Penetration testing services assess exploitable weaknesses in the systems your team builds and operates. Balhence tests web apps, APIs, SaaS, cloud, identity, and AI systems, confirms every finding by hand, and explains the fix so results can support a release, customer security review, or compliance audit.
Choose the service around the question you need answered. A web interface, its API and a multi-tenant product can share one assessment when their boundaries and access are included in the written scope.
| Your project | Start here | Bring to the discussion |
|---|---|---|
| A browser-based product or release | Web application penetration testing | Sign-in methods, user roles, important workflows and the supporting APIs. |
| An API used by clients or integrations | API penetration testing | Endpoint inventory, caller identities, token scopes and integration ownership. |
| Customers sharing a SaaS platform | SaaS penetration testing | Controlled tenants, workspace roles, SSO and legitimate sharing rules. |
| Cloud accounts and the workloads they host | Cloud penetration testing | Provider, accounts, regions, identities, resource inventory and permitted validation. |
| Internet-facing or internal infrastructure | Network penetration testing | Approved hosts and networks, remote access, segmentation paths and operational limits. |
| An LLM feature or agent | AI and LLM security testing | Data sources, tools, permissions, approvals and model/configuration versions. |
| Evidence for an audit or customer review | Compliance testing | The reviewer requirements, system boundary, evidence dates and re-test deadline. |
For a recurring release programme, plan scheduled testing cycles. If your request says only "VAPT", clarify assessment depth and expected evidence before comparing quotes.
Pick a starting point. If the problem spans several systems, we'll scope them together and confirm the skills and access needed.
Test the product your customers use: sign-in, permissions, business logic, data handling, and the connections between services.
Explore web application pentesting, API penetration testing, or SaaS security testing across tenants and roles.
Working with a US team? See our US penetration testing services and remote delivery terms.
Request an application pentestCheck what the app stores, which permissions it needs, how it updates, and what it trusts from connected services.
Discuss mobile or desktopReview approved cloud accounts, containers, clusters, access policies, and secrets. Distinguish configuration review from validated security impact and confirm provider rules before testing.
Explore cloud & Kubernetes coverageAssess authorized internal and internet-facing systems. Agree the hosts, access conditions and segmentation paths, then validate relevant findings within operational limits.
Explore external & internal network testingReview SSO, privileged access, service accounts, and what happens when someone joins, changes roles, or leaves.
Discuss identity securityCheck what your AI feature can read, which tools it can call, and when it needs a person's approval.
Explore AI & LLM penetration testingReview source code, architecture, dependencies, and where software comes from. Smart-contract work depends on the platform and specialist expertise available.
Discuss a code reviewImprove CI/CD checks, secrets handling, and infrastructure as code. Build defensive tools your team can keep using after the project.
Discuss secure deliveryRun agreed purple-team exercises, review the logs and alerts, and rehearse the decisions your team would make during an incident.
Discuss defense validationOrganize technical evidence, answer security questions, and identify gaps before a review. This work does not guarantee certification or acceptance.
Discuss security readinessExplore device, firmware, and connected-system assessments. We confirm specialist availability, lab access, and operational safety requirements before accepting the scope.
Discuss specialist scopeBring the system, research question, or tool you have in mind. We'll work out what's feasible and agree on a useful first milestone.
Explore a custom projectTie the test to the decision: an audit, customer review, or renewal. Agree the boundary, evidence, and re-test record with your reviewer. The assessment supports your compliance work without guaranteeing the outcome.
Three ways to plan web and API work. Timing depends on scope and readiness. For another kind of project, tell us what you have in mind.
Check one sensitive feature or workflow before you release it.
End-to-end testing of one customer-facing application and its supporting APIs.
After an initial assessment, keep testing the changes that matter as your product grows.
Two products with the same number of screens can need very different tests. We look at the systems, access relationships, and questions you need answered.
| Scope detail | Simpler setup | More involved setup | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Systems involved | One defined system or environment | Several products, accounts, sites, or platforms | Each system brings its own boundaries and dependencies |
| Access & identity | A small set of roles | Multiple tenants, partners, or privileged identities | Access relationships need time to understand and assess |
| Depth of work | A focused review or question | Hands-on assessment, engineering, or research | The approach and deliverables need different skills and time |
| Specialist requirements | Established tools and test environments | Hardware, dedicated labs, or specialist platforms | Expertise, equipment, and availability must be confirmed |
| Environment & readiness | Stable test environment, documentation ready | Live operations, sparse documentation, changing systems | Safety controls and preparation affect the schedule |
| Outcome & evidence | Findings and practical recommendations | Implementation support, exercises, or audit mapping | We agree on what your team needs to take away |
We're AI-native: approved AI tools help with research, analysis, and engineering. A person validates findings and takes responsibility for delivery. Here's how we use AI in testing.
What are you building, changing, or worried about? That conversation sets the direction before we pick tools or write a test plan.
We match the work to the systems involved and confirm specialist requirements early. You know what is covered and where the limits are.
AI workflows, approved tools, and data handling are part of the engagement agreement. Sensitive material stays within the agreed boundaries.
Tools support the work; they do not expand the authorization. Human review and agreed safety controls guide consequential actions.
Reported findings are human-verified. We distinguish confirmed issues from open questions and explain their practical impact.
You get useful findings, priorities, and recommendations. Implementation support and follow-up validation can be included in the scope.
An assessment may lead to a code change, a better alert, or a new tool. We can scope that follow-up with you.
A focused review or a wider assessment, with evidence your technical and leadership teams can use to make decisions.
Discuss an assessmentSecure design reviews, defensive tooling, and engineering support that help turn recommendations into changes your team can maintain.
Discuss engineering supportResearch, team workshops, readiness exercises, and follow-up reviews, shaped around the questions your next stage brings.
Plan what comes nextWhat's included, how testing starts, and what happens if we find something urgent.
No. Application testing is one part of the practice. We also scope cloud, infrastructure, identity, AI, code, secure delivery, detection, readiness, and specialist work. You can combine capabilities in one engagement.
We use approved AI assistance to support analysis, review, research, and tooling where it is useful. People remain responsible for decisions and validate reported findings. We agree on tool use and data handling before sharing engagement material with AI services. See our AI and LLM security testing for assessments of the AI features you build.
Yes. Tell us what you're trying to work out. We'll discuss whether we can help, what skills and access it needs, and a first milestone. Specialist work depends on confirmed expertise and safe testing conditions.
Yes, when production testing is authorized and appropriate. The rules of engagement must define safe techniques, rate limits, test data, customer-data handling, monitoring, escalation contacts, and stop conditions. A representative staging environment is preferred for riskier scenarios.
Share the request, framework, and deadline during scoping. We can help organize evidence and identify technical gaps, while being clear about what needs a formal auditor or certification body. An assessment does not guarantee certification or audit acceptance.
The re-test update records each finding as fixed, partially fixed, not fixed, or not re-tested. A concise closure letter can summarize the agreed outcome without claiming that the entire system is vulnerability-free.
No testing begins without an executed agreement, written authorization, finalized scope, and rules of engagement. Scoping and document review can happen while procurement progresses.
We use the agreed escalation channel immediately rather than waiting for the final report. Testing pauses if the rules or safety conditions require it.
Tell us about the application or system and any deadline. We'll ask the questions needed to put a scope and proposal together.
We deliver remotely for teams in India and US companies. Use the regional service pages to plan access, communication and evidence handling.
Build a private web or API scope draft, review a sample pentest report, and compare the factors behind a pentest quote.
