Services Web Security Audit & Hardening
.
Web application security reviews that find the real problems and fix them. Audits and hardening backed by web security and penetration testing certifications.
Most security issues are not exotic. They are missed login checks, unchecked inputs, exposed admin panels and outdated dependencies. I review your Laravel, WordPress or Strapi application against the OWASP Top 10 and beyond, then fix what I find. This covers both a one-off audit and the hardening work that follows. I look at how your application handles authentication, authorization, input validation, file uploads and third party plugins, because those are where most real-world breaches start.
.
- Security audits covering the OWASP Top 10 and common misconfigurations
- Review of authentication, authorization and session handling
- Input validation, SQL injection and XSS checks
- Hardening of server, framework and CMS settings
- Securing admin panels and restricting exposed areas
- Reviewing third party plugins, packages and dependencies for known issues
- Clear reports of what was found, how serious it is, and how it was fixed
.
I start with a review of your application, its configuration and its dependencies. Then I go through the code and running system looking for the weaknesses that matter, prioritizing by risk so you know what to fix first. I fix what I can directly and give you a clear report for anything that needs your decision. When the work is done you get a hardened system plus a checklist you can reuse after future changes.
.
A security breach is expensive in ways that go beyond the fix. Stolen data, downtime and lost trust are hard to recover from. Most successful attacks exploit basic gaps that a proper review catches early. Given that I hold certifications in web application security, penetration testing and related fields, this is a service backed by training, not just experience.

FAQ.
What does a security audit cover?
I review authentication, authorization, input handling, file uploads, server and framework configuration, third party plugins and dependencies, and exposure of sensitive areas like admin panels. Findings are prioritized by risk.
Do you only audit, or do you fix too?
Both. I fix what I can during the engagement and provide a clear report for anything that needs your input, like decisions about how authentication should work.
Which platforms do you audit?
Laravel and PHP applications, WordPress sites, and Strapi setups. That covers the stacks I work with, so I review the code and the CMS ecosystem, not just the surface.
Is this a penetration test?
It is a security review and hardening service informed by penetration testing experience. If you need a formal pentest engagement with a specific scope and report format, we can discuss how deep that should go.
