Cybersecurity
Source code review
We find the flaw before it reaches production.
What this work consists of
We look at the security of the software itself: the code at rest, the application at runtime, or both sides together. This is where you catch what no network scan can reach, and fixing it at this point costs a fraction of what it costs after the flaw is exposed in production.
Static analysis reads the source code and points to the exact spot to fix: input handling, misuse of cryptography, credentials written into the code itself. Dynamic analysis attacks the exposed interfaces from the outside in, without needing the source, and finds what only shows up with the application running. Together, they cover both origin and exposure, and confirm what is actually exploitable.
For static analysis, we need access to the repository; for dynamic, the application's address and an environment where we can test it. You receive a report per application, with the exact spot and how to fix it, plus the prioritized remediation plan. Full coverage of both sides also includes the executive report, written for decision makers.
How we conduct it, stage by stage
The stages and deliverables below describe the Static (SAST): we analyse the source code modality. The other modalities appear when you request the proposal.
Planning and authorisation
We agree the scope in writing and set the windows, the emergency contacts and the formal authorisations. No test starts without that.
Execution
We run the test cycle within the authorized window and scope, starting with what usually breaks first. Every finding is recorded with the evidence and the step-by-step needed to reproduce it later.
Report
We consolidate the findings into a report where every item comes with severity, evidence and the path to fix it. We write to be read by the people who will act, not to fatten pages.
What is not included
- Fixing the code, which stays with the development team
- Quality or performance review: the focus here is security
- Source code analysis in the dynamic option, which works only through what the application exposes externally
- Auditing third-party libraries themselves: we look up to the point where your code uses them
- Deploying tools into your pipeline, which is the DevSecOps service
- Retesting after the development team's fixes, which comes in as a new round
- Testing the infrastructure or network around the application, which is pentest or vulnerability assessment work
Usually comes together with
Not a bundle, and it changes nothing you have already chosen. It is what tends to come up next, in the experience of companies that have been through this.
