Secure Code Review
One engagement, four layers of coverage: manual review of your source code, automated SAST and DAST scanning, and SCA analysis of your open-source dependencies - so nothing ships with a flaw only one technique would have caught.
What is secure code review?
Secure code review is a full-spectrum examination of your application's security - the source code your team writes, the application while it's running, and the open-source packages you depend on. Rather than treating manual review, SAST, DAST and SCA as separate services, we run all four together as one engagement, so nothing falls through the gap between techniques.
Manual review is a white-box discipline: our reviewers have full access to the codebase, so they can trace a vulnerability to its exact line and explain precisely how to fix it. Automated SAST, DAST and SCA scanning adds continuous, at-scale coverage on top - catching what manual review alone can't reach at pipeline speed.
Four ways we look at your application
Each technique catches something the others can't - together they cover the source, the running app and everything it depends on.
Manual Code Review
Line-by-line review of critical and high-risk modules by a security engineer - catching design flaws, broken authentication logic and business-logic issues automated tools can't reason about.
SAST - Static Testing
Automated scanning of your source code, bytecode or binaries without executing them - catching insecure patterns and injection risks as early as the first commit.
DAST - Dynamic Testing
Automated scanning that attacks your running application from the outside, the way a real attacker would - catching issues that only show up at runtime.
SCA - Dependency Analysis
Scanning of your open-source and third-party dependencies against known CVE and license databases - the code your team didn't write, but still ships.
What's included

Automated SAST scanning across your full codebase.
DAST Scanning
Automated DAST scanning of your running application, authenticated and unauthenticated.
SCA Scanning
SCA scanning of open-source dependencies against known CVE and license databases.
OWASP & CWE Mapping
Findings mapped to the OWASP Top 10 and relevant CWE classifications.
False-Positive Triage
False-positive triage by our security team, not a raw tool report.
Severity & Remediation Guidance
Severity ratings and clear remediation guidance for every finding.
Free Re-Review
A free re-review or rescan once fixes are in place.
How an engagement runs
Scope
Agree which repositories, environments and dependencies are in scope, and get access set up securely.
Scan
Automated SAST, DAST and SCA scans run across your code, your running application and your dependencies.
Review
Manual review of critical logic, paired with expert triage of every automated finding to cut false positives.
Report & verify
One prioritised report with severity ratings and remediation guidance, plus a free re-review once fixes are in place.
Questions we get asked first
What's the difference between manual review, SAST, DAST and SCA?
Manual review is expert human analysis of your source code, for the design and business-logic flaws tools can't reason about. SAST scans your source code automatically, DAST attacks your running application from the outside, and SCA checks your open-source dependencies for known vulnerabilities. We run all four together so each covers what the others miss.
How is this different from VAPT?
VAPT tests your running application from the outside, the way an attacker would, without access to source code. This engagement goes further - combining that outside view (DAST) with a look inside the source (manual review, SAST) and everything the application depends on (SCA).
Which languages and frameworks do you support?
Our reviewers and tooling work across the common enterprise stacks - tell us your language and framework when scoping, and we'll confirm coverage before the engagement starts.
Can this be part of our CI/CD pipeline?
Yes - SAST, DAST and SCA scanning can all be integrated into your pipeline for continuous coverage, with periodic manual review of critical changes layered on top, scoped to your release cadence.
Do we get a software bill of materials (SBOM)?
Yes - as part of the SCA component we build and maintain a full inventory of every open-source component your application uses, including nested dependencies, and alert you if a vulnerability is later disclosed in something you already ship.
