Build security into your code not around it.

Identify Risks Before They Go Live

90% of security breaches exploit known coding flaws. Yet, most vulnerabilities are introduced during development not after deployment.

Our secure code audits Melbourne service uncovers dangerous bugs, logic flaws, and insecure patterns in your application before they become a real-world risk. Whether you’re building a SaaS product, API, or internal tool we help you write software that’s secure by design.

Our Comprehensive
Audit Methodology

Phase 1: Discovery & Context Mapping

We begin by understanding your architecture, threat landscape, and compliance needs.

  • Review of business logic, frameworks, and programming languages
  • Assessment of data flow, third-party integrations, and authentication methods
  • Risk prioritization based on asset value and exposur

Phase 2: Static & Dynamic Analysis

We audit your source code and running applications using a combination of tools and manual reviews.

  • Code vulnerability scanning with SAST/DAST tools
  • Manual logic checks for business-specific flaws
  • OWASP Top 10 + CWE weaknesses covered

Phase 3: Findings, Fixes & Developer Enablement

We don’t just flag issues — we show you how to fix them.

  • Detailed remediation report with code-level examples
  • Developer workshop (optional) to teach secure coding practices
  • Retesting and sign-off after patches are applied

Audit Process Timeline

Step 1: Discovery & Setup (1–2 Business Days)

We align on goals, collect access to codebases or repositories, and identify key areas of concern. NDA signing and compliance context are confirmed.

Step 2: Code Audit & Analysis (3–10 Business Days)

Our team performs a hybrid audit using automated tools and manual code reviews. We examine security flaws, logic errors, and misconfigurations across the application stack.

Step 3: Reporting & Remediation (2–5 Business Days)
