How long does a security audit take?

Most audits are completed within 1-2 weeks, depending on the size and complexity of your codebase.

What tech stacks do you support?

We audit applications built with JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, Go, Ruby, PHP, and more. Whether you're using React, Next.js, Django, Rails, or any other framework—we've got you covered.

Is my code kept confidential?

Absolutely. We sign NDAs, use encrypted connections, and delete all access after the audit. Your code never leaves your repository—we only need read access.

How is this different from automated scanning?

Automated scanners catch common issues but miss business logic flaws, complex auth bypasses, and context-specific vulnerabilities. Our manual audits think like attackers and understand your unique application.

How do you prevent Data Breach?

Encrypt sensitive data at rest and in transit Implement least-privilege access controls Monitor and log access to sensitive data Conduct regular security audits Have an incident response plan ready Train employees on security awareness

What are examples of Data Breach?

Unauthorized access to a database containing user credentials. Accidental exposure of customer data through misconfigured cloud storage. Employee stealing sensitive data before leaving the company. Ransomware attack that exfiltrates data before encryption

Understanding Data Breach

Data breaches can occur through various means: hacking, insider threats, accidental exposure, or physical theft. The consequences include regulatory penalties (GDPR fines up to 4% of global revenue), legal liability, reputation damage, and loss of customer trust.

Examples

Unauthorized access to a database containing user credentials
Accidental exposure of customer data through misconfigured cloud storage
Employee stealing sensitive data before leaving the company
Ransomware attack that exfiltrates data before encryption

How to Prevent

Encrypt sensitive data at rest and in transit
Implement least-privilege access controls
Monitor and log access to sensitive data
Conduct regular security audits
Have an incident response plan ready
Train employees on security awareness

Related Terms

Encryption

The process of converting data into a coded format that can only be read with the correct decryption key. Essential for protecting data at rest and in transit.
