Security Review

Vulnerabilities baked into code don't get caught by firewalls or WAFs, they ship straight to production. We do deep manual code review alongside static analysis to find the injection flaws, auth bugs, and logic errors that scanners consistently miss.

Why Source Code Review Matters

Source code vulnerabilities are the root cause of most security breaches. While penetration testing identifies vulnerabilities in running applications, source code review catches security flaws during development, when they're easiest and cheapest to fix. A single overlooked SQL injection, authentication bypass, or hardcoded credential can expose your entire organisation to catastrophic risks.

Modern codebases pull in hundreds of dependencies, move fast through CI/CD, and ship daily. Developers aren't writing insecure code on purpose, they just don't have time to think through every security implication. That's where a focused security review catches what normal development processes miss.

If you're going through SOC 2, PCI DSS, or ISO 27001 compliance, or if you're preparing for an acquisition or investor due diligence, a code review gives you documented evidence that your codebase has been examined by an independent security team. That carries weight that automated scan reports alone don't.

Our Review Methodology

We don't just point a SAST tool at your repo and hand you the output. Our consultants read your code, understand how your application works, and focus on the paths where real vulnerabilities live: authentication flows, payment logic, data handling, API boundaries, and anywhere user input touches a database or command.

Manual Security Code Review

We manually trace data flow through your critical code paths: authentication, authorisation, payment processing, data handling, and any custom business logic. This is where we find the vulnerabilities that SAST tools structurally cannot detect, like flawed state machines, race conditions, and authorisation logic that works for the happy path but breaks under edge cases.

Authentication and session management analysis
Authorisation and access control logic
Business logic and workflow vulnerabilities

Static Analysis (SAST)

We run automated static analysis across your entire codebase using tools like Semgrep, CodeQL, and commercial SAST platforms to catch known vulnerability patterns at scale. We also write custom rules tuned to your tech stack and application patterns, because off-the-shelf rulesets miss context-specific issues.

Injection vulnerabilities (SQL, command, LDAP)
Cross-site scripting (XSS) patterns
Insecure cryptographic implementations

Dependency Analysis

Your application code might be solid, but if it pulls in a compromised or outdated dependency, none of that matters. We analyse your dependency tree for known CVEs, abandoned packages, malicious published versions, and transitive dependencies that introduce risk several layers deep.

Vulnerable library detection
Outdated dependency identification
Supply chain risk assessment

Fix Vulnerabilities Early

Fixing a vulnerability in production costs significantly more than catching it during development. There's the incident response, the emergency patch, the customer notification, the compliance reporting. Code review shifts that discovery left, finding the problem when it's still just a code change instead of a security incident.

A pentest tells you your app is vulnerable. A code review tells your developers exactly why and exactly how to fix it.
