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 TLS?

Use TLS 1.2 or 1.3 only (disable older versions) Use strong cipher suites Implement certificate pinning for mobile apps Keep certificates valid and properly configured Use HSTS to enforce HTTPS

What are examples of TLS?

HTTPS websites using TLS for encryption. Secure email transmission (STARTTLS). VPN connections. Database connections over TLS

What is TLS?

1 min read Updated 2026-02-05

Transport Layer Security. A cryptographic protocol that provides secure communication over networks. The successor to SSL and the backbone of HTTPS.

Understanding TLS

TLS encrypts data in transit between client and server, preventing eavesdropping and tampering. It uses asymmetric cryptography for key exchange and symmetric cryptography for data encryption. TLS 1.3 is the current version, with improved security and performance.

Examples

HTTPS websites using TLS for encryption
Secure email transmission (STARTTLS)
VPN connections
Database connections over TLS

How to Prevent

Use TLS 1.2 or 1.3 only (disable older versions)
Use strong cipher suites
Implement certificate pinning for mobile apps
Keep certificates valid and properly configured
Use HSTS to enforce HTTPS

Related Terms

HTTPS

HTTP Secure. The encrypted version of HTTP using TLS. All modern web applications should use HTTPS to protect data in transit between client and server.

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.
