SCA helps you understand which attacks your security controls can currently prevent, identifies missing protections and detection gaps, and highlights broken mitigations and uncovered corner cases.
This evaluation ensures that when incident response is needed, you know exactly what arsenal you have, what additional defenses can be deployed, and which weaknesses must be avoided.
Services and use cases

Security Evaluations Services
Measuring security is vital for the security value zone

Web Application Threats:
- Common Attack Vectors (CAV)
- Automated Traffic Threats (ATT)
- Bots and Botnets
- Attack Modus Operandi (AMO)
Security Control Assessment (SCA)
SCA - Products and Services
Risk Mitigation Score (RMS) determines your “Security Value Zone,” where negative values indicate poor security practices, while positive values reflect investments in effort, tools, and effective incident response.
Assessment of Enforcement Levels
Assessment measure the current “Enforcement” level, predicting how effectively you can prevent the next attack when incident response is triggered.
Assessment of Security Exposure
Assessment also measure “Security Exposure,” highlighting reductions in protection levels and identifying limitations critical to effective incident response.

Key Value Points
WAF Assessment Types
Security Controls Assessment (SCA)
Purpose: Evaluate WAF’s ability to detect and mitigate known attack techniques.
Tests Include:
-
Signature effectiveness (XSS, SQLi, RCE, etc.)
-
Custom payload detection
-
Evasion technique handling
-
Entity-level protection (parameters, headers)
-
Policy tuning gaps
Outcome: Risk Mitigation Score (RMS) for control coverage.
Bot Protection Assessment
Purpose: Evaluate how WAF handles automated threats.
Tests Include:
-
OWASP Automated Threats (carding, scraping, credential stuffing)
-
Bot client simulation (headless browsers, replay tools)
-
CAPTCHA and JS challenge handling
Outcome: Bot defense score and bypass feasibility.
Policy Configuration Analysis
Purpose: Validate WAF policy logic and alignment to application behavior.
Tests Include:
-
Policy enforcement review
-
Positive security model checks
-
Custom rules review (regex, IP, Geo)
Outcome: Policy quality score and hardening recommendations.
Custom Use Case Simulation
Purpose: Validate WAF in real-world incident scenarios.
Tests Include:
-
Simulated red team campaigns
-
Attack chain testing (multi-step exploit)
-
Application-specific threat modeling
Outcome: Application-aware mitigation score.
WAF SCA
Web App – Common Attack Vector (WA-CAV )
Testing for common attack vectors detection is the minimum WAF requirements that should reflect your WAF security value on any web application.
- Web Exploits
- App Brute Force
- App DoS/DDoS
Web App – Automated Traffic Threats (ATT)
Bots activity are still a major concern to web application owners
- Readers & Submitter
- Tweaker & Diverter
- Device & Client types
Any Location
Each location provides the value and together they form layer 7 protection strategy
