Invicti in UAE

Use different testing methods for different evidence

Invicti’s catalogue separates DAST, SAST and SCA. DAST evaluates a running application within its authorised access and paths. SAST evaluates supported source or build representations. SCA concerns third-party components and their context. These methods complement one another, but a result from one should not be presented as evidence that the others are unnecessary.

Begin with application ownership, languages, authentication and dependencies. A public-page scan may miss authenticated workflows. Static coverage depends on supported technologies and configuration. A dependency finding needs version and applicability review. The objective is a remediable, attributable result rather than the largest possible count of alerts.

Pilot detection, developer review and retest

Select one representative application and agree written scope. Confirm credentials, safe test windows, exclusions and data handling for dynamic testing. For source and component assessment, use narrowly approved repository or artefact access. Trace a known issue into the team’s backlog and verify a correction through the appropriate retest.

Production activity needs stop conditions and the approval of relevant application owners; linked third-party systems do not automatically become authorised targets. UAE customers should confirm processing and access requirements before code or application data is shared. Handover should retain the coverage matrix, triage rules, exceptions and release decisions. This makes the testing programme usable as applications change instead of leaving an unattended scanner with unexplained gaps.

Evidence to request for this scope

• Confirm supported languages, ecosystems, authentication and API coverage.
• Approve target boundaries and operational limits before assessment.
• Demonstrate owner assignment, remediation and retest for representative findings.
