Application Security Architecture Review

Expert review of application design and controls

Overview

Design flaws are the most expensive vulnerabilities to fix later. We review architecture documents and talk to your engineers to assess authentication, authorisation, session handling, data protection, integrations and infrastructure.

What we cover

Authentication and authorisation model review
Data protection and secrets handling
API and third-party integration design
Hosting, network and deployment architecture

Capabilities

Design analysis: Trust boundaries and data flows examined against secure design principles.
Control mapping: Required controls mapped to OWASP ASVS levels appropriate to your risk.
Pragmatic advice: Recommendations sized to your delivery plans, with alternatives where needed.

What you receive

Architecture risk assessment
Annotated data flow diagrams
Control requirements list
Prioritised design recommendations

Application Security Program Assessment

Measure and mature your secure development programme

Overview

We look at governance, design, implementation, verification and operations across your development teams. You get an honest maturity score and a roadmap of improvements that fit how your teams already work.

What we cover

OWASP SAMM maturity assessment
Secure development lifecycle review
Tooling and pipeline coverage analysis
Developer training and champion programme review

Capabilities

Maturity baseline: Interviews and evidence review produce a scored view of every practice area.
Roadmap: Improvements prioritised by risk reduction and effort, over 6 to 18 months.
Metrics: Measures to track progress, such as time to fix and vulnerability escape rate.

What you receive

SAMM maturity scorecard
Gap analysis report
Improvement roadmap
Programme metrics framework

Application Threat Modelling

Identify abuse cases and the controls to stop them

Overview

We run threat modelling with your product and engineering teams using proven methods such as STRIDE and attack trees. The output is a living model that guides design decisions, test plans and backlog priorities.

What we cover

Facilitated workshops with product and engineering
STRIDE and attack-tree analysis
Abuse cases and security user stories
Threat models kept up to date as features change

Capabilities

Workshop facilitation: Structured sessions that keep discussion focused and produce decisions.
Backlog-ready output: Threats translated into security requirements and test cases your team can deliver.
Team enablement: Templates and coaching so teams can threat model new features themselves.

What you receive

Threat model and diagrams
Threat and mitigation register
Security user stories
Threat modelling playbook

Application Security Assessments

Manual and automated testing of web apps and APIs

Overview

Our testers combine automated scanning with manual exploration of authentication, authorisation, input handling and business logic. Every confirmed issue includes evidence, impact and developer-ready remediation.

What we cover

Web application and API penetration testing
Authenticated testing across user roles
Business logic and authorisation testing
OWASP Top 10 and API Security Top 10 coverage

Capabilities

Manual depth: Logic flaws, access control bypasses and chained exploits found by experienced testers.
API focus: REST and GraphQL testing for broken object-level authorisation and data exposure.
Free retest: We confirm each fix works and issue an updated report.

What you receive

Executive summary
Technical findings with evidence
Developer remediation guidance
Retest report

Mobile Application Security Assessment

Test Android and iOS apps and their back ends

Overview

Mobile apps carry payment, identity and personal data in an environment you do not control. We test data storage, communication, authentication, tamper resistance and back-end APIs, on real devices.

What we cover

Static and dynamic analysis of app binaries
Local data storage and keychain review
Certificate pinning and network traffic analysis
Back-end API testing
OWASP MASVS-aligned reporting

Capabilities

Device-level testing: Testing on rooted and jailbroken devices to see what an attacker could extract.
Fintech experience: Scenarios for mobile money, payments and onboarding flows common in Ghana.
End-to-end view: App and API tested together, because most mobile breaches start at the back end.

What you receive

Mobile security assessment report
MASVS compliance view
Remediation guidance for developers
Retest confirmation

Source Code Review

Find vulnerabilities directly in your code base

Overview

Code review finds issues that black-box testing cannot reach, such as hidden functionality, weak cryptography and unsafe data handling. We prioritise high-risk components, validate tool output manually and explain fixes in your language and framework.

What we cover

Manual review of high-risk components
Static analysis with false-positive triage
Secrets, dependency and licence scanning
Framework-specific secure coding guidance

Capabilities

Risk-focused review: Effort concentrated on authentication, payments, data access and integrations.
Tool-assisted, human-verified: Static analysis results confirmed by reviewers, so you only see real issues.
Supply chain checks: Vulnerable and outdated dependencies identified with upgrade advice.

What you receive

Code review findings report
Annotated code references
Dependency risk report
Secure coding recommendations
