Secure Code Review

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.

How we do it

  1. 1

    Threat modelling the codebase

    We identify trust boundaries, entry points and the assets worth protecting before reading a line.

  2. 2

    Automated triage

    SAST and dependency tooling run first, purely to prioritise where humans should look.

  3. 3

    Manual data-flow tracing

    We follow untrusted input from source to sink, judging each sanitiser and check on the way.

  4. 4

    Authorization logic review

    Where permission decisions are made, whether they are enforced consistently, and which paths skip them.

  5. 5

    Secrets and configuration

    Credentials in history, weak cryptographic choices, unsafe defaults and dangerous framework settings.

  6. 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

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.
