  • Integration with existing security infrastructure

Secure Code Review

Manual source code analysis following secure coding standards (OWASP, CWE) to identify vulnerabilities before deployment.

  • Manual code review for security vulnerabilities
  • Coverage of CWE and OWASP Code Review Guide categories
  • Language-specific analysis (Java, .NET, Python, Node.js, etc.)

AI/LLM Security Assessment

Security testing for AI and LLM applications covering prompt injection, data leakage, model manipulation, and AI API security.

  • Prompt injection and guardrail bypass testing
  • Agent security and tool use abuse analysis
  • AI API security and integration assessment

Four-Phase Project Delivery

PTES-aligned methodology with hands-on collaboration throughout

1. Scoping & Planning

We define objectives, rules of engagement, and success criteria together.

2. Execution & Analysis

Testing that combines our own tooling with hands-on manual analysis.

3. Reporting & Remediation

Detailed report with prioritized findings and step-by-step remediation guidance your team can act on.

4. Retesting & Verification

We retest all fixes to confirm they work and verify the security improvements.
