Secure Code Review Services in Pakistan
Manual and assisted source review aligned to SAST findings.
What it is
A reading of your source by people who exploit software for a living. Automated scanners flag patterns; we follow data from where it enters your system to where it is trusted, and judge whether the control in between actually holds. The output is a list of real weaknesses with the file and line that causes them.
Types of Secure Code Review we deliver
Full application code review
A complete read of the codebase for a product about to launch, or one that has never been reviewed.
Targeted review of critical paths
Authentication, authorisation, payment and data-export flows only. The right choice when budget is limited, because this is where the expensive bugs live.
Pre-release and change review
A specific release or pull request reviewed before it ships, which is far cheaper than finding the same issue in production six months later.
Cryptography and secrets review
How keys are generated, stored, rotated and used, and what is sitting in the repository history that should never have been committed.
Infrastructure-as-code review
Terraform, CloudFormation and Kubernetes manifests, where one permissive default is applied to every environment at once.
SAST tuning and triage
Your existing scanner, configured to produce findings your developers will act on instead of an output they have learned to ignore.
How we do it
-
1
Threat modelling the codebase
We identify trust boundaries, entry points and the assets worth protecting before reading a line.
-
2
Automated triage
SAST and dependency tooling run first, purely to prioritise where humans should look.
-
3
Manual data-flow tracing
We follow untrusted input from source to sink, judging each sanitiser and check on the way.
-
4
Authorization logic review
Where permission decisions are made, whether they are enforced consistently, and which paths skip them.
-
5
Secrets and configuration
Credentials in history, weak cryptographic choices, unsafe defaults and dangerous framework settings.
-
6
Developer walkthrough
We sit with your engineers and explain each finding in the code they own.
What's included
- Human review, not a scanner report
- Findings cited to file and line
- False positives removed before you see them
- Dependency and supply-chain review
- Git history scanned for committed secrets
- Live walkthrough with your developers
Who needs it
- Teams with a security-critical component worth deep review
- Products approaching an audit or enterprise security questionnaire
- Engineering leaders who want findings their developers can act on directly
Deliverables
- Findings referenced to file, line and commit
- Suggested patch or safe pattern for each issue
- Dependency risk summary
- Recorded developer walkthrough session
What Secure Code Review costs
Priced on reviewable lines of code and the number of languages involved.
The figure depends on scope, so we quote one fixed price in writing before any work begins. These are the things that move it:
- How much of the codebase is in scope — A targeted review of authentication, authorisation, payment and file handling costs a fraction of a full-repository pass and finds most of what a full pass would.
- How many languages and frameworks — Each stack has its own injection and deserialisation patterns. Three languages is three sets of rules to apply, not one.
- Whether the history is in scope — Secrets committed and later removed are still in the git history and still valid. Scanning history is a separate, worthwhile piece of work.
- The volume of third-party dependency code — Reviewing your code is bounded. Judging a dependency tree is open-ended, so it is scoped explicitly rather than assumed in.
- Whether fixes are reviewed afterwards — Verifying remediation in code is a second pass and is quoted as one.
Point us at the twenty files that handle authentication, authorisation and money. That is where the exploitable defects are, and it is the cheapest review you can commission.
Where we deliver Secure Code Review
Code review is delivered remotely for clients across Pakistan and overseas. Source stays in your repository under read-only access wherever possible, so the work does not depend on where either party sits — and for teams that cannot grant external repository access, we work on site from Multan.

Frequently asked questions
No. Most reviews target the security-critical parts — authentication, authorization, payment, and anything handling untrusted input. We agree the scope with you first.
A scanner reports patterns and cannot tell whether a given path is reachable or whether the check above it is sufficient. We do that judgement, and we remove the false positives before reporting.
Commonly PHP, Python, JavaScript and TypeScript, Java, C# and Go. Tell us your stack before scoping and we will say plainly whether we are the right reviewers for it.
No. Many clients grant read-only repository access for the engagement, and a targeted review of the authentication, authorisation and payment paths needs only those modules. We sign an NDA before scoping, and source is deleted after delivery on request.
PHP, Python, JavaScript and TypeScript, Java, C#, Go and the common frameworks around them — Laravel, Django, Node and Express, Spring, .NET. If your stack is outside that list, tell us before scoping and we will say honestly whether we are the right reviewers for it.
A penetration test first if you have never had either, because it tells you what is exploitable today. Code review goes deeper and finds the issues a test cannot reach — flaws in paths that are hard to trigger from outside, and the same mistake repeated across the codebase rather than the one instance a tester happened to find.
Each finding with the file and line that causes it, why it matters, and a fix written against your actual code rather than a generic advisory. Where the same mistake appears in many places, we say so and describe the pattern, because fixing twelve instances one at a time is how the thirteenth survives.
Yes, and it is considerably cheaper for you. Reviewing a release or a significant pull request before it merges costs a fraction of finding the same issue in production, and your developers learn the pattern while the code is still fresh in their heads.
Yes. Findings handed over as a document and nothing else get misread and half-fixed. Our reviewers are available to your engineers while they fix, and we re-verify the fixes rather than taking the commit message as evidence.
Priced on reviewable lines of code and the number of languages involved. Beyond that the figure depends on scope — mainly how much of the codebase is in scope, how many languages and frameworks and whether the history is in scope. We quote one fixed price in writing before any work begins, so the number does not move once the engagement starts. Point us at the twenty files that handle authentication, authorisation and money. That is where the exploitable defects are, and it is the cheapest review you can commission.
