Cybersecurity assessment services

Application source code review and stress testing

Manual secure code review and targeted performance / load stress testing to surface code-level flaws and resilience gaps.

About the service

Service Description

A source code review is a manual, line-by-line review of your application code for security flaws, complemented by automated static analysis. Stress testing exercises the running application under load to surface denial-of-service and resilience risks.

Why this service matters

The business case

Most application vulnerabilities are visible in the code long before they're visible in a black-box test. Source review finds them early, when they're cheap to fix; stress testing ensures the application holds up under attack-grade load.
