A source code review is an in-depth analysis of your application's actual code base. It involves both automated tools and hands-on manual inspection by security professionals. While tools can catch low-hanging fruit, manual analysis is critical for identifying logic errors, insecure design patterns, or business logic flaws that scanners cannot detect, a source code review allows us to inspect the blueprint of the application directly. This gives us complete visibility into how the application is constructed and where it may be vulnerable.
Every line of code that powers your software is a potential entry point for attackers if not written securely. In today's fast-moving digital landscape, where threats evolve by the day and applications are constantly changing, a proactive and thorough review of your source code is not just a best practice—it is a necessity.
Our Source Code Review service is designed to go beneath the surface. We do more than just run automated scans. We read, analyze and understand the logic behind your code, checking it line by line to identify security flaws, weak practices and hidden vulnerabilities. Whether your software is built in Java, .NET, Python, PHP, or any other language, we provide deep insights that help you strengthen its security posture from the ground up.
At ControlEra Technology, Our review process is structured but adaptable. We work closely with your development and security teams to ensure fthorough coverage without disrupting your workflow.
Here’s what the typical process looks like:
-
Scoping and planning
We align on which applications, modules, or codebases to review. We also discuss technologies used, deadlines and access protocols. -
Codebase access and environment setup
We get read-only access to your source code in a secure environment. No changes are ever made to your code during the review. -
Automated scanning and baseline checks
We start with automated tools to lag common vulnerabilities and quickly map the code structure. -
Manual review by security experts
Our team then conducts a detailed manual analysis, focusing on business logic, architectural patterns and real-world exploitability. -
Risk analysis and prioritization
We evaluate each finding based on severity, exploitability and impact—so you can focus on what matters most.
