CODE REVIEW
We review your code manually. We can work with read access to a repository or a clean ZIP. We read the code, run a few targeted checks in your build and release pipeline to support the review, then point to the exact lines to fix and why. You get code references, examples of safer patterns, a clear order of work, and a short summary for non-technical stakeholders.
Use this when you’re about to ship, pulling in a major dependency, changing authentication or payments, exposing a new endpoint, or when you want a quick read before a penetration test. It can be a one-off before a release or part of your ongoing pull request flow.
We focus on the things that actually cause incidents. Authentication and session handling, input and output handling, access control, cryptography use, secret management, error handling and logging, insecure defaults, dependency and configuration issues, and risky third-party patterns. For mobile apps we also look at build settings and how keys and secrets are handled in the app.
The process is simple. Short kick-off to agree scope. If the codebase is large, we set a sampling plan so we start with the riskiest parts. Static and dependency analysis helps us find candidates but a human confirms every finding. We can raise issues in your tracker or provide a short report if that’s easier. We stay available while you fix, then we retest the important items.
What you get is practical. Prioritised findings with code snippets and links, why it matters in your context, and examples of safer approaches. A plain summary you can share with managers. A retest to confirm the key fixes landed.
You can choose a one-time review for a release, a release gate before production, or ongoing pull request review for high-risk areas. If you want some automation alongside humans, we can add lightweight checks into your build and release pipeline so common mistakes are caught early.
We deliver remotely by default. We use read-only access where possible, keep minimal artefacts, raise issues in your tracker, and delete artefacts after delivery. We align with UK GDPR and can support NHS DSPT expectations. If you handle special category data, we’ll run DPIAs where needed. If you want us onsite for a workshop or handover, we can plan that in.
If you need testing from the outside, see Penetration Testing. If your issue is cloud guardrails, see Cloud Review. If you want small utilities and automation, see Tooling.
Yes. Static and dependency analysis helps us find likely issues, then a human confirms each one to cut false positives.
We agree a sampling plan, start with the risky areas, and expand if you want more depth.
Common stacks, Java, .NET, JavaScript and TypeScript, Python, Go, Kotlin and Swift. Ask if you’ve got something niche.
Yes. We can add pull request checks, wire lightweight checks into your build and release pipeline, and raise tickets in GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps, or Jira.
