Code and architecture review

Secure Source Review

Review of your code and architecture for the weaknesses an attacker would look for first.

What it is

A manual review of application source, build and deployment configuration, and the architecture around them — not a scanner report.

How it runs

We read the code the way an attacker would: authentication and session handling, authorisation boundaries, input handling, secrets management, dependency and supply-chain risk, and the trust assumptions between components.

What you get

Findings tied to specific files and lines, a severity that reflects exploitability in your deployment rather than a generic score, and remediation guidance your developers can act on.

Everything runs under written authorisation. Scope, targets, stop conditions and the rules of engagement are agreed and signed before any testing begins. Read the authorization policy.

EngagementTypical duration
Focused assessment1–2 weeks
Full-scope engagement3–6 weeks
Continuous testingOngoing, quarterly cycles
Retest after remediation1 week
