Application Security
Find application security gaps before launch or customer review.
A new API, tenant model or sensitive workflow can make yesterday’s security review obsolete. Wavect reviews the design and code behind the change so your team knows what to fix before it ships.
DIRECT ANSWER
An application security review examines how an app protects data and controls access. Wavect reviews agreed architecture, source code and controls for web apps and APIs, then provides prioritized findings and can verify agreed fixes.
Best for
- SaaS teams shipping new roles, APIs or tenant boundaries
- Product teams gathering evidence for an enterprise customer security review
Consider another approach
- Commissioning an authorized penetration test of a running application
Which parts of the application should you review first?
Start with the workflows where a mistake could expose customer data or grant the wrong person access. Common review areas include sign-in and account recovery, roles and tenant isolation, sensitive API actions, and how data moves across service boundaries.
What does secure code review cover?
We map data flows and trust boundaries, review the corresponding code and tests, and document the controls we checked. For web apps and APIs we can use selected requirements from the OWASP Application Security Verification Standard to agree coverage and evidence with your team.
What does your team get back?
A record of the version reviewed and its limits, a risk-ranked backlog tied to business impact, and acceptance checks for fixes. If implementation or a follow-up review is in scope, we record which changes were verified and what remains open.
How does a security finding become a release decision?
Illustrative example. A new export feature has an unresolved question about which account roles may access customer data. The team agrees the access rules, assigns an owner and records the verification required before the release can proceed.
Which security engagement fits your situation?
Choose Penetration Testing for a separately authorized assessment of a running system. Choose DevSecOps for CI/CD and release controls, Cloud Security for runtime infrastructure, or AI Security for agents and AI data access.
Questions before you start
The report documents the controls reviewed, coverage limits and open risks. Use it to support a customer conversation or a separate assurance process.
Usually we can start with repository access, a design walkthrough and a representative test environment with synthetic accounts and data. We agree access and handling before work starts.
Agree report recipients and disclosure before the review. We can prepare a summary of the covered controls, outstanding items and verified fixes for the agreed audience.
Yes, when follow-up is included in the scope. We record the version, fixes checked and any remaining limitations.
Scope an application security review
Share the application type, workflows and deadline. Keep source, credentials and customer data out of the initial enquiry.
