Secure Code Review

Some security problems are only visible in the code: an authorisation check that is missing on one route out of forty, a secret committed three years ago, a library that has not been updated since it was added.

We read the code that matters, use automated tools to widen coverage, and then validate what those tools report, so you get findings that are real and prioritised rather than a long export.

What we review

  • Dangerous implementation patterns
  • Authentication and authorisation logic
  • Security-sensitive functions
  • Input handling and output encoding
  • Secrets management
  • Insecure and outdated dependencies
  • SAST findings
  • SCA findings
  • Validation and prioritisation of existing tool findings

What you receive

  • Findings grouped by severity
  • References to the affected code
  • An explanation of the business and technical risk of each finding
  • Recommended fixes
  • An optional walkthrough with your developers

Scope and limitations

  • Automated scanning on its own is not a secure code review. Tool output is used to guide and widen manual review, and is validated before it reaches the report.
  • Large codebases are reviewed by agreed priority, such as authentication, payments or data access, rather than line by line.

Common questions

Which languages do you review?

Tell us your languages and frameworks when you get in touch. We will be straight with you about whether we are the right fit before any work is agreed.

Do you keep a copy of our code?

Access is agreed per engagement and removed at the end. Working material is deleted once the engagement closes, and only the final report is retained.

We already run a SAST tool. Is this still useful?

Usually. Tools miss logic and authorisation flaws, and produce findings that need triage. Part of this service can be validating and prioritising what your tools already report.
