Code review

A code review provides in-depth analysis of the application’s security posture and uncovers vulnerabilities.

Code Review

The purpose of a code review is to confirm that bespoke software does not present a security threat. A code review is generally used by clients with high risk applications to protect sensitive and confidential information, e.g. financial, payment services, personal data, intellectual property.

The code review process is designed to ensure that software has been both designed and implemented to comply with security best practice; thereby providing assurance that the software cannot be manipulated in unintended ways when installed in its working environment.

Why perform a code review?

To meet a regulatory requirement (e.g. PCI DSS 1.2, clause 6.3.2).
To verify that custom applications (self developed or outsourced) are free from acidental or intentional back-doors.
To conduct security due dilligence of key applications /intellectual property (IP) during a merger or acquisition.
