Secure Code Review

Seal every vulnerability in your source code before it ever reaches production.

What It Is

A Secure Code Review is a systematic, manual and automated examination of your application’s source code to uncover security flaws in logic, architecture, data-handling and coding practices. Detecting these issues early prevents future breaches and improves overall software quality.

Why proactive review matters

  • Around 75 % of successful attacks exploit insecure applications or code - a direct result of functionality-first development that overlooks security.

  • Catching defects in the code phase is up to 6× cheaper than fixing them after release (Gartner SDLC studies).

  • Continuous review builds developer security awareness and accelerates compliance sign-offs.

Cloud Security

Our Proven 5-Step Secure-Code Review Methodology

  • Scoping & Goal-Setting

    define critical modules, compliance drivers and review depth.

  • Automated Static Analysis

    run industry-leading SAST/SCA tools to flag common errors and supply-chain risks (≈ 70 % of lines screened automatically).

  • Manual Deep Dive

    senior reviewers inspect high-risk areas line-by-line to catch business-logic, auth-flow and crypto flaws unreachable by tools.

  • Risk Analysis & Reporting

    prioritise findings, map to OWASP Top 10/SANS 25, and translate impact for both engineers and executives.

  • Remediation & Validation

    coach developers, supply patch snippets, then re-test to verify every fix closes the gap.

Testing Modes We Offer

  • Black-Box
        We test your systems from an outsider’s perspective with no prior knowledge of the internal workings just like a real-world attacker would. This helps uncover vulnerabilities in exposed assets without bias.

  • White-Box
        With full access to credentials, and architecture diagrams, we conduct an in-depth review to identify hidden flaws, logic issues, and configuration weaknesses that attackers could exploit.

  • Grey-Box
        A balanced approach where we have partial knowledge of the system simulating an insider threat or a skilled attacker with some access. This helps uncover issues that lie beneath the surface but aren’t visible to the public.

  • All testing adheres to NIST SP-800-115, PTES and CIS Benchmarks.

What We Review For

  • Injection & Deserialization flaws SQL/NoSQL, command, XML, object, etc.

  • Weak Authentication / Session Handling token theft, fixation, missing MFA.

  • Sensitive-Data Exposure hard-coded secrets, insecure storage or crypto.

  • Access-Control & Privilege Issues vertical/horizontal escalation paths.

  • Insecure API Calls & Error Handling verbose stack traces, mass assignment.

  • Logic & Workflow Bugs abuse of business rules, race conditions.

  • Static Code Hygiene deprecated functions, insecure libraries, style violations.

What You Receive

  • Executive Risk Report
        a concise, C-suite-ready snapshot.

  • Detailed Vulnerability Matrix
        CVSS scores, proof-of-concept traces & screenshots.

  • Remediation Playbook
       step-by-step fixes with secure-coding examples.

  • Complimentary Retest
       we confirm every patch at no extra cost.

Benefits for Your Business

  • Stop Breaches Early – eliminate exploitable code before it ships.

  • Demonstrate Compliance – ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, GDPR, RBI & SEBI evidence ready.

  • Cut Rework & Debug Costs with prioritised, developer-friendly guidance.

  • Boost Customer & Investor Trust through third-party validation.

  • Embed DevSecOps Culture – developers learn secure patterns on the job.

When should we run a Secure Code Review?

Near the end of each major development sprint/release, and after significant updates or refactors.

Will it slow down our release cycle?

No, our blended automated + manual approach integrates with CI/CD pipelines and targets only code deltas for rapid feedback.

How is this different from a vulnerability scan?

Scanners flag patterns; a code review traces exploit paths, validates business impact and digs into logic errors that tools miss.

Typical engagement length?

From 2–7 business days per 100 KLOC, depending on language mix and risk appetite.
