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.

What are examples of Security Audit?

Manual code review for security vulnerabilities. Architecture review of authentication systems. Compliance audits for PCI-DSS or SOC 2. Third-party security assessments before acquisition

What is Security Audit?

1 min read Updated 2026-02-05

A comprehensive assessment of an application's security posture, including code review, architecture analysis, and vulnerability identification.

Understanding Security Audit

Security audits combine automated scanning with manual expert review. They examine code quality, architecture decisions, authentication/authorization mechanisms, data handling, and compliance requirements. Results include identified vulnerabilities, risk ratings, and remediation guidance.

Examples

Manual code review for security vulnerabilities
Architecture review of authentication systems
Compliance audits for PCI-DSS or SOC 2
Third-party security assessments before acquisition

Penetration Testing

An authorized simulated attack on a system to evaluate its security. Penetration testers (pentesters) attempt to exploit vulnerabilities to assess risk.

Vulnerability Assessment

The process of identifying, quantifying, and prioritizing vulnerabilities in a system. Often uses automated scanning tools combined with manual review.
