Security Code Review
Scanners find the obvious. The bugs that cause real breaches — broken auth logic, unsafe trust boundaries, subtle injection — live in the code's intent, where only a human reading it will catch them. That's what a security code review is for.
What it is
A security code review is a manual, expert reading of your source with an attacker's mindset. We follow the data — where it enters, how it's trusted, where it crosses a boundary — and find the flaws that automated tools structurally can't reason about.
Static scanners are useful and we use them, but they stop at patterns. They don't understand that this endpoint should never be reachable by that role, or that this token is trusted one layer too early. Logic flaws like those are where real compromises come from.
You get more than a list of line numbers. Each finding comes with the exploit scenario, a severity grounded in real impact, and a concrete fix written for the developers who have to implement it — reviewed against your stack, not a generic checklist.
What you get
A senior read of your code that finds logic flaws — with fixes your developers can apply.
- Manual, senior-led reviewExperienced practitioners reading the code, not just a scan.
- Logic & trust-boundary flawsThe auth, access, and injection bugs scanners miss.
- Exploit scenariosEach finding framed by how it would actually be abused.
- Impact-based severityPrioritised by real business risk, not raw scanner scores.
- Developer-ready fixesSpecific remediation written for the team that owns the code.
- Fix verificationWe re-review to confirm the gaps are genuinely closed.
