Security Audits & Architecture Reviews
Secure design prevents vulnerabilities. We review your architecture to identify structural weaknesses.
Who this is for
Teams who want the design and the code examined by someone who breaks software for a living, before the weakness reaches production.
Methodology
What We Test
- Security architecture and trust boundaries across applications and cloud environments
- Identity, authentication, and authorization flows
- Configuration drift and insecure design assumptions
- Privilege models and access paths attackers would abuse
- Logging, monitoring, and detection gaps relevant to real attack paths
How We Test
- Review architecture from an attacker's perspective
- Trace realistic attack paths across systems and identities
- Validate whether controls actually prevent exploitation
- Correlate findings with real-world exploitation techniques
- Focus on abuse scenarios instead of control presence
What You Receive
- Architectural risk assessment tied to attacker impact
- Identified trust boundary and privilege escalation issues
- Practical remediation guidance based on exploitability
- Prioritized findings grounded in real risk
- Executive summary plus deep technical detail
How a review runs
-
Scope & authorisation
We agree which codebases, components or architectures are in scope, the depth of review, and what is explicitly excluded. Nothing starts without written authorisation and, if you want one, an NDA.
-
Inputs & access
We tell you what we need — repository or read access, build instructions, architecture diagrams and data-flow documentation, and a named technical contact who can answer design questions.
-
Threat modelling
We work out what an attacker would want from this system and which trust boundaries matter, so the review targets consequential risk rather than style issues.
-
Manual review
Review is done by hand, informed by tooling rather than driven by it. Where a finding can be safely demonstrated in a test environment, we demonstrate it; where it cannot, we explain the reasoning and the conditions required.
-
Report & walkthrough
You get an executive summary and developer-level detail with file and component references, remediation guidance, and an explicit note of areas reviewed that were sound. We walk your engineers through it.
-
Follow-up review
We re-review the changes you make to confirm the issue is actually resolved rather than moved. Scope and window are agreed before the engagement begins.
