Application Security Code Review

Attack prevention

Organizations can effectively mitigate approximately 25% to 40% of potential security vulnerabilities and associated cyber attacks.

The primary value of security code review is in protecting applications from threats outside because each application possibly can have some undiscovered or unchecked vulnerabilities and weaknesses. Application security code review can help companies to defend against cybercriminals, and this process should be a constant part of the development process, especially if applications usually use third-party integrations with other services.

Cost efficiency

By addressing the security issue during the development phase, the company can save approximately 30 times in direct costs and prevent potential reputation damage.

The cost of solving a security issue on production is significantly higher than solving it during the development phase. It is important to note that vulnerabilities are often discovered only after the product has been deployed. Besides that, one critical security issue can cause the loss of customer trust and the reputation of the company and lead to outflow of customers.

Regulatory compliance

Confidentiality. Integrity. Availability

Regulatory standards laid out in HIPAA, GDPR, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, and others require companies to often do mandatory testing and audits of their security systems.

Expensive fines can be levied if companies don’t adhere to these rules.

1. List of vulnerabilities with description and prioritization

Each vulnerability will have a detailed description, elucidating its nature, potential impact, and the specific circumstances under which it could be exploited.

We assign a risk rating to each vulnerability based on factors such as potential impact, exploitability, and the likelihood of occurrence.

2. List of fixed issues

A crucial aspect of the audit report is the list of issues that have been successfully addressed and rectified.

This section will catalog the vulnerabilities that were identified during testing and, subsequently, remediated during the fix phase.

A QA team will assess whether the modifications have any impact on the product’s functionalities.

3. Recommendations for SDLC process to prevent security issues in the future

This proactive approach helps identify potential vulnerabilities before they become deeply ingrained in the codebase.
