OWASP ASVS / CWE TOP 25 / OWASP SAMM ALIGNED
Code Security Assurance
Consulting-led SAST and SCA source code analysis - leveraging open-source, commercial, or customer-owned tooling to identify vulnerabilities at the earliest point in the software lifecycle.
Schedule Assessment → View Services ↓
Production vulnerabilities are cheapest to fix when found in code. Our consultants deliver Static Application Security Testing and Software Composition Analysis using your existing commercial scanners, our curated open-source toolchain, or a hybrid of both - providing expert-validated findings, remediation guidance, and programme-maturity recommendations aligned to OWASP SAMM and BSIMM.
01
CUSTOM RULES, MULTI-LANGUAGE, TAINT ANALYSIS
Static Application Security Testing
Source code and byte-code analysis using customer-owned, commercial, or open-source SAST engines.
•
Multi-engine scanning - Semgrep, SonarQube, Checkmarx, Fortify, or customer-preferred tooling
•
Custom rule authoring - organisation-specific patterns, banned APIs, and framework-aware detections
•
Taint & data-flow analysis - source-to-sink tracing across inter-procedural call chains
•
Language coverage - Java, .NET, Python, Go, JavaScript/TypeScript, Swift, Kotlin, and more
•
False-positive triage - manual validation of scanner output with exploit-path confirmation

DEPENDENCY RISK, LICENSE COMPLIANCE & VULNERABILITY MAPPING
Software Composition Analysis
Open-source dependency analysis for known vulnerabilities, licence risk, and transitive-dependency exposure.
•
Vulnerability scanning - NVD, OSV, and vendor advisory databases mapped to dependency trees
•
Transitive dependency mapping - deep graph resolution for indirect and phantom dependencies
•
Licence compliance - GPL, AGPL, and copyleft propagation risk across component hierarchies
•
Multi-ecosystem support - Maven, npm, PyPI, Go modules, NuGet, RubyGems, and container images
•
Exploitability context - reachability analysis to distinguish exploitable from dormant findings

CYCLONEDX, SPDX, SLSA & PROVENANCE VERIFICATION
SBOM & Supply Chain Integrity
Software bill-of-materials generation and supply-chain provenance verification across build artefacts.
•
SBOM generation - CycloneDX and SPDX-compliant inventories for source, container, and binary artefacts
•
Provenance attestation - SLSA-level build provenance, Sigstore signing, and in-toto layout verification
•
Dependency drift tracking - version-pinning enforcement and unreviewed-upgrade detection
•
Regulatory alignment - US EO 14028 and EU Cyber Resilience Act SBOM obligations
•
Artefact Integrity - hash verification, registry trust policies, and typosquat detection

OPEN-SOURCE, COMMERCIAL & CUSTOMER-OWNED TOOLING
Tool Strategy & Optimisation
Advisory on selecting, configuring, and tuning SAST and SCA toolchains for your technology stack.
•
Tool landscape assessment - evaluate existing scanner coverage, gaps, and overlap across SAST and SCA
•
Open-source curation - Semgrep, Trivy, Grype, OWASP Dependency-Check, and Bandit configuration
•
Commercial optimisation - Checkmarx, Fortify, Snyk, and Black Duck rule-tuning and noise reduction
•
Customer-tool enablement - leverage and harden scanners already deployed in your environment
•
Toolchain recommendation - fit-for-purpose selection based on language, ecosystem, and risk appetite
