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 MFA?

Implement MFA for all user accounts, especially privileged ones Prefer authenticator apps or hardware keys over SMS Provide backup codes for account recovery Consider risk-based authentication for additional protection Educate users on the importance of MFA

What are examples of MFA?

Password + TOTP code from an authenticator app. Password + SMS verification code. Password + hardware security key (YubiKey). Password + biometric verification

What is MFA?

1 min read Updated 2026-02-05

Multi-Factor Authentication. A security method requiring two or more verification factors (something you know, have, or are) to access an account.

Understanding MFA

MFA significantly reduces the risk of account compromise by requiring multiple forms of verification. Even if an attacker obtains a password, they still need the second factor. TOTP apps, SMS codes, and hardware keys are common second factors, with hardware keys being the most secure.

Examples

Password + TOTP code from an authenticator app
Password + SMS verification code
Password + hardware security key (YubiKey)
Password + biometric verification

How to Prevent

Implement MFA for all user accounts, especially privileged ones
Prefer authenticator apps or hardware keys over SMS
Provide backup codes for account recovery
Consider risk-based authentication for additional protection
Educate users on the importance of MFA

Related Terms

Authentication

The process of verifying the identity of a user, device, or system. Common methods include passwords, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and OAuth.
