Introduction to Source Code Review Services
Our team of highly skilled cybersecurity experts uses Source Code Review to carefully go over the architecture, implementation, and programming logic in order to find any vulnerabilities or openings that could be exploited by hostile actors. Through close examination of the source code, we are able to identify important security flaws including weak authentication systems, input validation weaknesses, data leakage threats, and possible backdoors that might have been inadvertently or purposefully left behind.
What is Source Code Review?
Secure code review is a manual or automated technique for inspecting an application’s source code. The purpose of this investigation is to detect any current security flaws or vulnerabilities. Among other things, code review looks for logic flaws, reviews spec implementation, and verifies style rules.
Automated review allows vast codebases to be evaluated fast and efficiently. Developers undertake this evaluation while coding, utilizing either open source or paid tools to identify vulnerabilities in real time.
Manual review is a detailed review of the complete codebase by a senior or more experienced developer. This approach can be exceedingly tedious and time-consuming, but it detects weaknesses, such as business logic issues, that automated techniques may overlook.
Importance of Source Code Review Service
Information And Asset Protection
Secure code review finds and fixes vulnerabilities in the code, protecting the organization's assets and sensitive data.
Cost
Secure code review can help reduce costs by discovering and resolving vulnerabilities early in the development process.
Compliance
Secure code review is a need for many enterprises, as mandated by standards and regulations like SOC II and PCI-DSS. Organizations can comply with these regulations by conducting a secure code review.
Code Quality
Source code reviews help improve code quality by identifying errors and ensuring more enhanced application.
Risk Mitigation
Increasing the application’s resilience to threats by detecting security issues during the development reduces the chance of security incidents.
Educating Developers
Secure code reviews help the developers learn to write secure code encouraging a culture of security within the development team.

Our Approach
HAZERCLOUD’s Source Code Review process follows a well-defined methodology:
Planning and Discovery
Information Gathering
Vulnerability Assessment
Penetration Testing
Reporting & Remediation
Planning and Discovery
We collaborate with you to understand your business objectives, security posture, and regulatory requirements. This phase also involves system discovery and scoping to determine the applications and infrastructure to be assessed.This information then forms the foundation for developing a tailored assessment plan that meets your specific needs.
Information Gathering
We employ various techniques to map your attack surface, including OSINT and secure interviews, to identify potential vulnerabilities beyond those revealed by automated scans. Additionally, we leverage vulnerability scanners designed for specific technologies and conduct penetration testing to simulate real-world attacks.
Vulnerability Assessment
Automated vulnerability scanning tools and manual techniques are employed to identify potential weaknesses within your systems. These vulnerabilities are then prioritized based on their severity and potential impact, allowing security teams to focus on the most critical issues first. Following remediation efforts, a retest is typically conducted to verify that the vulnerabilities have been effectively addressed.
Penetration Testing
Our ethical hackers simulate real-world attacks to exploit vulnerabilities and evaluate your defenses. Through penetration testing, we identify these weaknesses before malicious actors can, allowing us to patch them and significantly improve your overall cybersecurity posture
Reporting & Remediation
We deliver a comprehensive report outlining vulnerabilities, severity levels, and a prioritized remediation plan. Our team offers guidance to help you patch vulnerabilities and enhance your security posture. We go beyond reporting – our experts will work alongside you to implement the remediation plan, ensuring efficient patching and minimizing disruption to your operations.
