configuration, browser defenses and common weaknesses.
Safety first: destructive actions, denial-of-service, social engineering, physical testing and third-party systems are excluded unless expressly authorized, appropriately isolated and documented in the rules of engagement.
How the audit works
Controlled testing. Clear evidence. No mystery report.
The process keeps your team informed and your systems protected while still giving experienced testers room to follow meaningful attack paths.
01
Authorize & scope
Agree targets, accounts, environments, exclusions, time windows, test intensity and emergency contacts before active testing.
02
Map the attack surface
Inventory public assets, entry points, roles, trust boundaries, APIs, business flows and the data that matters most.
03
Test with tools + people
Combine repeatable automated checks with manual adversarial testing for authorization, workflows and context-specific weaknesses.
04
Verify every finding
Remove scanner noise, reproduce safely, capture evidence, assess exploit conditions and connect technical impact to business impact.
05
Report a path to safer
Deliver prioritized findings, practical fixes, affected assets, owners, quick wins and longer-term control improvements.
06
Retest the fixes
Recheck remediated findings, validate surrounding controls and record what is closed, reduced, accepted or still open.
Deliverables, not alarm
A report built for decisions and fixes.
Leaders need a truthful risk picture. Engineers need proof and a path to remediation. The final package is structured for both.
Executive risk brief
A clear, non-technical view of exposure, likely business impact and the decisions that need attention first.
Evidence-backed findings
Severity, affected assets, prerequisites, reproducible steps, evidence and impact—without filler or unverified scanner output.
Engineering remediation
Specific defensive guidance, configuration changes, secure patterns and verification notes your delivery team can act on.
Prioritized action plan
Critical-now, near-term and structural improvements grouped by risk, effort, ownership and dependency.
Standards mapping
Relevant findings mapped to the agreed OWASP, ASVS, API, NIST or organizational control references.
Retest record
A focused verification pass showing closed, partially resolved, accepted and remaining findings after remediation.

Grounded in recognized guidance
A methodology you can recognize and trace.
We select relevant tests from authoritative security guidance, then adapt them to your architecture and threat model. References support the work; they do not turn a scoped audit into a blanket certification.
OWASP, NIST, CIS and CISA names identify independent public guidance referenced by the methodology. Mohuls Soft Limited is not claiming affiliation, endorsement or certification by those organizations.
No surprise active testing
Authorization is a security control too.
Mohuls tests only systems the client is authorized to assess. Scope, contact paths, evidence handling, data sensitivity, stop conditions and excluded techniques are recorded before testing.

What is included in a Mohuls website security audit?
A scoped engagement can cover external exposure, DNS and TLS, security headers, authentication, sessions, access control, input handling, file uploads, APIs, business logic, client-side behavior, dependencies, hosting configuration, logging and targeted source review. We confirm the exact hosts, environments, accounts and test limits before any active testing begins.
02
Is a website security audit the same as an automated vulnerability scan?
No. Automated tools are useful for coverage and repeatability, but they cannot reliably understand tenant boundaries, authorization intent, multi-step workflows, pricing rules or business abuse. Mohuls combines appropriate tooling with manual verification and removes unverified scanner noise from the final findings.
03
Will the audit disrupt our live website?
Testing is designed around an agreed rules-of-engagement document. We define approved targets, time windows, rate limits, excluded actions, emergency contacts and whether potentially disruptive checks must run in staging. No denial-of-service or destructive testing is performed unless it is explicitly authorized and safely isolated.
04
Do you test APIs, authenticated areas and customer portals?
Yes. With suitable test accounts and authorization, we assess REST, GraphQL, webhooks, realtime interfaces, role boundaries, object-level access, tenant isolation, session behavior and sensitive business flows alongside the browser-facing website.
05
What do we receive after the security audit?
You receive an executive summary, scope and methodology, evidence-backed findings, affected assets, reproducible steps, risk and business impact, remediation recommendations and a prioritized action plan. A retest can verify that fixes work without introducing regressions.
06
Does the audit certify that our website is completely secure?
No responsible security audit can guarantee that a system is permanently vulnerability-free. The report describes the tested scope, time window, access level, techniques and observed risk. New releases, configuration changes, dependencies and threats can change the security posture after testing.
07
Can Mohuls review source code and infrastructure too?
Yes. Where included in scope, Mohuls Soft Limited can add targeted source-code review, architecture and data-flow review, dependency analysis, CI/CD controls, container configuration, cloud permissions, server hardening, logging and secrets management to the external and authenticated application assessment.
08
How do we start a Website Security Mohuls Soft Limited engagement?
Contact Mohuls with the primary domain, application type, environments, authentication model, API details, preferred testing window and any compliance or release deadline. We will define an authorized scope and recommend the right assessment depth before testing.
Your next release deserves more than hope.
Tell Mohuls Soft Limited what you run, what matters most and when you plan to ship. We will shape an authorized Website Security audit around the real risk.
