Is a code review a fit for your business?

Code Review

Working on improving software quality or strengthening security? Then you want to be sure your applications are free of vulnerabilities and inefficiencies. With a code review we run a thorough analysis of your source code, applying the latest security standards and best practices.

We check your code for potential weak spots, inefficiencies and deviations from best practices, so vulnerabilities are found and fixed in time. This way your software isn't just up to industry standards, it's genuinely secure and reliable.

[ 01 ]What is code reviewing?

What is code reviewing?

A code review is a process in which the source code of a software application is carefully examined by external experts. It goes beyond just hunting for bugs; it's also about improving the quality, efficiency and security of the code.

What we check

During a code review, the code is examined with a fresh eye to spot vulnerabilities, bugs, inefficiencies or unwanted patterns. Code review is an important part of the development process because it helps raise the overall quality of software, reduce risk and prevent security holes, before the software ever goes live.

Why it's valuable

Code review is an important process for identifying flaws and vulnerabilities in your software at an early stage. It helps ensure the code meets current best practices and security standards, resulting in a sturdier and more secure application. That translates into long-term savings in both time and cost.

Kevin van den Eshof

Many companies only have their software tested functionally, not for security. A vulnerability lurking in the source code is only found once an attacker has already found it first, that's exactly what we want to prevent.

I've capped off 5+ years of experience as an ethical hacker with an OSCP, OSED, OSWE, OSEP & OSCE3 certification. During a code review I use that same mindset as during a pentest: where would I, as an attacker, exploit this?

Frequently asked code review questions

What is the difference between a code review and a penetration test?
A code review focuses on reviewing the source code to identify security vulnerabilities and bugs before the application goes live. A penetration test simulates a real cyberattack to test vulnerabilities in an organization's infrastructure and applications.
What are the benefits of a code review for the security of my software?
A code review helps to identify, at an early stage, deep-rooted security vulnerabilities that might be overlooked in a black box pentest, such as SQL injections and cross-site scripting (XSS). By fixing these vulnerabilities before the code goes live, you reduce the risk of cyberattacks and data breaches.
For which organizations is code reviewing valuable?
Code reviewing is valuable for any organization that develops software, from small startups to large enterprises. It's especially useful for development teams that want to safeguard the quality, security and maintainability of their code. Whether you're developing a new application, maintaining existing software or meeting specific compliance requirements, code reviews help identify and address vulnerabilities in time.
