Source Code Review Services that Expose Hidden Vulnerabilities

Plutosec has planned and designed its Source Code Review Service as an advanced and integrated solution for tracing business logic vulnerabilities and remedial actions in an Application’s Code, architecture, and Proxy logic in business applications. Instead of catching business logic vulnerabilities only through a Vulnerability Scan, this Service Source Code Review includes Automated Static Code Analysis and other manual processes to determine the Application’s security posture.

As Secure Code Review Specialists, we Plutosec Omnes and Assimilate Secure Coding Reviews, which revolve around authentication and logic pertaining to data validation, cryptography, and any dependencies to determine the Software’s engineering vulnerabilities during the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC).

Unreleased security flaws, the cost and impact of which are detected early on, can be fixed easily.

Regular reviews reinforce secure coding practices, leading to enhanced reliability and efficiency in code development.

Secure code review, as recommended by OWASP, NIST, ISO 27001, and other industry frameworks.

Why Businesses Can’t Overlook Source Code Review

Streamline Quality Assurance (QA) Processes

Disorganized and complicated codes can render the part of the processes devoted to testing very inefficient. We work on your codebase and, through Secure Code Review Services, we improve the structure of your codebase so that the processes of your business become more predictable and faster. PlutoSec ensures that our class, functions, and APIs implementation complies to industry standards on secure development, so your QA does not have to debug poor structuring, focus on functionality, and construction. As a result, your business will be able to achieve increased reliability of the software in production environments. Also, faster release cycles and diminished costs of the testing will be of benefit.

Lack of Cryptography

The most sophisticated systems can be compromised using weak and outdated cryptographic devices. We assist your organization in moving from legacy cryptography that provides business and customer data protection across APIs, integrations, and to strong and modern encryption. PlutoSec Code Vulnerability Analysis will review your hashing, encryption, and key management policy, as well as your SSL/TLS implementations, to ensure that they comply with the latest standards from NIST and OWASP. With this approach, you will eliminate the risk of unauthorized data exposure. Cryptographic security will be present across your software ecosystem.

Proactive Approach to Bugs

Minimizing costs and delays can be achieved by capturing them early in development. Finding bugs, unsafe code, and configuration missteps before production is one aspect of our Software Security Assessment process. Addressing the security validation becomes part of the Agile Software Development methodology - the SDLC Remediation is done while development is still inexpensive. Longer maintenance, increased rework, and meeting compliance goals with clients' and customers' expectations for a clean, secure release, maintenance costs are streamlined.

Improve Return on Investment (ROI)

Financial losses are equivalent to every security incident that gets avoided. Covered through Source Code Review Services, expenses related to downtimes, post-breach recoveries, and rework on unnecessary patches are incurred. Integration of Secure SDLC to the Software Development Lifecycle eliminates redundant development, resulting in rationalized software and maximized ROI on development and cybersecurity resources.

Reduce Delivery Defects

Defects that remain agenda until the last stage are shown to reduce release rates and release stage customer confidence. In the early development stage, PlutoSec’s Secure Code Review Process implements buffered planning in order to lower Delivery Defect rates through external validation of control logic, code dependencies, and module linkage. Our clients receive clear, concrete, and relevant reports, enabling the development teams to rapidly resolve critical release dependencies, ensuring fast and secure project delivery without undue delays.

Insecure Data Storage

The common flaw of most modern-day applications is insecure, poorly encrypted, or unsecure data storage. Sensitive enterprise data may be compromised due to coded credentials, unguarded local storage, and sensitive business data invisibly visible during the unmonitored usage of the system, as captured in the Database Connection Review of PlutoSec. We determine whether their encryption and access permission interfaces and data lifecycle management have adequate measures to protect data within their ecosystem.

How do we ensure the Best Source Code Review Services experience?

