What does an application security review include?

Attack surface mapping, code and dependency analysis, OWASP Top 10 checks, authentication/authorization review, infrastructure configuration and a remediation plan prioritized by risk and effort.

What is the difference between hardening and a pentest?

A pentest exploits flaws to evidence impact. Hardening goes further: it fixes and strengthens the application and infrastructure, reducing the attack surface and making the system more resilient in production.

How much does an application security review cost?

A security review typically starts around USD 700 for small applications. Full hardening with assisted remediation is scoped to your codebase and infrastructure. You receive scope and an estimate before starting.

Do you also audit AI-generated code?

Yes. We audit code built with AI assistants, vibe coding and low-code platforms, focusing on security, sensitive data and production readiness.

What we assess and harden

Application layer

Authentication, session and authorization
Injection, XSS, SSRF and deserialization
Input validation and error handling

Dependencies & secrets

Vulnerable libraries (SCA)
Secrets exposed in code/CI
Update policy and SBOM

Infrastructure

Headers, TLS and server configuration
IAM, network and isolation
Logs, monitoring and security alerts

Application hardening checklist

HTTPS enforced and HSTS enabled
Security headers (CSP, X-Content-Type-Options)
Object-level authorization (prevents IDOR)
Rate limiting and brute-force protection
Secrets in a vault/secret manager, not in code

No known critical CVEs in dependencies
Logs without sensitive data and with an audit trail
Tested backups and incident response plan
Least privilege in IAM and database
Validation and sanitization of all user input

Frequently asked questions

What does the security review include?

Attack surface, code and dependencies, OWASP Top 10, auth, infrastructure config and a prioritized remediation plan.

Hardening vs. pentest?

A pentest exploits flaws; hardening fixes and strengthens app and infra to reduce the attack surface durably.

How much does it cost?

Reviews start around USD 700; full hardening is scoped. You get an estimate before starting.

Do you fix, not just report?

Yes. We remediate with your team and retest to confirm risks are closed.
