Secure Code Review Services

A code review examines your application's source code to find vulnerabilities at the implementation level, before the application runs. Penetration testing attacks your live, running application to find exploitable weaknesses. Code reviews catch issues like hardcoded secrets, insecure cryptography, and logic flaws that are difficult to detect externally. Pentests find configuration issues, authentication bypasses, and runtime vulnerabilities. For maximum security coverage, we recommend combining both approaches in a hybrid assessment.

Yes. Many organizations come to us after their applications are deployed. While it's ideal to review code during development, production code reviews are extremely valuable. We identify vulnerabilities before attackers do, provide prioritized remediation guidance, and can validate fixes without disrupting your live environment. We also offer ongoing code review services that integrate with your update cycles.

We take confidentiality extremely seriously. All Raxis team members sign strict NDAs before any engagement. Your source code is stored in encrypted, access-controlled environments and deleted after the engagement concludes per our retention policy. We're happy to work within your security requirements, including air-gapped environments, on-premise reviews, or your preferred secure file transfer methods. Our team is U.S.-based, and we can accommodate additional compliance requirements.

We handle codebases of all sizes, from small microservices with a few thousand lines to enterprise applications with millions of lines of code. For larger codebases, we use a risk-based approach, focusing manual review efforts on security-critical components like authentication, authorization, payment processing, and data handling while using AI and automation to scan the entire codebase. We'll work with you during scoping to determine the most effective approach for your application.

We go beyond just identifying issues. Every finding includes detailed remediation guidance with secure code examples, best practice recommendations, and specific steps to resolve the vulnerability. Our reports show exactly where the issue exists (file and line number) and how to fix it properly. After you implement fixes, we perform complimentary retesting to validate the vulnerabilities are resolved. You also get direct access to our testing team for questions during remediation.

Pricing varies based on several factors: codebase size (lines of code), application complexity, number of programming languages, review depth required, and timeline. As a guideline, we offer three tiers: Baseline (automated + validation), Targeted (focused manual review of critical areas), and Comprehensive (full manual review with threat modeling). We'll work with you to customize our approach to your needs and budget. Most reviews range from $5,000 to $50,000+. Contact us for a customized quote based on your specific application and security requirements.

Absolutely. Software Composition Analysis (SCA) is a key part of our code review process. We identify all open-source components, check for known CVEs, verify license compliance, and assess whether libraries are outdated or deprecated. We also review how your code integrates with these libraries, many vulnerabilities occur at the integration points. If you're using vendor code or contractor-developed components, we can review those as well.

If we discover critical security issues, especially those that pose immediate risk, we alert you immediately, not just in the final report. This allows your team to implement emergency patches if needed. We prioritize findings using CVSS scoring and business impact assessment, so you know exactly which vulnerabilities to address first. For critical findings, we can provide expedited remediation consultations and fast-track retesting once fixes are deployed.

Automated tools and AI assistants like GitHub Copilot can catch common vulnerability patterns, but they miss context-specific logic flaws, business logic vulnerabilities, and complex attack chains. Our penetration testers think like real attackers, we understand how vulnerabilities are actually exploited and can identify issues that require understanding your application's purpose, data flow, and threat model. We use AI to enhance our process, but experienced human experts validate every finding and discover what automation misses. Plus, we provide proof-of-concept exploits showing exactly how attackers would leverage the vulnerabilities.

Yes. We offer ongoing code review services that integrate directly into your development workflow. Using our Raxis Attack PTaaS platform, we can automatically trigger security reviews when code is committed, provide real-time feedback to developers, and block deployments if critical vulnerabilities are detected. This "shift-left" approach catches security issues immediately rather than discovering them weeks later. We support integration with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, and other common platforms. Contact us to learn more and discuss how we can customize our integration for you.