Efficiency and accuracy are extremely important to PlutoSec. That is why every engagement we take on is streamlined and made as clear-cut as possible. Every engagement results in a valuable outcome for our clients. We work in tandem with the development team, which helps us gain important insight to help improve our onboarding and reporting processes. How do we go about our testing processes:

We take the time to have a clear understanding of the goals that the organization in question has. We try to understand if it is the optimization of the code that we are trying to achieve, security vulnerabilities of compliance issues, or the overall code improvement.

We focus on the assessment scope as well as the programming language that is being used, and the frameworks and repositories that are the main focus.

We used a combination of manual and automated code assessment to help uncover the vulnerabilities that are associated with the code that is being reviewed.

When the code is reviewed, we ensure that it complies with the OWASP and CERT, which are the standards in the matter.

At the conclusion of the testing phase, a detailed report is produced identifying each vulnerability, the corresponding value of the business impact, and loss prevention strategies.

To preserve the integrity of the code, our specialists offer additional guidance to improve the Secure Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC), which helps in eliminating any pending issues in future releases.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about our cybersecurity services and how we can protect your business.

1.What is a Source Code Review, and why is it important for businesses?

Considered one of the more specialized static application security testing techniques, a Source code review is the painstaking work of interrogating application source code for insecure coding practices, logic flaws, and code vulnerable to exploitation by an attacker. It is critical to businesses, as one of the primary means of breach prevention, in addition to compliance, and software security and resilience enhancement before software deployment.

2.How does a Source Code Review differ from Penetration Testing?

In a more superficial analogy, while the Penetration Test identifies potentially exploitable vulnerabilities from the point of view of an attacker on the outside of the system, the Source Code Review is more internal. It reveals hidden flaws in logic, insecure configurations, and handles the defenses more comprehensively than a Penetration Test, thus adding a deeper layer of security.

3.What types of vulnerabilities can a Source Code Review identify?

The source code review service identifies and assesses information risk at multiple levels of logic that includes injection, flawed primary capture, inappropriately weak defense mechanisms, and improper logical structuring of security, credentials, data, and attacks to circumvent the APIs in accordance with the OWASP Top 10 and other authorities.

4.How often should organizations perform Source Code Reviews?

As a rule, it is recommended that every major code change, including those in fixed release cycles, incorporate a code review as one of the steps. In the case of larger organizations or enterprises, scheduled reviews built into the Secure Software Development Lifecycle (SSDLC) ensure the continuous application of consistent security controls for all software releases from releases throughout all versions.

5.What are the Programming Languages and frameworks supported by PlutoSec?

The experts from PlutoSec work with various programming languages such as Java, .NET, Python, PHP, C and C++, JavaScript, Node, Ruby, and Go, as well as the major frameworks such as Spring, Django, Laravel, and React. Our method expands to include cloud, mobile, and enterprise-class solutions.

6.Can a Source Code Review assist with compliance needs?

Certainly, our reviews are compliant with the most relevant standards, including ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS, and GDPR. These reviews assist you in proving compliance readiness and safeguarding applications to align with compliance requirements in all relevant jurisdictions.

7.What is the methodology used by PlutoSec to perform a Source Code Review?

We use a combination of automated SAST tools and in-depth manual reviews by certified security engineers. This approach provides the most coverage from a hybrid perspective — including syntax-level weaknesses all the way to vulnerabilities in business logic and logic abuse.

8.What is the average duration of a Source Code Review?

The average duration of reviews is set to take 1 to 3 weeks. Core to the reviews are the parameters of the project, the stack of languages used, and the size of the codebase in question. The reviews are done as quickly as possible to stick within the timeline of the other ongoing development processes.

9.Will a Source Code Review have an impact on the performance and stability of my application?

No, reviews are done in an environment that is non-intrusive; they are done from copies of the code. As a result of our activities, your production systems are undisturbed as we carry out extensive analyses and provide recommendations that can be taken and easily implemented.

10.What outcomes arise after the review has been completed?

PlutoSec produces a comprehensive document that outlines every weakness, the corresponding risk assigned, and the suggested ways to counter the weakness. Our consultants additionally provide advice after the review to assist the in-house development team in addressing the identified weaknesses and adopting secure software development methodologies in upcoming releases.
