Secure Your Review
Expert source code security review combining automated static analysis with deep manual review. We find vulnerabilities at the code level — from injection flaws and authentication bypasses to complex business logic bugs that only human experts can identify.
Source Code Review?
Source Code Review is the process of systematically examining application source code to identify security vulnerabilities, coding errors, and insecure patterns before they reach production. Unlike runtime testing, code review catches vulnerabilities at the earliest stage of development.
Our approach combines automated static application security testing (SAST) with expert manual review. While automated tools excel at finding common patterns like SQL injection and XSS, our security engineers identify complex business logic flaws, authentication bypasses, race conditions, and cryptographic weaknesses that require human expertise.
Our Process
A structured, comprehensive approach tailored to your specific needs and requirements.
Code Baseline & Scoping
Repository Assessment
Reviewing code structure, dependencies, build systems, and identifying high-risk areas based on functionality and data sensitivity.
Threat-Based Prioritization
Focusing review effort on authentication, authorization, data handling, cryptography, and other security-critical code paths.
Dependency Analysis
Scanning third-party libraries and dependencies for known vulnerabilities and license compliance issues.
Automated Static Analysis
SAST Tool Scanning
Running industry-leading static analysis tools configured for your language and framework to identify common vulnerability patterns.
Custom Rule Development
Creating custom detection rules for your application's specific patterns, frameworks, and internal APIs.
False Positive Triage
Expert review of automated findings to eliminate false positives and prioritize genuine security issues.
Manual Expert Review
Authentication & Authorization
Detailed review of login flows, session management, access control logic, and privilege management code.
Business Logic Analysis
Manual inspection of critical business workflows, payment processing, data validation, and application-specific logic.
Cryptographic Review
Evaluating encryption implementations, key management, random number generation, and secure communication protocols.
