What is Secure Code Review?
Secure Code Review is a deep-dive examination of application source code to identify security vulnerabilities, coding errors, and implementation flaws that dynamic testing often misses. By analyzing the logic and structure of your code, we uncover the root causes of potential security failures.
Our approach combines automated Static Application Security Testing (SAST) with rigorous manual review by senior security engineers. We don’t just look for generic bugs; we analyze how your code handles data, manages sessions, and enforces access controls in the context of your specific business logic.
Integrating secure code review into your Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) allows you to resolve vulnerabilities early, significantly reducing remediation costs and ensuring a "secure-by-design" final product.
Strategic Benefits
- Detect root-cause vulnerabilities before they reach production
- Reduce long-term remediation costs by fixing early in the SDLC
- Improve team security awareness through developer-centric feedback
- Meet strict compliance requirements for secure development (e.g., BOT, PCI-DSS)
- Establish and enforce internal secure coding standards
- Identify complex logical flaws that automated scanners miss
Our Code Security Solutions
End-to-end review services designed for modern development teams
Static Analysis (SAST)
Automated analysis using elite tools and custom rulesets to identify common vulnerabilities and code quality issues at scale.
Manual Expert Review
Line-by-line inspection of high-risk components by engineers who understand both offensive security and software architecture.
Architecture & Logic Review
Assessment of application design patterns and data flows to identify systemic weaknesses and trust boundary issues.
Remediation Guidance
Direct support for your developers, providing secure code examples and architectural fix recommendations.
Secure SDLC Integration
Consulting on how to automate security gates within your CI/CD pipelines for continuous protection.
Developer Training
Workshops based on findings from your own codebase, turning "mistakes" into long-term learning opportunities for your team.
The Secure Code Review Methodology
A transparent, highly-focused process to ensure maximum security impact
Scoping & Context Gathering
We define the critical components of your codebase and understand the application’s intended business logic and threat profile.
Automated Deep-Scan
We employ enterprise-grade SAST tools to map the codebase and flag low-hanging fruit and common implementation errors.
Manual Logical Inspection
Our experts focus on authentication, authorization, cryptography, and data validation, areas where human logic is required.
Trust Boundary Analysis
We evaluate how your application interacts with external APIs, databases, and users to ensure data integrity across all boundaries.
Vulnerability Validation
Every finding is manually verified to eliminate false positives and accurately assess real-world business impact.
Technical & Executive Reporting
You receive a detailed report with line-specific references for developers and impact-focused summaries for management.
Verification & Retesting
We conduct a secondary review after fixes are applied to verify that the vulnerabilities are closed and no new issues were introduced.
What We Find
Our reviews uncover complex implementation issues that dynamic tests miss
Advanced Injections
Go beyond SQLi. We find NoSQL, LDAP, Expression Language, and Template injections where untrusted data reaches dangerous sinks.
Broken Access Control
Identifying IDOR, horizontal privilege escalation, and missing functional-level authorization checks within the code.
Cryptographic Flaws
Detecting weak algorithms, improper key management, and insecure use of initialization vectors (IVs) or random number generators.
Hardcoded Secrets
Finding API keys, database credentials, and certificates accidentally left in the source code or configuration files.
Insecure Deserialization
Uncovering points where untrusted data is deserialized into objects, potentially leading to Remote Code Execution (RCE).
Business Logic Flaws
Detecting workflow manipulation, price tampering, or multi-step bypasses that arise from flaws in the application logic.

The Reconix Advantage
Why top development teams trust us with their source code
Offensive Security Mindset
Our reviewers are penetration testers at heart. We look at your code through the eyes of an attacker, not just a debugger.
Context-Aware Analysis
We don’t just provide a list of CVEs. We understand what your app does and provide risk ratings based on actual business logic.
Zero False Positives
Our manual verification process ensures that every finding in our report is real, actionable, and verified.
Developer Collaboration
We act as an extension of your engineering team, not an external hurdle. We provide the 'why' behind every fix.
Remediation Focus
We provide code snippets and architectural patterns to help you fix things right the first time.
SDLC Maturity
We help you move from reactive patching to a proactive, secure-by-design development culture.
