Critical code paths
Authentication, authorisation, payments, file handling and anything that parses untrusted input, reviewed manually.
Cybersecurity — Secure Development
Secure Code Review And Secure SDLC, Built Into How You Ship.
Fixing a design flaw in code costs a fraction of fixing it in production. We review security-critical code by hand and help your team build security into the way software is designed, reviewed and released.
Black-box testing can only find what is visible from outside. Injection paths buried in a data layer, insecure deserialisation, secrets committed to a repository and weak build pipelines are far easier to find in the source than through the browser. A secure code review reads the code that handles authentication, data access and external input, prioritised by how data flows through it.
Review alone does not stop the same mistakes recurring. Our Secure SDLC consulting looks at how work moves from idea to release: where threat modelling happens, which checks run in CI, how dependencies are vetted and how incidents feed back into design. The output is a prioritised roadmap, not a policy binder.
We work alongside your developers. Findings carry file and line references, and guidance is written in the language and framework your team actually uses.
Coverage
What Secure Development Work Covers
Dependencies and supply chain
Vulnerable and abandoned packages, unpinned versions and the risk they bring into your build.
Secrets handling
Keys, tokens and credentials in code, configuration, container images and commit history.
CI/CD pipeline
Who can change the build, what runs on every commit and whether a compromised pipeline could ship malicious code.
Threat modelling
Structured analysis of a feature or system before it is built, so the design removes whole classes of attack.
Secure SDLC roadmap
A maturity assessment against NIST CSF and Zero Trust principles, with policy and process templates ready to adopt.
In Detail
Secure Development Services In Detail
01
Secure Code Review
Manual and assisted source-code review to catch vulnerabilities before they ship.
Purpose
Find injection flaws, insecure deserialisation and logic-level issues that black-box testing structurally cannot reach.
Scope
Application source, dependency and supply-chain risk, secrets handling and CI/CD pipeline configuration.
Methodology
Manual review of security-critical code paths, prioritised by data flow and attack surface, supported by static analysis tooling.
Deliverables
Line-referenced findings, secure coding guidance and a dependency risk report.
Business Value
“Shifts security left — fixing a design flaw in code is an order of magnitude cheaper than fixing it in production.”
02
Security Consulting
Strategic advisory for teams building or maturing a security programme.
Purpose
Give engineering and leadership a clear, prioritised roadmap instead of a checklist of unrelated fixes.
Scope
Security architecture review, Secure SDLC design, incident-response readiness and compliance gap analysis for SOC 2 and ISO 27001.
Methodology
Structured interviews, architecture and policy review, benchmarked against NIST CSF and Zero Trust principles.
Deliverables
Maturity assessment, prioritised roadmap and policy and process templates ready for adoption.
Business Value
“Turns security from a recurring fire drill into a programme leadership can actually plan around.”
Process
How A Secure Development Engagement Runs
- 01
Architecture walkthrough
Your team explains the system, its data flows and where sensitive data lives, so review effort goes where the risk is.
- 02
Code review
Manual review of security-critical paths with static analysis support, tracing untrusted input from entry to sink.
- 03
Pipeline and dependency review
Build configuration, secrets handling and third-party packages are assessed alongside the application code.
- 04
Findings and guidance
Line-referenced findings with secure coding guidance and a dependency risk report.
- 05
Roadmap
For consulting engagements, a maturity assessment and prioritised plan your engineering leads can schedule.
FAQ
Questions About Secure Software Development
We review mainstream web and mobile stacks, including JavaScript and TypeScript, Node.js, React, Python, Java, Kotlin, Swift and Flutter. Tell us your stack during scoping and we will confirm coverage.
For a code review, yes, read-only access to the repository in scope. An NDA can be signed before access is shared, and we can work from a sanitised copy if you prefer.
A penetration test attacks the running system from outside. A code review reads the source. They find different problems, and together they give the strongest assurance before a release.
Indicative pricing starts at ₹30,000 per codebase, with a typical turnaround of five to nine business days depending on size. Security consulting is scoped per engagement.
