An outdated library can be enough
Much of an application is built on external libraries, in which known vulnerabilities are discovered regularly.
An outdated dependency is a risk even if your own code is flawless.
Source code review
How secure is the code your business relies on?
We review your source code and show which flaws would become exploitable vulnerabilities in production – while fixing them is still quick and cheap.
Business risk
Security issues often begin long before deployment.
Source code weaknesses can remain invisible until they become real application vulnerabilities. If security is not reviewed early, flaws in authentication, authorisation, data handling or dependency usage introduce avoidable risk into the final product.
Automated analysis alone is not enough
Static code analysis quickly flags common flaws, but it does not replace manual review.
Uncovering complex flaws in authorisation, authentication and business logic takes expert analysis.
Flaws found late cost more
The later a code-level flaw is discovered, the more work and cost it takes to fix.
Early review reduces the effort of fixes and redesign, as well as later business risk.
For every finding we give the exact code location, its severity (CVSS) and how to fix it, so developers can get started right away. Results are also available on the Whiteshield online platform.

How we review your source code in real-world conditions.
A structured methodology that combines static analysis, manual review, runtime observation and focused vulnerability discovery. The goal is not only to find common defects, but to assess whether the code is secure in practice and resilient against real misuse.
