    Source Code Review Testing

     Info
    Source Code Review is a security testing process where our experts analyze your application’s source code both manually and using automated tools to uncover hidden vulnerabilities, insecure coding practices, and AWS-specific security gaps such as improper handling of AWS SDKs or IAM integrations. This process helps ensure secure development, reduce cyberattack risks, and meet compliance requirements for applications running on or integrated with AWS cloud services.

    Overview

    Source Code Review Testing is the process of analyzing an application's underlying source code to identify security vulnerabilities, logic flaws, and insecure coding patterns that attackers could exploit. This includes a deep examination of codebases for web, mobile, and desktop applications, as well as cloud-integrated systems particularly those using AWS SDKs, APIs, and managed services.

    Traditional security testing may miss issues embedded within the code, such as:

    • Hardcoded AWS access keys or secrets
    • Improper handling of AWS IAM roles and permissions
    • Insecure configurations when interacting with services like S3, Lambda, DynamoDB, or API Gateway
    • Weak encryption or misconfigured KMS integration
    • Unsanitized user input leading to injection vulnerabilities in Lambda-backed APIs

    Given the growing reliance on cloud-native applications and serverless architectures in AWS, source code review ensures that security is built into the development process from the start. This includes analyzing how your application interacts with AWS services, ensuring secure API calls, appropriate permission scoping, and the avoidance of anti-patterns that can lead to privilege escalation or data exposure.

    Our approach combines:

    • Automated static code analysis tools to quickly scan large codebases
    • Manual expert reviews to assess logic, architecture, and AWS-specific implementation flaws

    We follow secure coding standards and best practices based on:

    • OWASP Secure Coding Practices
    • CERT Coding Standards
    • AWS Well-Architected Framework (Security Pillar)
    • Compliance frameworks like PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and CIS AWS Benchmarks

    By conducting thorough source code reviews especially for applications hosted in or integrated with AWS organizations can:

    • Identify critical security issues early in the SDLC
    • Improve code quality and resilience
    • Ensure secure cloud interactions
    • Meet compliance and audit readiness
    • Reduce long-term security and remediation costs

    This proactive review helps your development and DevSecOps teams build robust, cloud-secure applications from the ground up.

    Highlights

    • Identifies hidden issues like hardcoded credentials, insecure APIs, weak encryption, and logic flaws often missed in traditional testing.
    • Uses both manual and automated review to enforce secure coding and reduce vulnerabilities before deployment.
    • Follows OWASP, PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR and compliance standards to secure web, mobile, and desktop applications effectively.
