UNDERSTANDING REQUIREMENTS

Why Secure Code Review Matters?

Secure code review identifies and remediates vulnerabilities before deployment, protecting data, ensuring compliance, safeguarding M&A transactions, and significantly reducing remediation costs.

Protect Sensitive Data

Insecure code enables data leakage and breaches

  • Strengthen authentication to secure data
  • Prevent large-scale breaches with encryption

Look under the hood

Repeated flaws reveal deeper engineering gaps

  • Eliminate systemic issues through review
  • Stop recurring exploits with secure coding

Strengthen M&A Due Diligence

Secure code review validates technology quality

  • Reduce hidden post-acquisition liabilities
  • Protect IP and ensure uptime

Improve Code Quality

Reviews embed security into engineering culture

  • Eliminate weak patterns early
  • Protect data through better design

Cut Remediation Costs

Fixing in code is cheaper than post-release patches

  • Reduce costly late-stage fixes
  • Shorten exposure with faster remediation
WHATS INCLUDED

Software Secured’s Secure Code Review

Our Secure Code Review blends automated static analysis, manual inspection of critical modules, and a 120-point checklist to uncover exploitable flaws, logic bypasses, and compliance gaps.

Static Analysis and Expert Validation

  • Scan with proprietary and commercial tools for code vulnerabilities
  • Suppress false positives and validate real risks with expert review

Manual Deep Review of Security-Sensitive Modules

  • Authentication, authorization, cryptography, and session handling are inspected line by line
  • File uploads/downloads, database access, and configuration files are rigorously tested

Business Logic and Hidden Risk Analysis

  • Detect privilege escalation, logic bypasses, and unsafe debug functions
  • Expose potential backdoors, time bombs, and hidden design flaws

Uncover Insecure Design Decisions

Architecture flaws often create systemic weaknesses

  • Identify risky trust boundaries, weak isolation, and unsafe dependency choices
  • Recommend design-level changes that prevent vulnerabilities before code is even written

Comprehensive Checklist and Dependency Audit

  • Codebase inspected against a bank grade secure coding checklist
  • Inventory third-party components and flag known CVEs and licensing issues
OUR VALUE

What sets Software Secured Apart

Expert Human Review

Tools alone miss exploitable flaws

  • Identify logic flaws and unsafe patterns
  • Provide trusted, reproducible proof-of-concept exploits

Developer-Ready Deliverables

Engineers need clear fixes, not vague advice

  • Deliver step-by-step remediation with context
  • Integrate fixes directly into developer workflows

Expertise Across Critical Languages

We cover the following languages:

  • C, C++, Java, C#, TypeScript, JavaScript
  • Python, PHP, Ruby, and ColdFusion

M&A Liability and Technical Debt

Reviews reveal risks beyond code flaws

  • Expose dependencies creating financial liabilities
  • Reduce post-acquisition remediation and compliance costs

“I was impressed at how thorough the test plan was, and how "deep" some of the issues were that their testing uncovered. Also, the onboarding process was simple and painless: they were able to articulate exactly what they needed from us, and showed a clear understanding of the product they would be testing during our initial demo”.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from SAST tools?

We combine automated static analysis with expert manual review, uncovering exploitable flaws and logic issues scanners cannot detect, while removing false positives that waste developer time.

Which areas of the codebase do you prioritize?

We focus on authentication, authorization, cryptography, file handling, data storage, and business logic modules most likely to impact security and compliance outcomes with white box pentesting.

Can secure code review help in M&A?

Yes. We uncover vulnerabilities, outdated libraries, licensing issues, and hidden flaws, protecting the acquiring company from operational disruption, financial liability, and reputational damage.

What deliverables will we receive?

Reports include prioritized issues, CVSS and DREAD scoring, business impact statements, and developer-ready fixes remediation guidance.

How actionable are the findings?

Every vulnerability includes reproduction steps, remediation guidance, and risk scoring. Integration into JIRA, Azure DevOps and Slack ensures developers can immediately triage and fix issues.
