Code Review & DevSecOps Deliverables

  • Manual review of critical authorization, cryptography, and business logic code paths
  • Calibration of SAST scanners to eliminate developer alert fatigue and false positives
  • Software Composition Analysis (SCA) for open-source dependency vulnerabilities
  • Automated security quality gates built for GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Azure DevOps

What you receive

  • Manual findings with file/line and data-flow context
  • Root-cause and secure-remediation pattern explanation
  • SAST/SCA rule and quality-improvement backlog
  • CI/CD gate design with blocking criteria and exceptions
  • Technology-specific secure-coding guidance
  • Regression tests and team results workshop

Delivery flow

From scope to a verified result

  1. Scope and safety boundaries. Confirm the objective, systems, roles, environment, exclusions, authorised actions and emergency stop contact.

  2. Information and access. Receive only the documentation, accounts, configuration or evidence needed for the work through a secure channel.

  3. Static & Dynamic Source Code Review (SAST). We perform static code analysis and integrate security gates directly into your CI/CD pipelines.

  4. Validation and reporting. Confirm findings, remove false positives and connect each risk to business impact and an accountable owner.

  5. Workshop and follow-through. Explain priorities, answer delivery teams, agree remediation timing and perform a retest where included.

Before we start

Frequently asked questions

How long does an engagement usually take?

Timing depends on the number of systems, roles, environments, available documentation and agreed constraints. After initial information is received, the scope states the stages, customer involvement and a specific schedule.

What should we prepare before work starts?

Usually we need a system or process owner, current scope, access and test accounts, architecture or process information, critical business scenarios and an emergency contact. Never send passwords through a normal website form.

Will we receive only a technical report?

No. The standard output includes an executive summary, prioritised detail, evidence, remediation guidance and a results workshop. Where relevant, the engagement includes a retest or implementation roadmap.

How much code can be reviewed manually?

A complete line-by-line review of a large system is rarely efficient. Use the threat model, change diff, data flows and SAST to select critical areas, then manually trace trust boundaries and security decisions.

When should SAST block a build?

Only after rules and triage are tuned. Block high-confidence, high-impact new findings in relevant code, while allowing a documented exception with owner and expiry. Uncontrolled blocking noise quickly destroys trust.
