Application Security Architecture Review
before a line is written

An expert review of your application architecture, authentication, data handling and integrations, to catch design flaws that testing alone will miss.

How we help

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.

Authentication and authorisation model review

Data protection and secrets handling

API and third-party integration design

Hosting, network and deployment architecture

What’s included

Built around your environment

Every Application Security Architecture Review engagement is scoped to your systems, risks and team, with clear outcomes agreed before work starts.

  1. 01

    Design analysis

    Trust boundaries and data flows examined against secure design principles.

  2. 02

    Control mapping

    Required controls mapped to OWASP ASVS levels appropriate to your risk.

  3. 03

    Pragmatic advice

    Recommendations sized to your delivery plans, with alternatives where needed.

A clear path from scope to results

Applications are where your customers and data meet, and where attackers look first. As a company that builds software as well as secures it, we help development teams ship secure code without slowing down.

  1. Understand the design

    Review architecture, data flows and trust boundaries with your architects and developers.

  2. Model the threats

    Identify how the application could be abused and which controls should stop it.

  3. Test and review

    Manual and automated testing of running applications and source code.

  4. Fix and embed

    Developer-friendly fixes, retesting and secure development practices for next time.

Issues are caught in design and development, where they cost least to fix.

Developer-friendly

Findings come with code-level guidance from people who build software too.

Customer confidence

Independent testing evidence for clients, partners and regulators.

Secure by habit

Practices and tooling that make secure development the default.
