Security Audit. Application, cloud, API, and code review by engineers who ship secure systems.
Security Audit for software companies, SaaS platforms, and engineering teams that need a clear-eyed view of what is broken before an attacker, an auditor, or an enterprise procurement team finds out. OWASP Top 10 application review, AWS, GCP, and Azure cloud configuration audit, API security testing, dependency scanning, secrets management review, and SOC 2 or ISO 27001 readiness gap analysis. Reported with severity ratings, exploit paths, and prioritised remediation. USD pricing.
Tell us what you want audited (application code, cloud infrastructure, APIs, mobile app, full stack), the deadline driver (enterprise customer, certification, suspected incident, internal review), and the access you can provide. Scoped plan plus quote within 3 business days.

Who we've built for.
How we work
- Overview
- Three phases from access setup to remediation roadmap. Every finding is documented with severity (Critical, High, Medium, Low, Informational), exploit path, affected asset, and a specific fix. No vague advice. No fear-selling.
- Step 1 — Scope and architecture
- Less than 1 week setup. Scope confirmed in writing. Access provisioned (read-only cloud roles, source code repository access via SSH key, staging environment access). Rules of engagement signed. Pre-audit questionnaire completed by your team covering architecture, data flow, third-party services, and incident history.
- Step 2 — Build in sprints
- 2 to 6 weeks audit. Static code analysis. Dynamic application security testing (DAST) against staging. Manual code review of high-risk paths (auth, payment, file upload, deserialisation, IDOR-prone endpoints). Cloud config audit (IAM, networking, encryption, logging, storage). API security testing (auth, authorisation, rate limiting, injection). Dependency scanning. Secrets scanning. Container and IaC scanning. Real-time triage of any P0 findings with your team.
- Step 3 — Harden and launch
- Less than 1 week reporting. Full report delivered in 5 business days. Executive summary, scope, methodology, findings (each with severity, evidence, exploit path, affected asset, recommended fix, references), remediation roadmap, and SOC 2 or ISO 27001 mapping if scoped. Walkthrough call with engineering and security leadership. Optional retainer for re-test after remediation.

Application security review (OWASP Top 10 plus)
Manual code review of authentication, authorization, session management, input validation, output encoding, file upload, deserialisation, IDOR-prone endpoints, business logic flaws, and crypto usage. Static analysis with Semgrep, CodeQL, or Snyk Code. Findings mapped to OWASP Top 10 (2021), OWASP API Top 10 (2023), and CWE references.
Cloud configuration audit (AWS, GCP, Azure)
IAM review (least privilege, MFA, root account hygiene, role assumption paths). Networking review (security groups, NACLs, VPC peering, public exposure). Encryption review (KMS keys, EBS, S3, RDS encryption). Logging review (CloudTrail, GuardDuty, Cloud Audit Logs). Storage review (S3 bucket policies, GCS ACLs, Azure Storage SAS tokens). Tools: ScoutSuite, Prowler, Steampipe, plus manual review.
API security testing
Authentication and authorization testing (Broken Object Level Authorization, Broken Function Level Authorization, mass assignment). Rate limiting and quota testing. Injection testing (SQL, NoSQL, command, GraphQL injection). Webhook signature verification testing. CORS configuration review. API key rotation and storage review.
Dependency and supply chain scanning
Direct and transitive dependency scanning via Snyk, Dependabot, Trivy, or Grype. CVE matching with CVSS scoring. License compliance review. Container image scanning. Lockfile integrity review. Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) generation if requested. Recommendations on which dependencies to update, replace, or pin.
Secrets and credentials review
Git history scanning for committed secrets (TruffleHog, Gitleaks). Cloud secrets manager usage review (AWS Secrets Manager, Google Secret Manager, Azure Key Vault, HashiCorp Vault, Doppler). Environment variable handling review. API key rotation policy. Service account hygiene. Long-lived token detection.
Compliance gap analysis (SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR)
Map findings to SOC 2 Trust Service Criteria, ISO 27001 Annex A controls, HIPAA Security Rule safeguards, or GDPR Articles. Gap analysis identifying which controls you can pass today, which need engineering work, and which need policy work. Sequenced remediation plan to certification readiness. We do not issue certificates, we get you ready for the audit firm that does.

FAQ
Adjacent but not identical. A pentest emphasises external attacker simulation, often with a tighter time-box and a focus on demonstrating exploit chains. Our security audit covers code review, cloud config, API logic, dependencies, secrets, and compliance gaps holistically. We can pair the audit with a focused pentest from a partner if you need both. For SOC 2 you typically need an external pentest plus our audit. For pre-procurement you may only need the audit.
