Application security · Inside the lifecycle
Security that lives with your engineers, not beside them.
Secure code review, threat modelling before a feature is written, and working sessions on your own code. The goal is that your team catches the next one without us.
Recon · Why it matters
Finding the same bug every year is not a security programme.
If each test surfaces the same class of issue, the problem is upstream of the test. We work with the teams building your products: reviewing the code paths where risk concentrates, modelling how a feature can be abused before it exists, and leaving your engineers able to spot the pattern themselves.
Coverage · What we test
What is in scope.
01
Secure code review
Manual review of the paths that matter: authentication, authorisation, data handling, and anything touching money or personal data.
02
Threat modelling
Before the code exists. We map trust boundaries and the ways a feature can be abused, then agree controls that actually mitigate it.
03
Design and architecture review
Multi-tenancy, session handling, secrets management, and the assumptions a service makes about its callers.
04
Developer enablement
Working sessions with your engineers on the issues we found in your code, not generic training slides.
Execution · How we work
How the engagement runs.
Step 01
We learn the product
Architecture, data flows, and where your team already suspects the weak points. Their instinct is usually right.
Step 02
We review where risk concentrates
Depth over coverage. A thorough review of your authorisation layer beats a shallow pass over everything.
Step 03
We fix alongside your team
Findings land in your tracker with the affected code path and a concrete fix, and we review the patch before it ships.
Step 04
We leave the pattern behind
Your engineers should catch the next instance without us. That is the measure of the engagement.
Debrief · What you get
What lands on your desk.
Every engagement ends with something your engineers can act on and your auditors can accept.
- Findings in your tracker with the affected code path and a concrete fix, not a generic recommendation
- Threat model your team can keep updating as the product changes
- Fix review we check the patch before it ships
- Working sessions with your engineers, on your own code
Questions · Straight answers
Common questions.
Do you need access to our source code?
For code review, yes, under NDA and on your terms. Where code cannot leave your environment, we work inside it.
How is this different from a penetration test?
A pentest attacks the finished system from outside. Application security work happens earlier, inside the lifecycle, so fewer issues reach the finished system at all.
