What is Source Code Review
Secure Code Review at Cyberous focuses on analyzing source code to identify security vulnerabilities, logic flaws, and insecure coding practices before they lead to real-world attacks. Our approach reviews architecture, data flows, and coding patterns to uncover deeper risks that automated tools often miss. By aligning your application with secure coding standards, Cyberous helps prevent breaches, reduce development risks, and strengthen your overall software security posture.
Source Code Review Methodology
Requirement & Architecture Understanding
Cyberous begins by understanding the application’s architecture, technology stack, business logic, and critical functionalities. This helps us map attack surfaces and plan an effective, context-aware code review.
Automated Code Scanning
We use industry-leading automated scanners to quickly identify common vulnerabilities, insecure functions, bad patterns, and coding errors. This provides an initial baseline for deeper manual analysis.
Manual Secure Code Review
Cyberous performs a detailed manual inspection of the source code to detect logic flaws, insecure data flows, weak authentication, improper validation, hardcoded secrets, and vulnerabilities missed by automated tools.
Vulnerability Validation & Risk Prioritization
All findings are manually validated and mapped to standards like OWASP, SANS, and CERT. Each issue is assessed and prioritized based on severity, exploitability, and real-world business impact.
Reporting & Remediation Guidance
Cyberous delivers a clear, detailed report with vulnerability descriptions, affected code snippets, impact analysis, and actionable remediation steps. We guide development teams on secure coding best practices to prevent recurring issues.

Understanding the Code Environment
Cyberous begins by analyzing the application architecture, technology stack, and business logic to understand how the code functions and where security risks may exist.
Frequently Asked Questions
By analyzing the source code line-by-line, Secure Code Review uncovers hidden flaws, logic errors, and insecure coding patterns that attackers might exploit.
Typical issues include insecure input handling, weak authentication logic, unsafe data storage, hardcoded secrets, and improper error handling.
No. Even small applications can contain high-impact vulnerabilities. Reviewing code early helps prevent costly fixes and strengthens overall security.
Automated tools help detect basic issues, but manual review is essential for finding business-logic flaws and advanced vulnerabilities that scanners miss.
A review is recommended during major development cycles, before deployment, and after significant code changes or feature additions.
Yes. Cyberous offers detailed remediation steps, code-level recommendations, and secure coding best practices to help development teams fix issues effectively.
Limited reviews are possible, but full access ensures complete visibility, more accurate results, and deeper security analysis.
