Application security

Find security weaknesses before they become business problems.

I review application code, architecture, access controls, dependencies, and authorized running systems. You receive evidence, priorities, and a clear path for remediation.

When to bring me in

  • A product is approaching launch, investment review, acquisition, or a large customer security review.
  • The team needs an independent review of application code, access controls, or production exposure.
  • A known security concern needs evidence, technical analysis, and an ordered remediation plan.

What you receive

  • A prioritized record of security findings with evidence, severity, and affected areas.
  • A remediation plan that connects each finding to a specific corrective action.
  • A clear view of the application boundaries, access paths, and operating risks that need attention.

Choose the review that matches the system you need assessed.

The code audit examines the application from the inside. The penetration test examines an authorized running application from the paths available to a user or attacker.

What the review covers

  • Application and architecture security review for the agreed scope.
  • Code audit of authentication, authorization, data handling, secrets, dependencies, and high-risk execution paths.
  • Written findings, remediation priorities, and a technical review with the people responsible for the system.

A focused code audit usually takes 10 business days. A web application penetration test usually takes 15 business days after the scope and written authorization are complete.

How the work begins

  1. We define the applications, repositories, environments, accounts, and test boundaries included in the review.
  2. You provide written authorization for the agreed targets before active security testing begins.
  3. I complete the review, document reproducible findings, and walk the team through remediation priorities.

Common questions

What can you review?

The scope can include application source code, APIs, authentication and authorization, data handling, cloud configuration, dependencies, deployment controls, and an authorized running application.

What is required before a penetration test?

The system owner must approve the targets, testing window, accounts, contacts, and rules of engagement in writing before active testing begins.

Will the team receive help understanding the findings?

Yes. The engagement includes a technical review of the findings, their impact, and the recommended order for remediation.
