Application Security
Stop shipping the same class of bug twice.
We work alongside your engineers, threat modeling new features, reviewing architecture before it is built, embedding security checks into CI, and training the team so the next pentest finds less than the last one.
The context
Why this matters
A penetration test tells you what is broken now. Application security work changes what gets built next, which is the only thing that reduces findings over time.
We start with a threat model of the system you actually have, then work backwards into the development process: where security decisions are made, where they are skipped, and which automated checks would catch the recurring classes before review.
This works best as an ongoing relationship rather than a one-off. Teams that embed the practice see pentest finding counts drop engagement over engagement, which is exactly what a certification auditor wants to see as evidence of continual improvement.
What is covered
Scope of the engagement
- 01
Threat modeling
Structured threat modeling sessions on your architecture and on individual high-risk features, producing a documented model your team can maintain.
- 02
Secure architecture review
Design-stage review of new services, integrations and data flows, before implementation makes the decision expensive to change.
- 03
Secure SDLC integration
SAST, dependency scanning, secret detection and IaC scanning wired into CI with tuned rules, signal, not a wall of noise engineers learn to ignore.
- 04
Code review support
Targeted manual review of authentication, authorization, cryptography, and other security-critical paths in your codebase.
- 05
Developer security training
Practical sessions built around real findings from your own codebase, not generic OWASP slides. Doubles as ISO 27001 awareness evidence.
- 06
Security requirements & standards
Baseline security requirements and coding standards for your stack, written to be checkable in review rather than aspirational.
What you receive
Deliverables
Everything below is included in the fixed price. Nothing here is an upsell discovered halfway through.
- Documented threat model with prioritized mitigations
- Architecture review notes and design recommendations
- CI/CD security tooling configuration, tuned to reduce false positives
- Secure coding standard for your language and framework
- Recorded developer training sessions and attendance records
- Quarterly posture review against agreed metrics
Questions
Application Security FAQ
We write proof-of-concept fixes, CI configuration and example implementations, and we review your pull requests. We do not take ownership of feature delivery, your engineers own the codebase, and the goal is to leave them more capable than we found them.
Yes. Annex A 6.3 requires information security awareness, education and training. Developer sessions built on real findings from your own product satisfy it far more convincingly than a generic e-learning completion record, and we produce the attendance and content records auditors ask for.
