OWASM ZAP
Security Testing
Open source
<What you get/>
Authenticated, end-to-end scans that cover every link, navigation flow, and API endpoint in scope, not just the public pages.
Findings mapped to OWASP Top 10 risk categories with a clear description of each loophole and how to resolve it.
Manual verification of every flagged issue before it enters your report, so you fix real vulnerabilities instead of chasing false positives.
A severity-graded report (High / Medium / Low / Informational) your developers can act on directly.
What it is
OWASP ZAP (Zed Attack Proxy) is an open-source web application security scanner maintained under the OWASP umbrella, the same community behind the OWASP Top 10.
Given a target URL and credentials, it crawls the full application, every link, navigation flow, and API call, and probes for security loopholes: injection points, misconfigured headers and policies, session weaknesses, vulnerable client-side libraries, and information disclosure.
For each finding it describes the loophole, its risk, and how to resolve it, which makes it a strong backbone for the assessment half of a VAPT.
How PerfectQA uses OWASM ZAP
ZAP is the scanning backbone of our security and penetration testing work. We start with an authenticated scan of the full application surface, web pages and REST APIs together, so coverage isn't limited to what an anonymous visitor can reach.
The scanner's output is a starting point, not the deliverable: our engineers manually verify each flagged issue, discard false positives, test the business-logic and access-control scenarios a scanner can't judge, and grade what remains by severity.
That verified set becomes the report your developers receive, each finding paired with concrete fix guidance, and the same scan configuration is re-run during regression to confirm every resolution.
We chose ZAP deliberately: it is free and open-source, actively maintained, runs on every platform our team uses, and its results stand up when a licensing body or investor reviews the methodology behind your certificate.
