Application Security (AppSec)

Application security from requirements to final validation

We build security into your development lifecycle: our work can start before implementation and continue through the pentest and the retest of fixes.

Assess your application's security See how we work

When it makes sense

  • An upcoming launch, audit or certification
  • A pentest required by a customer, partner or regulator
  • A recent security incident or critical vulnerability
  • Entering a regulated market or handling sensitive data
  • No in-house application security specialists

What you get

  • Findings backed by technical evidence and severity
  • Clear, prioritized and actionable recommendations
  • Executive summary for managers and auditors
  • Specialist support during remediation
  • Retest to confirm what has been fixed

Application Security services

Each service can be engaged on its own or combined into an ongoing secure development program.

Penetration testing (pentest)

A controlled simulation of attacks against web and mobile applications and APIs to find exploitable vulnerabilities before others do.

Challenge

Authentication, authorization and business logic flaws that only surface from an offensive perspective.

Approach

Agreed scope and rules of engagement, manual testing supported by tooling and recognized references such as OWASP WSTG and ASVS.

Deliverables

Technical report with evidence, severity and reproduction steps, plus an executive summary.

Expected outcome

Real risks prioritized and a clear path to remediation and retest.

Static and dynamic analysis (SAST and DAST)

SAST analyzes source code without running it; DAST tests the running application. Together they extend coverage continuously.

Challenge

Known vulnerabilities and bad practices reaching the repository and production undetected.

Approach

Tool selection and configuration, CI/CD pipeline integration and expert triage to reduce false positives.

Deliverables

Configured pipeline, context-tuned rules and a triaged findings report.

Expected outcome

Continuous, early detection with less noise for the team.

Secure code review

Specialist analysis of the highest-risk code paths: authentication, authorization, input validation, cryptography and integrations.

Challenge

Logic and access control flaws that automated tools miss.

Approach

Risk-driven manual review, supported by automated analysis and aligned with the system architecture.

Deliverables

Findings with the code excerpt, impact and recommended fix.

Expected outcome

More secure code and a team ready to avoid the same patterns.

Threat modeling

A structured analysis of the solution design to anticipate how it could be attacked and which controls are needed.

Challenge

Architecture decisions made without considering abuse, fraud and data exposure.

Approach

Workshops with your team, data flow diagrams and techniques such as STRIDE to map threats and controls.

Deliverables

A documented threat model and a prioritized list of controls.

Expected outcome

Risks addressed at design time, when fixes cost less.

Security requirements definition

Verifiable security requirements from the outset, aligned with the business and with obligations such as Brazil's LGPD.

Challenge

Vague or missing requirements that cause rework and gaps in delivery.

Approach

Elicitation with product and engineering, based on references such as OWASP ASVS and your industry's requirements.

Deliverables

Security requirements and acceptance criteria ready for the backlog.

Expected outcome

Security built into planning, not patched on at the end.

Secure development and DevSecOps training

Hands-on training for developers and leads. DevSecOps is the practice of integrating security into the development and delivery workflow.

Challenge

The same kinds of vulnerabilities coming back every cycle.

Approach

Tailored content, examples based on the team's stack and practical exercises.

Deliverables

Training track, supporting materials and day-to-day checklists.

Expected outcome

Greater technical maturity and autonomy for the team.

Remediation support and retest

We support your team while fixing the vulnerabilities found and validate that they have actually been resolved.

Challenge

Reports that point out problems but don't help fix them.

Approach

Technical sessions with developers, remediation guidance and retesting of the addressed items.

Deliverables

Retest report with the status of each vulnerability.

Expected outcome

Evidence of remediation for auditors, customers and management.
