Expert analysis of your application source code to identify security vulnerabilities, coding flaws, and implementation errors before they can be exploited in production environments.
Security vulnerabilities in application code can lead to serious breaches, data loss, and system compromise. Our Security Code Review service identifies these issues at their source—in the actual code—before they can be exploited in production environments.
Our expert security engineers combine automated tools with manual analysis to thoroughly examine your source code for security flaws, implementation errors, and deviations from secure coding best practices. We don't just find vulnerabilities; we provide detailed remediation guidance and work with your development team to implement secure coding practices.
Whether you're developing a new application, maintaining legacy code, or preparing for a security compliance audit, our code review services help ensure that security is built into your software from the ground up.
Discover how our code review services can strengthen your application security posture.
Identify security issues during development when they are easier and less expensive to fix, rather than after deployment when remediation costs can be 30x higher.
Meet regulatory and industry standards such as PCI DSS, NIST SP 800-82, SOC 2 that require regular security code reviews as part of secure development practices.
Improve your development team's security awareness and skills through detailed explanations of vulnerabilities and secure coding best practices.
Avoid costly security-related delays in your release cycle by addressing vulnerabilities early in the development process rather than during pre-release testing.
Identify vulnerabilities that automated scanning tools alone might miss, including logical flaws, authorization issues, and business logic vulnerabilities.
Demonstrate due diligence to customers, partners, and stakeholders by having your code independently reviewed by security experts.
Comprehensive security analysis tailored to your specific needs and development environment.
Automated analysis of source code to identify security vulnerabilities, coding errors, and compliance issues without executing the application.
Expert security engineers manually examine your code to identify complex vulnerabilities, logical flaws, and security issues that automated tools might miss.
Combines automated SAST tools with manual expert review for the most comprehensive and efficient security analysis of your application code.
A systematic approach to identifying and addressing security vulnerabilities in your code.
We begin by understanding your application architecture, technology stack, and security requirements. This includes identifying critical components, high-risk areas, and specific security concerns to focus our review efforts effectively.
We deploy advanced static analysis tools customized for your specific programming languages and frameworks to identify common security vulnerabilities, coding errors, and compliance issues across your entire codebase.
Our security engineers manually examine critical components and high-risk areas of your code, focusing on complex vulnerabilities, logical flaws, and security issues that automated tools might miss, such as authentication mechanisms, authorization controls, and cryptographic implementations.
We validate identified vulnerabilities to eliminate false positives and determine their real-world exploitability and potential impact, providing you with accurate and actionable findings.
We deliver comprehensive reports that include detailed vulnerability descriptions, risk ratings, affected code locations, exploitation scenarios, and specific remediation guidance tailored to your development environment.
We work with your development team to address identified vulnerabilities, providing technical guidance, code examples, and best practices to implement effective security fixes while maintaining application functionality.

Real-world security issues our code reviews frequently uncover.
// Vulnerable code function getUserData(userId) { const query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = '" + userId + "'"; return db.execute(query); } // Secure code function getUserData(userId) { const query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?"; return db.execute(query, [userId]); }
SQL injection vulnerabilities occur when user input is directly incorporated into SQL queries without proper sanitization. This can allow attackers to manipulate queries and access, modify, or delete data they shouldn't have access to.
// Vulnerable code function displayUserComment(comment) { document.getElementById('comments').innerHTML += comment; } // Secure code function displayUserComment(comment) { const text = document.createTextNode(comment); const div = document.createElement('div'); div.appendChild(text); document.getElementById('comments').appendChild(div); }
Cross-Site Scripting vulnerabilities allow attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by other users. These scripts can steal sensitive information, hijack user sessions, or perform actions on behalf of the victim.
// Vulnerable code function loadUserPreferences(serializedData) { const userPrefs = JSON.parse(serializedData); return userPrefs; } // Secure code function loadUserPreferences(serializedData) { try { const userPrefs = JSON.parse(serializedData); return validateUserPrefs(userPrefs); } catch (e) { return defaultPrefs; } }
Insecure deserialization vulnerabilities occur when applications deserialize data from untrusted sources without proper validation. This can lead to remote code execution, denial of service attacks, or authentication bypasses.
// Vulnerable code function getUserDocument(docId) { return db.getDocument(docId); } // Secure code function getUserDocument(docId, userId) { const doc = db.getDocument(docId); if (doc.ownerId !== userId && !isAdmin(userId)) { throw new AccessDeniedError(); } return doc; }
Broken access control vulnerabilities occur when applications fail to properly enforce restrictions on what authenticated users can do. This can allow attackers to access unauthorized functionality or data, such as viewing other users' records or performing privileged actions.
See how our security code review services have made a real difference.
A leading financial technology company was preparing to launch a new API platform that would allow third-party developers to integrate with their payment processing services. Given the sensitive nature of financial data and the potential impact of security breaches, they engaged our team to conduct a comprehensive security code review before the platform's public release.
Our team worked closely with the client's development team to address these vulnerabilities before the platform's launch. We provided detailed remediation guidance, code examples, and conducted follow-up reviews to verify that the fixes were implemented correctly.
The client was able to launch their API platform on schedule with confidence in its security. The early detection of these vulnerabilities saved the company from potential data breaches, financial losses, and reputational damage that could have resulted if these issues had been discovered after deployment.
Common questions about our security code review services.
While regular code reviews typically focus on code quality, maintainability, and functionality, security code reviews specifically target security vulnerabilities and weaknesses in the code. The key differences include:
Both types of reviews are valuable and complementary. While regular code reviews improve overall code quality, security code reviews provide the specialized focus needed to identify and address security-specific concerns.
Security code reviews are valuable at multiple stages of the development lifecycle, but the optimal timing depends on your specific needs and development process:
The most effective approach is to incorporate security code reviews throughout your development lifecycle rather than treating them as a one-time event. This "shift-left" approach to security helps build security into your code from the beginning rather than trying to add it later.
We understand that your source code is valuable intellectual property and may contain sensitive information. We take several measures to protect your code during the review process:
We're also open to discussing any additional security requirements or concerns you may have regarding your proprietary code.
The duration of a security code review depends on several factors:
As a general guideline:
We'll provide a more accurate timeline after the initial scoping discussion based on your specific requirements and constraints.
Our security code review services stand out in several key ways:
Our goal is not just to find vulnerabilities but to help you build more secure applications and improve your overall security posture.
