Overview
Some vulnerabilities are far easier to find in code than from the outside: subtle authorization checks, insecure cryptography, unsafe deserialization, hidden debug functionality or hard-coded secrets. A source code security review examines how your application really works.
We combine static application security testing (SAST) with focused manual review of the code that matters most — authentication, authorization, payment and data-handling logic, input processing and integrations. Tool findings are triaged by experts so your developers see real issues, not thousands of warnings.
Code review pairs especially well with a web or API penetration test (white-box testing), giving the highest assurance for critical applications.

Frequently asked questions
Which languages do you review?
Common languages including Java, C#, JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, PHP, Go, Kotlin and Swift. Confirm specific frameworks during scoping.
Do you need access to our full repository?
We need the code in scope and enough context to build or understand it. Access can be provided through a secure, time-limited method.
Is our code kept confidential?
Yes. Code is handled under NDA, stored encrypted and securely deleted after the engagement.
