Application security
Security engineered in, not bolted on.
Secure design, code review and security testing support to reduce risk in the software your business depends on.
Overview
Business systems hold financial records, personal data and credentials, which makes them attractive targets.
We help teams reduce risk through threat modelling, secure code review, dependency management and secure development practices. We are clear about what each activity covers and what it does not.
Capabilities
What we deliver
Threat modelling
Structured analysis of assets, trust boundaries and abuse cases to focus effort where risk is highest.
Secure code review
Manual review against common weakness categories such as those in the OWASP Top 10, supported by automated analysis.
Dependency and configuration review
Identification of vulnerable libraries, insecure defaults, exposed services and excessive permissions.
Authentication and access control
Design and review of login, session handling, MFA and role-based authorisation.
Secure development practices
CI checks, secret scanning, code review standards and patching routines your team can maintain.
Remediation support
Prioritised findings with practical fixes, and verification once changes are made.
Engagement
What you receive
Scope is confirmed in a written proposal after discovery. A typical engagement includes:
- Written findings ranked by risk, with recommended fixes
- Threat model for the reviewed system
- Recommended CI security checks and configuration
- Re-test of remediated findings within the agreed scope
Common questions
No. A code review examines source code and configuration; a penetration test attacks a running system. They find different issues. We will tell you which fits your situation and refer specialist testing where appropriate.
No review can guarantee that a system is free of vulnerabilities. A review reduces risk by finding and fixing issues within its scope, and should be repeated as the system changes.
Industries
Where this is often used
Education & private schools
Fee management, student records, staff payroll and parent communication for private schools and colleges.
Distribution & wholesale
Inventory, order management, credit control and route sales for distributors and wholesalers.
Growing SMEs
Practical, phased systems for small and medium-sized businesses moving beyond spreadsheets.
