Source Code Review Services
Security vulnerabilities introduced at the code level are the hardest to detect — and the most expensive to fix after deployment. GoAgile’s source code review combines automated scanning with deep manual analysis to identify security flaws, logic errors, and coding weaknesses before they reach production.
Source Code Review Methodology
Our review process combines automated static analysis with expert manual inspection — covering your entire codebase from authentication logic to third-party dependencies.
Scoping & Standards Review
Define the review scope, understand your architecture and technology stack, and establish the coding standards and security requirements your codebase should conform to.
What you receive: Scope document, technology stack profile, coding standards baseline, engagement rules of engagement.
Automated Static Analysis
Run industry-leading SAST tools across the full codebase to surface known vulnerability patterns — injection flaws, insecure deserialization, hardcoded credentials, and dependency vulnerabilities.
What you receive: Automated scan results, false positive triage, confirmed findings catalogue.
Manual Code Inspection
Expert analysts review security-critical code paths that automated tools miss — authentication logic, session management, cryptographic implementations, data validation, and business logic flaws.
What you receive: Manual review findings, logic flaw identification, risk-rated vulnerability list with code references.
Reporting & Remediation Support
Deliver a prioritised report covering all findings with line-level code references, remediation guidance, and secure coding recommendations — followed by a retest to verify fixes.
What you receive: Executive summary, technical findings report with code references, remediation roadmap, retest included.
Source Code Review Coverage
Static Analysis (SAST)
Automated static application security testing across your entire codebase — identifying known vulnerability patterns including injection flaws, insecure data handling, hardcoded secrets, and cryptographic weaknesses using industry-leading SAST tooling.
Manual Code Review
Expert-led manual inspection of security-critical code paths — covering authentication and authorisation logic, session management, input validation, error handling, and business logic flaws that automated tools consistently fail to detect.
Framework & Dependency Review
Evaluate the security posture of third-party libraries, open-source components, and frameworks in use — identifying known CVEs, outdated dependencies, and insecure configuration patterns that introduce risk into your application.
Reporting & Remediation
Every finding is documented with a line-level code reference, risk rating, and actionable remediation guidance written for developers. A structured remediation roadmap prioritises fixes by risk — and a retest confirms vulnerabilities are resolved before the engagement closes.
Tailored testing approaches
| Approach | What it simulates | Best suited for |
|---|---|---|
| Black Box | An external attacker with zero knowledge of the application's internals | External-facing apps, pre-launch assessments |
| Grey Box | A compromised insider or threat actor with partial access (credentials, architectural overview) | Post-authentication flows, privilege escalation testing |
| White Box | Full access to source code, architecture diagrams, and environment details | Deep-dive code review, CI/CD pipeline integration, maximum coverage |
Code reviewed the way developers and security teams both need.
Our source code review practice is built around one principle: findings must be actionable. Clear code references, developer-ready guidance, and a retest included as standard.
Human + Automated Coverage
We combine the speed of automated SAST scanning with expert manual review — catching both known vulnerability patterns and the nuanced logic flaws that only human analysts find.
Line-Level Findings
Every vulnerability is documented with a precise code reference, so developers know exactly what to fix — no vague findings, no generic recommendations.
Retest Included
We don’t close the engagement at the report. Once your team has addressed the findings, we retest to confirm vulnerabilities are resolved and your code is production-ready.
