Managed Application Security Testing

Protect and enable the business at the speed of change

The need for reliable and scalable application security, delivered when and how you need it

As security breaches continue to increase, are you staying ahead of sophisticated threat actors? How can you protect critical applications, inspire stakeholder trust, and build resilience in a volatile world?

One way is with application security testing, which is an essential layer of cybersecurity. And in today’s environment of constant change, testing must go far beyond point-in-time assessments.  

Instead, it should be ongoing and comprehensive, continually scanning for threats and ensuring proper controls across devices, applications, networks, and application programming interfaces (APIs).

An ever-evolving journey

That’s why KPMG offers Managed Application Security Testing (MAST), customized to your business strategy and compliance requirements. This managed service combines advanced technology, leading practice, and industry-specific expertise—including analysts who are certified in offensive security—to help you actively evolve your security program at the pace of threats.

KPMG MAST services include:

Full-stack application/API testing at scale

With advanced manual penetration testing of web apps, mobile apps and APIs, we identify and exploit the business logic vulnerabilities that may be missed by automated scanners.

Cloud and network testing

We combine manual and automated techniques for cloud, external, internal and wireless testing. And because testing is on a recurring basis, you can avoid the extensive remediation efforts that typically occur with annual testing.

Automated vulnerability management

In addition to providing automated vulnerability scanning of applications, APIs and systems, we cohesively integrate the findings into a single pane of glass. That means consolidated vulnerability management, triage, remediation, and integration with your DevOps and ticketing platforms.

Ongoing, collaborative red and purple teaming

With our red team exercises, we simulate real-world attacks that could be carried out by malicious actors, thereby identifying weaknesses in your defenses. Our experts use techniques such as social engineering, phishing and penetration testing to infiltrate systems and access sensitive data—uncovering opportunities for improvement.
Meanwhile, our purple team exercises deliver all the benefits of red teaming — plus high collaboration between our testers and your security operations center (the blue team). Our goal is to identify and address weaknesses in your security infrastructure, while working together to strengthen your posture.
Static and dynamic code analyses

Available individually or by combining both analyses to reduce false positives. Frictionless integration with DevOps

Software composition analysis

Automated discovery of third party libraries usage. Continually flag new vulnerabilities in open source or third party libraries

Penetration testing

Test result is integrated with the other analyses, not a one-time exercise. Specialist review to produce actionable reports

Let our experienced analysts and tools do the work.

Our solution is powered by industry-leading tools and a team of analysts from around the world that your organization can leverage so you can feel confident in knowing that you are being assisted by a leading combination of tools and human experience.

We also offer a tiered approach to suit most scenarios, and a scalable service that will grow with your application portfolio. Whether you bring your own license (BYOL) or choose to use ours, you can benefit from our experience and in-depth, value-add analysis to take actionable steps to improve your AppSec program.

Bring your own license

In this model, clients use their existing licenses for scanning tools – there is no need to buy new ones. KPMG integrates with these tools and intake scans, analyze results, and track remediation. Most market-leading tools are accepted.

License inclusive

This model uses SAST, DSAT, and penetration testing (automated and manual) and makes it effortless for clients so they do not need to worry about acquiring or renewing licenses.
