Secure Code & Cloud-Native Reviews
Find flaws in code and cloud before release.
Manual and tool-assisted review of source code and cloud-native configurations to catch vulnerabilities early in the SDLC.
Overview
Manual and tool-assisted review of source code, cloud-native configurations, and infrastructure-as-code to catch vulnerabilities early, when they're cheapest to fix, with guidance your developers can act on.

Understanding Secure Code & Cloud-Native Reviews
Secure code and cloud-native review finds vulnerabilities where they are cheapest to fix: in source, configuration, and infrastructure-as-code, before a release ships them to production. We combine manual expert review with tool-assisted analysis, because scanners are strong at breadth but weak at business logic, authorization flaws, and the subtle misuse of a framework that automated rules routinely miss. The result is fewer false alarms and more findings that actually matter.
The review spans application code, cloud configuration, and IaC (Terraform, CloudFormation, and similar) so that a hardened application is not undone by a permissive bucket policy or an over-scoped role. We reference OWASP Top 10 and OWASP ASVS for application risk, the NIST SSDF for secure development practice, and support SBOM generation to give you visibility into third-party and transitive dependency risk across the software supply chain.
Good secure development is not a gate at the end; it is guidance developers can act on inside their workflow. We deliver findings with clear reproduction steps, real impact, and concrete remediation written for the people who own the code, and we can map your program maturity against OWASP SAMM so improvements to process are as durable as the individual fixes.
Signs you may need this
What we cover
Inside a Secure Code & Cloud-Native Reviews engagement
Manual source code review
Expert reading of code paths for authorization, injection, secrets handling, and logic flaws that pattern-based scanners consistently miss.
Tool-assisted SAST and dependency analysis
We tune static analysis and dependency scanning to your stack, then triage results so developers see real issues, not noise.
Cloud-native configuration review
Assessment of IAM policies, network rules, storage exposure, and service settings against least privilege and provider best practice.
Infrastructure-as-code security
Review of Terraform, CloudFormation, and similar templates so insecure defaults are caught before they are deployed at scale.
SBOM and supply chain visibility
We generate a software bill of materials to surface vulnerable and transitive dependencies across your components.
Secrets and credential hygiene
We hunt for hardcoded keys, tokens, and credentials in code, config, and history, and advise on safer secret management.
OWASP ASVS and SSDF alignment
Findings and recommendations map to ASVS controls and NIST SSDF practices so coverage is measurable, not ad hoc.
Developer-ready remediation
Every finding includes reproduction, impact, and a fix written for the engineers who own the code.

Where this fits
Common situations we are called in for
Pre-release gate
A significant release is approaching and you want expert eyes on code and cloud config before it reaches production.
Rapid cloud-native growth
Your team is shipping fast on containers and managed services, and IAM and IaC sprawl have outpaced review.
Dependency risk exposure
A widely publicized dependency vulnerability has leadership asking what you actually run and where it is exposed.
Maturing the SDLC
You want to move security left and need a baseline of current code and pipeline security to build a program around.
