Security in the codebase
Assess source code, dependencies, infrastructure definitions and exposed secrets.
APPLICATION SECURITY
Weaknesses hide in code. We look deeper.
Evaluate source code, dependencies and running applications so teams can fix meaningful security weaknesses before they become business problems.

POTENTIAL CAPABILITIES
What the right scope can include.
Not every client needs every module. The work begins with your environment and the terms available for the selected service.
01
Static application security testing
Review source code and selected execution paths for vulnerabilities before software runs in production.
02
Software composition analysis
Inspect application dependencies for known issues while considering reachability and practical exposure.
03
Secrets and configuration scanning
Find selected exposed credentials, keys and configuration risks in repositories and development artifacts.
04
Infrastructure-as-code checks
Review eligible infrastructure configuration files for insecure cloud and deployment settings.
05
Container and image scanning
Assess supported container artifacts for relevant package and configuration risk where included in the deployment.
06
Pull request and CI/CD integration
Surface findings during the developer workflow and record remediation as code changes are made.
07
Dynamic application testing
Scan authorized running web apps and APIs to identify weaknesses observable only in deployed behavior.
08
Developer remediation guidance
Provide prioritized context and supported fix recommendations, then re-evaluate affected code or application paths.
WHAT SERIOUS SECURITY LOOKS LIKE
Find weaknesses while they can be fixed.
Developers get useful findings with context instead of a wall of unexplained alerts.
SECURITY IN FOCUS
A weakness enters the build
An unsafe dependency, leaked secret or vulnerable code pattern can travel from a repository into a production application.

How the need
shows up in real life.
A software team opens a pull request that introduces an exposed secret and a vulnerable dependency. Development-time checks may catch both, while dynamic application testing assesses behaviors visible only after deployment.

SECURE DEVELOPMENT
Build with security in the development flow.
Source code review, dependency analysis and dynamic testing answer different questions. Together they help development teams identify meaningful issues before and after code is released.

UNDERSTAND THE SERVICE
What the work actually involves.
Clear expectations are useful before any configuration begins. These are the questions clients commonly need answered.
What can source-code scanning identify?
Static application security testing examines source code for patterns associated with security weaknesses. Dependency analysis reviews third-party packages, and dynamic testing checks how a running application responds to carefully scoped test requests. Using more than one method provides different kinds of evidence.
How are security findings prioritized?
Findings should be reviewed in context, considering where the affected code runs, what data or privileges it can access, and whether an attack path is actually reachable. Confirmed, high-impact problems can then be prioritized for remediation and retesting.
Can we include private repositories?
Repository access, data-handling requirements and deployment options should be agreed before connecting sensitive code.
DELIVERY FRAMEWORKFrom requirements
From requirements
to operation.
Engagement steps and responsibilities depend on the scope agreed with each client.
01
Agree the applications and repositories in scope
Agree requirements and the systems in scope.
02
Review testing and data-handling permissions
Configure services with the required permissions and prerequisites.
03
Prioritize and reproduce relevant findings
Validate the relevant workflow and document responsibilities.
04
Re-test important fixes and track outcomes
Review outcomes and improve as appropriate.
THE PRACTICAL FRAMEWORK
Security across the software lifecycle
A useful service description explains what it changes, what a team must decide, and what must be tested.
Validate the running application
Use authorized dynamic testing where supported; source code review is not the same as runtime testing.
Prioritize and retest
Validate risk, plan fixes with developers and check whether meaningful issues were resolved.
Important scope consideration
Automated scanning helps find classes of weaknesses, but cannot prove software is free of vulnerabilities.

What matters in
the details.
Concrete questions to resolve before selecting or deploying this service.
Code and repositories
set access policies, data handling, scanning scope and appropriate source-code privacy controls.
Dependencies
review direct and transitive packages and reachability or exploit context where supported.
Running applications
authorized DAST or penetration testing may be separately licensed or scoped.
Developer workflow
prioritize findings, enable CI/CD integration and track remediation verification.
QUESTIONS ANSWEREDThe details
The details
you should know.
Plain-language answers and important service boundaries.
Does automated scanning replace a penetration test?
No. Automated scanners and human-led testing serve overlapping but different purposes.
Do we need application security if we only use SaaS apps?
Not every organization develops software. Identity, procurement and configuration controls may be more relevant.
Important service boundary. Automated scans do not prove an application secure; penetration tests and web scans may be separately licensed or scoped. Service availability, technical prerequisites and applicable features are confirmed during consultation and defined in the agreed scope before deployment.
