Secure
Code Review

Manual and tooling-assisted review of your application source code to find security vulnerabilities at the code level — before they ever reach production — combining SAST with expert manual analysis.

Overview

Catch it at the source.

The cheapest vulnerability to fix is the one caught before release. A secure code review examines your source directly to find flaws that black-box testing can miss — logic errors, unsafe patterns, and subtle authorisation mistakes.

We combine automated static analysis (SAST) with expert manual review to eliminate false positives and surface the issues scanners never find, mapped to OWASP and the CWE Top 25 with concrete remediation for your developers.

FAQ

Secure code review FAQ

The questions we're asked most about scope, cost, and timing.

How much does a secure code review cost?
A secure code review typically starts around €3,000 and is scoped by language, repository size, and lines of code. Use our estimator for a tailored figure.
Which languages and frameworks do you review?
All major languages and frameworks — including JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, Java, C#, Go, PHP, Ruby, and mobile codebases.
How is code review different from penetration testing?
Penetration testing attacks the running application from outside; code review examines the source from inside, finding logic and design flaws scanners and black-box tests miss. The two are complementary.
Do you use automated tools or manual review?
Both — static analysis for breadth, then expert manual review to remove false positives and find what tooling cannot.
Can you integrate with our CI/CD pipeline?
Yes — we can advise on and help integrate SAST, dependency scanning, and secure-by-default patterns into your workflow.
How do you access our code?
Via read-only access to your repository, or a snapshot supplied under NDA. We never retain code beyond the engagement without agreement.
Do you review the whole codebase or key areas?
We risk-prioritise — focusing on authentication, authorisation, input handling, and crypto — while running broad static analysis across the rest.
Will you help our developers fix issues?
Yes — findings come with concrete, code-level remediation guidance, and we can walk your team through fixes.
Do you review dependencies too?
Yes — software-composition analysis of third-party libraries and known-vulnerable dependencies is included.
Can you integrate review into our pipeline?
Yes — we can help set up SAST and dependency scanning in CI/CD so review becomes continuous, not one-off.

A 30-minute scoping call costs nothing. A production bug costs considerably more.
