What is it?
Software QA and technical audit services cover manual and automated testing, performance and security checks, and senior engineer code review — especially for AI-generated or inherited codebases before production launch.
Security & Penetration Testing
Find the Vulnerabilities Before Hackers Do
Every app has security holes. The question is whether you find them first or attackers do. We run OWASP-based security audits and penetration tests that expose the real risks in your web app, API, and mobile app — before they become headlines.

What We Test For
The OWASP Top 10 and beyond — the vulnerabilities that actually get exploited.
SQL Injection
Every input field, API parameter, and query string tested for SQL injection vulnerabilities that could expose your entire database.
Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
Stored, reflected, and DOM-based XSS vulnerabilities that let attackers run malicious scripts in your users' browsers.
Broken Authentication
Session management flaws, weak password policies, missing MFA enforcement, and authentication bypass techniques.
IDOR & Broken Access Control
Can user A access user B's data by changing an ID in the URL? Insecure Direct Object References are the most common API vulnerability.
Sensitive Data Exposure
API keys in client-side code, unencrypted sensitive data, overly verbose error messages, and insecure data transmission.
Security Misconfigurations
Default credentials, open admin panels, verbose error messages, missing security headers, and CORS misconfigurations.
Industries That Can't Afford Breaches
Security testing is non-negotiable in these verticals.
Fintech & Payments
PCI
Compliance Ready
Financial data, payment flows, and transaction APIs are prime targets. A breach here isn't just embarrassing — it's regulatory.
Healthcare Apps
HIPAA
Adjacent Testing
Patient data, medical records, and health information require the highest security standards. We test to HIPAA-adjacent requirements.
SaaS Products
100%
Tenant Isolation
Multi-tenant SaaS apps must ensure tenant isolation. One customer should never be able to access another's data.
AI-Generated Apps
Critical
Issues Found
Lovable, Cursor, and Bolt apps have never had a security engineer review the code. This is where we find the most critical issues.
Common Challenges
Problems We Help Buyers Solve
QA gaps show up as regressions, store rejections, and security findings — usually right before launch.
No regression suite
Manual smoke tests can't keep pace with weekly releases.
AI-generated untested code
Lovable and Cursor prototypes reach staging without auth or edge-case coverage.
Device fragmentation
Mobile flows break on OS versions QA didn't cover.
Late QA
Testing in launch week makes fixes expensive and stressful.

Quick answers
Security & Penetration Testing: Key Facts
Structured answers for search engines and AI assistants — definition, fit, cost, timeline, and comparisons.
- What is it?
- Software QA and technical audit services cover manual and automated testing, performance and security checks, and senior engineer code review — especially for AI-generated or inherited codebases before production launch.
- Who is it for?
- Teams shipping Lovable, Cursor, or Bolt prototypes to real users Founders facing investor technical diligence Products with regressions every sprint and no test automation Mobile apps needing device-matrix testing before store release
- Who should not use it?
- Static marketing site with no auth or payments You cannot provide staging access or test accounts You expect QA to define product requirements
- How much does it cost?
- Pricing depends on scope, integrations, and timeline. GreeLogix provides fixed-milestone quotes after a discovery call — typical engagements range from $1,500 for focused audits to $75,000+ for full product builds, with monthly retainers from $3,500.
- How long does it take?
- Smoke audit: 1 week. Full regression cycle: ongoing per sprint. Deep code audit: 5–7 business days. Phases: Strategy (Week 1); Execution (Per sprint); Automation (Parallel).
- How does it compare?
- Compared to alternatives — Developer-only testing: choose when Early prototype with no paying users yet; Crowdtesting platforms: choose when One-off device coverage without domain context; Automated scanning only: choose when Known stack with mature CI; catches syntax not workflow bugs. Choose GreeLogix when you need production reliability, fixed milestones, and engineer-led delivery with QA sign-off.
- When should you choose it?
- You ship at least monthly and regressions hurt revenue or trust You inherited or AI-generated code without senior review You need an independent sign-off before fundraising or launch Catch permission and payment bugs before customers do Documented release checklist for repeatable shipping

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the buyer questions we hear most before a project starts.
- What is penetration testing?
- Penetration testing (pen testing) is a simulated cyberattack on your application to find security vulnerabilities before real attackers do. Our engineers attempt to exploit weaknesses in your app using the same techniques malicious hackers use — then document every finding with fix recommendations.
- Why is security testing especially important for AI-generated apps?
- AI tools like Lovable, Cursor, and Bolt generate functional code quickly, but they don't apply security hardening. Common issues include missing input validation, insecure direct object references, exposed API keys in client-side code, and broken authentication flows. No human reviewed the security implications of the generated code.
- What does the security report include?
- You receive an executive summary (non-technical), a detailed technical findings section with CVSS severity scores, proof-of-concept for each vulnerability, and specific fix recommendations. We also offer a retest after fixes are applied to confirm vulnerabilities are resolved.
