Secure Code Review
Find security flaws before they reach production
Secure Code Review
A secure code review reads your source code for weaknesses that testing from the outside can miss: unsafe database queries, missing permission checks, passwords and keys left in the code, and outdated libraries. We combine automated scanning with SonarQube and Snyk with a manual read of the parts that handle sign-in, payments and personal data. Your developers get specific findings with file and line references and a suggested fix for each.
What We Deliver
What's included in Secure Code Review.
Automated scanning
SonarQube for code-level issues and Snyk for vulnerable dependencies, run across the whole codebase.
Manual review
A careful read of sign-in, permission, payment and data handling code, where automated tools miss the most.
Secrets in the code
API keys, passwords and tokens committed to the repository, including its history.
Dependency review
Outdated or vulnerable packages, with the safe version to move to.
Dynamic checks
Running the application to confirm whether issues found in the code can actually occur.
Pipeline integration
Scanning added to your build pipeline, so new issues are caught in each pull request.
Our Process
How the work runs, step by step.
Scope and access
We agree which repositories and modules to review. We ask for read-only access where possible, and we can sign an NDA before we start.
Automated scan
We run the scanners and remove false positives, so you only see real findings.
Manual review
We read the high-risk parts of the code and trace how user input moves through them.
Report and walkthrough
Findings are ranked by risk, with file references and fixes, and explained to your developers on a call.
Fix verification
After your team makes changes, we review the fixes and scan again.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Secure Code Review.
The languages our team builds in, including PHP, JavaScript and TypeScript. Ask us about others.
We can sign an NDA before we start, we ask for read-only access where possible, and we agree with you how the code is handled and when our copies are deleted.
A penetration test checks the running application from the outside. A code review reads the source directly, so it finds issues that are hard to reach from outside. The two work well together.
Yes. We can add SonarQube or Snyk checks to GitHub Actions, GitLab CI or your existing pipeline, so new code is checked before it is merged.
