Secure Code Review Services
Line-by-line security analysis with dependency scanning and OWASP compliance. Catch vulnerabilities in your code before they reach production.
What Is a Secure Code Review?
A secure code review is a focused application security review of your source code, where our offensive engineers read the code the way an attacker would. Combining manual review with SAST tooling, our secure code review services trace untrusted input through your application to uncover injection, authentication, and logic flaws before they ship.
A pure SAST scan is fast but noisy, and it cannot understand your business logic. A proper code audit pairs those automated findings with expert source code security analysis, so we validate real impact, rule out false positives, and surface the access-control and workflow flaws that automated scanners consistently miss.
Unlike a penetration test, which attacks a running system from the outside, a secure code review works from the inside with full source visibility. That means we can reason about every code path, not just the ones reachable during a time-boxed test, and hand your engineers a clear, exploitability-ranked report they can act on immediately.

Secure Code Review FAQ
Common questions about our secure code review services.
What is a secure code review?
A secure code review is a targeted security assessment of your source code. Our offensive engineers read the code by hand, backed by SAST tooling, to find injection, authentication, access-control, cryptography, and business logic flaws before they reach production, and rank every finding by real exploitability.
How is a code review different from a SAST scan?
A SAST scan is automated and produces a list of potential issues, often with high false-positive rates and no understanding of your business logic. A secure code review uses SAST as a starting point, then applies expert manual analysis to validate real impact, trace untrusted input end to end, and catch the logic and access-control flaws automated scanners miss.
What languages and frameworks do you review?
We review the major web and backend stacks, including JavaScript and TypeScript, Python, Java, Go, C#/.NET, PHP, Ruby, and their common frameworks, as well as infrastructure-as-code and configuration. Tell us your stack during scoping and we align reviewers with the right language expertise.
How is a code review different from a penetration test?
A penetration test attacks a running application from the outside with limited or no source access. A secure code review works from the inside with full source visibility, so we can reason about every path, not just the ones reachable during a time-boxed test. The two are complementary, and many teams pair a code audit with a penetration test for full coverage.
What does the report include?
You get a detailed report with each finding classified by severity, the vulnerable code location, a clear explanation of impact and exploitability, and concrete remediation guidance your engineers can act on. We also provide a summary suitable for leadership, auditors, and customers.
How much does a secure code review cost?
A focused single-component review starts around $5,000, a comprehensive full-application review runs $15,000 to $35,000, and a multi-application enterprise code audit with CI/CD integration reaches $75,000. Final pricing depends on codebase size, language, and review depth.
