Security embedded in the build - not bolted on at the end.
Application security across the full software development lifecycle - from threat modelling in early design, through secure code review during development, to SAST and DAST-assisted testing before release.
Secure SDLC Coverage
Full lifecycle coverage
The earlier a vulnerability is found, the cheaper it is to fix.
A vulnerability found in production can cost significantly more to remediate than one caught during code review. As regulatory scrutiny of software security increases - particularly under India's DPDP Act and Saudi Arabia's PDPL - organisations can no longer treat application security as optional.
Customer data, business logic, and critical infrastructure all run on software that needs to be built securely from the ground up. We work with development teams on their terms - integrating into existing SDLC processes, CI/CD pipelines, and sprint cycles, rather than imposing external frameworks that slow delivery.
Common finding
Broken access control
OWASP #1 - missed by automated scanners in complex business logic
What SAST misses
Logic flaws & design issues
Automated tooling finds syntax-level issues. Manual review finds the ones that matter.
Engagement model
Project or retainer
Scoped by codebase size, or embedded in your ongoing SDLC as an advisory retainer.
Application security across the full stack
From the earliest design decisions to post-release verification - we cover the phases where vulnerabilities are introduced and where they are most cost-effective to fix.
Threat Modelling
Map application architecture, data flows, and trust boundaries to identify security risks before a line of code is written or reviewed. Aligned to STRIDE and PASTA methodologies.
Design phaseSecure Code Review
Practitioner-led examination of source code to identify vulnerabilities that penetration testing alone may not surface - insecure cryptographic implementations, injection flaws, broken access control, and sensitive data exposure.
Development phaseStatic Analysis (SAST)
Automated tooling combined with practitioner review to identify code-level vulnerabilities across the codebase. Tooling findings are triaged and validated - no raw scanner dumps.
Pre-releaseDynamic Analysis (DAST)
Runtime testing of the application in a live state - simulating attacker interaction with endpoints, authentication flows, and API surfaces to surface vulnerabilities not visible in static analysis.
Pre-release / stagingThreat Modelling
Map application architecture, data flows, and trust boundaries to identify security risks before a line of code is written or reviewed. Aligned to STRIDE and PASTA methodologies.
Secure Code Review
Practitioner-led examination of source code to identify vulnerabilities that penetration testing alone may not surface - insecure cryptographic implementations, injection flaws, broken access control, and sensitive data exposure.
Static Analysis (SAST)
Automated tooling combined with practitioner review to identify code-level vulnerabilities across the codebase. Tooling findings are triaged and validated - no raw scanner dumps.
Dynamic Analysis (DAST)
Runtime testing of the application in a live state - simulating attacker interaction with endpoints, authentication flows, and API surfaces to surface vulnerabilities not visible in static analysis.
Four phases. One continuous loop.
We treat application security as a continuous discipline integrated into development - not a gate at the end of the pipeline.
Threat Modelling
Map application architecture, data flows, trust boundaries, and identify security risks before a line of code is reviewed. Sets the context for everything that follows.
Static Analysis (SAST)
Automated tooling combined with practitioner review to identify code-level vulnerabilities across the entire codebase. Validated findings only - no noise.
Dynamic Analysis (DAST)
Runtime testing of the application in a running state - simulating attacker interaction with live endpoints and API surfaces.
Review & Remediation
Findings documented with code-level remediation guidance. Developer sessions to ensure fixes address root cause, not just symptom. Post-fix verification available.
Every engagement delivers six things.
Threat model documentation
Architecture diagrams, data flow maps, trust boundary analysis, and identified threat scenarios.
Secure code review report
Finding-by-finding report with file path, line reference, severity, and developer-ready remediation.
SAST/DAST findings
Validated scanner output with practitioner triage - severity ratings and remediation guidance per finding.
Security requirements checklist
A reusable checklist your development team can apply to future features and releases.
Developer remediation session
A live session with your development team to walk through findings and ensure fixes address root cause.
Post-fix verification review
Verification that critical and high-severity findings have been remediated correctly.
Project-based or embedded in your SDLC.
Project engagement
Scoped by codebase size and language stack. Covers one or more of: threat modelling, secure code review, SAST, DAST. Delivered with a full findings report and remediation session.
AppSec retainer
For teams shipping regularly - an ongoing advisory engagement embedded in your SDLC. We review new features, participate in sprint cycles, and provide continuous security input without blocking delivery.
