A security audit that ends in fixes, not findings

We review your application code, dependencies, authentication, and cloud configuration against OWASP and NIST — and hand back a prioritised remediation plan your engineers can act on.

Why a security audit

Most breaches are not exotic. They come from a dependency nobody upgraded, an object reference nobody checked, or a storage bucket nobody meant to leave open — all of them findable, and all of them cheaper to fix before someone else finds them.

01

Run by engineers who ship

The review is done by the people who build production apps — led by a founder with a master’s in cybersecurity — so a finding arrives with the fix beside it, not just a CVE number and a severity score.

02

The whole surface, not just the code

Application logic, authentication and session handling, dependencies, secrets, API design, cloud configuration, and data at rest and in transit. An audit that stops at the source misses where most real incidents start.

03

Prioritised by real risk

Findings are ranked by exploitability and blast radius in your system, not by a scanner’s default severity — so the list you get is the order to actually work in.

04

Dependencies are the biggest surface

Most of your code is code you did not write. We audit the dependency tree, its known vulnerabilities, its transitive depth, and how far behind it has drifted — the update path included.

05

Reproducible, not hand-waved

Every finding comes with where it lives, how to reproduce it, what an attacker gets from it, and the specific change that closes it. No finding is filed that we cannot demonstrate.

06

Re-tested after you fix

A report you cannot verify against is half a service. Once your team ships the remediations, we re-test the findings and confirm in writing which ones are closed.

What we deliver

01

Threat Model & Scope

We map your assets, trust boundaries, and the attackers who actually matter to your product, then agree the scope in writing before any review starts.

02

Application & Dependency Review

Source-level review of authentication, authorisation, input handling, secrets, and API surface, plus a full audit of the dependency tree and its known vulnerabilities.

03

Infrastructure & Cloud Configuration

Cloud IAM, network exposure, storage permissions, transport and at-rest encryption, logging, and backup and recovery — reviewed against CIS benchmarks for your platform.

04

Findings Report & Remediation Plan

A prioritised report with reproduction steps, impact, and a concrete fix per finding — plus a re-test once your team has shipped them. We can implement the fixes ourselves if you want the work off your plate.

Process

  1. 01

    Scope

    We agree what is in scope, what is off limits, and what a bad day looks like for your business — so the audit is aimed at your risks, not a generic checklist.

  2. 02

    Assess

    Code, dependencies, and configuration are reviewed against OWASP, NIST, and CIS, with every finding reproduced and written up as we go.

  3. 03

    Remediate

    You get the prioritised plan and a walkthrough with your engineers. We implement the fixes if you want us to, then re-test and confirm what is closed.

Faqs

Common questions about our cybersecurity audits

No. This is a review-driven audit: we read the code, the dependency tree, and the configuration rather than attacking a running system from the outside. That finds a different — and usually larger — class of issue, because we can see the logic an external tester has to guess at. If you need a formal external pen test with an attestation letter, we will say so and scope the audit around it.

A focused audit of a single application typically runs one to two weeks; a product with several services, mobile clients, and its own cloud estate takes longer. Scope is agreed in writing before we start, so the timeline is not a surprise.

A prioritised findings report — each finding with its location, reproduction steps, impact, and a concrete fix — plus a walkthrough call with your engineers and a re-test once the remediations ship.

Either. Most clients take the report and fix it in-house with our guidance; some hand the remediation back to us. Both are fine, and the re-test is included regardless.

Yes. Mobile builds are reviewed against OWASP MASVS — local storage, keychain and keystore use, certificate handling, and what the app leaks in transit and in logs.

Yes, before anything is shared. Findings and source access are confidential by default and are never used as a public reference.
