Security Testing | SECURE CODE REVIEW

Detect vulnerabilities early in the development lifecycle

Mantua Services will examine the application source code to spot flaws and vulnerabilities — based on logic, style guide, and specifications — and recommend corrections early in the development process.

What is Secure Code Review

Even the smartest of developers can commit mistakes in writing lengthy code that integrates with several applications, on a deadline, with little to no sleep. A Secure Code Review, especially when performed early in the development timeline, can catch potential vulnerabilities in the source code and prevent delays in the product launch.

With Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing + Secure Code Review, the application you will deploy will be free of bugs and vulnerabilities, resulting in an improved and safer customer experience.

What to expect

We will perform a combination of Automated and Manual Secure Code Review activities to assess security, design flaws, and conformance to programming language-specific best practices. We align with Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) recommendations.

In an Automated Code Review, open-source and in-house tools automatically and very quickly review the code using a pre-determined set of rules and guidelines, to find inferior code.

In a Manual Secure Code Review, a senior developer will inspect the code line by line. The manual process is slower but can better understand the context in which the author wrote the code. The reviewer will be able to validate the logic versus the intention in order to address specific issues.

After the review, we will produce a report containing a ranked list of vulnerabilities (based on the Common Vulnerability Scoring System), evidence of these findings, and recommendations on how to fix the issues. We will be available for consultation as your team implements remediations.

The scope of our Secure Code Review service covers the following:
