Source Code Review

We find vulnerabilities in your code before they reach production, in any language.

Automation: Automated analysis scans your entire codebase and its open-source dependencies for insecure patterns and known CVEs.
Human validation: Our reviewers manually validate critical logic (authentication, authorization and data handling) and discard false positives.

The challenge

The most expensive vulnerabilities are born in the code

Fixing a security flaw once the application is in production costs far more than fixing it during development. And some vulnerabilities —authorization errors, poorly implemented cryptography or flawed business logic— are hard to see from the outside.

Static analysis tools help, but they generate a lot of noise and do not understand your business context. That is why we combine automated analysis with expert manual review, focused on the parts of the code where a mistake has the greatest impact.

You get every finding with its exact location and a proposed fix your developers can apply right away.

What we assess

Your code, your dependencies and the way you build software

We review anything from specific critical features to entire applications, before a release or as part of your development lifecycle.

Manual code review

Authentication, authorization, session handling, input validation, cryptography and business logic, reviewed line by line in critical areas.

Static analysis (SAST)

Automated scanning of the entire codebase, with manual validation of every finding to remove false positives.

Third-party dependencies

Libraries and components with known vulnerabilities or no maintenance, and the real risk they pose in your application.

Exposed secrets

Passwords, API keys and certificates written in the code or in your repositories’ history.

CI/CD pipeline

Security controls in your build and deployment chain: permissions, artifact integrity and secrets management.

Secure development training

Hands-on sessions with your developers based on findings from your own code.

How we work

From business context to the line of code

Context and threat modeling

We understand the application, its data and its users to identify which parts of the code deserve the most attention.

Automated analysis

We run static and dependency analysis across the entire codebase to get a first broad view.

Focused manual review

Our consultants review critical features and relevant automated findings in depth.

Exploitability validation

We confirm which findings are exploitable in practice and what their impact would be.

Actionable report

Every finding with file, line, risk explanation and a fix example.

Fix verification

We review your developers’ changes to confirm the vulnerabilities were resolved.

Frequently asked questions

What clients usually ask before we start

Do you need access to our source code?

Yes. We work under a non-disclosure agreement, and the contract defines how the code is accessed, where it is analyzed and how it is deleted when the project ends.

Which languages do you review?

All kinds of languages and frameworks: from Java, .NET, Python, PHP and JavaScript/TypeScript to Go, Kotlin, Swift, C/C++ and smart contract languages. If your technology is less common, we review it too; we confirm it when defining the scope.

Does code review replace a penetration test?

No, they complement each other. Code review finds flaws from the inside, even in features that are hard to reach; a penetration test confirms how they look and can be exploited from the outside.

Can you fit into our development lifecycle?

Yes. We can review features before each major release and help you add automated controls to your CI/CD pipeline.

How long does it take?

It depends on the size of the codebase and the scope. After an initial look at the repository, we send you a proposal with a timeline.
