Application Security Analysis

Application security analysis for your software: we find the vulnerabilities, insecure code patterns, and dependency risks attackers exploit, with proof-of-concept and a risk-rated report. We can fix them and harden your code too.

What our application security analysis covers

We test your application from the code to the running app, find what attackers could exploit, and hand you a prioritised plan, or fix it. A selection of what we cover:

Static code analysis (SAST)

Automated and manual source-code review for vulnerabilities and insecure patterns.

Dynamic testing (DAST)

Runtime analysis to catch vulnerabilities that only appear when the app is running.

Dependencies & supply chain

Review of third-party libraries and packages for known and risky vulnerabilities.

Auth, sessions & access

Authentication, session management, and authorisation flaws that lead to account takeover.

Injection & input handling

Testing for SQL injection, XSS, command injection, and other input-based attacks.

API security & data handling

API endpoints, rate limiting, data exposure, and encryption of data in transit and at rest.

Our Process

1

Static Code Review

We analyse your source code line by line for security flaws, logic errors, and unsafe patterns.

2

Dynamic Testing

We test the running application to find vulnerabilities that only appear during execution.

3

Dependency & Supply Chain Audit

We review third-party libraries and dependencies for known vulnerabilities and license risks.

4

Risk Report & Remediation Plan

We document every finding with severity, impact, and step-by-step fix instructions.

5

Remediation & verification

If you choose the full tier, we fix the vulnerabilities, harden the code and config, wire security testing into CI/CD, and re-check 30 days later.

F.A.Q About Application Security

What is an application security analysis?
It is an in-depth review of your software for security weaknesses: insecure code, vulnerable dependencies, authentication and access flaws, injection points, and API exposure. You get a risk-rated report with proof-of-concept examples and clear fixes.
What is the difference between SAST and DAST?
SAST (static analysis) reviews your source code for flaws without running it; DAST (dynamic analysis) tests the running application to catch issues that only appear at runtime. We use both, plus manual review, because each finds problems the others miss.
Do you just report problems, or can you fix them?
Both options exist. The assessment tier delivers the report; the full tier means we remediate the vulnerabilities, improve the security architecture, harden configuration, add security testing to your CI/CD, and re-check afterwards.
Is this a penetration test?
It overlaps but goes deeper. A pen test focuses on exploiting the running app from the outside; we also review the source code, dependencies, and design from the inside, which finds root causes a black-box test alone would miss. We can advise if a formal pen test is also worthwhile.
Do you check our third-party libraries and dependencies?
Yes. Supply-chain risk is a major source of breaches, so we audit your third-party libraries and packages for known vulnerabilities and risky or abandoned components, and recommend safe upgrades.
Which platforms and languages do you cover?
We assess applications across Windows, Linux, and macOS, and a wide range of languages and frameworks, including web, desktop, server, and API back-ends. Tell us your stack and we will confirm fit before any work begins.
Will testing disrupt our live application or users?
Static analysis is entirely non-disruptive. For dynamic testing we prefer a staging environment, and if we must test production we agree the approach and timing with you first to avoid any impact on users.
How do you keep our code and data confidential?
We work over secure, least-privilege access, handle your code and credentials carefully, and can sign an NDA before anything is shared. Findings are delivered privately to you and never disclosed elsewhere.
How long does it take?
It depends on the size and complexity of the application. After an initial scoping conversation we give you a clear timeline, with remediation scheduled separately based on the findings.
Can you integrate security testing into our pipeline?
Yes. As part of the full tier we can wire SAST, dependency scanning, and other checks into your CI/CD pipeline so new code is tested automatically and issues are caught before release.
Will we get something we can show auditors or customers?
Yes. The report documents what was tested, the risk ratings, proof of concept, and remediation, which is useful evidence for security questionnaires, due diligence, and your own customers.
How does the quote process work?
Tell us about your application and pick the option that fits. We review it and send you a tailored, fixed-scope quote, usually within one business day. It is free and there is no obligation.
