Source code review and security verification
We read your code to find what outside testing can’t see: secrets, logic flaws, vulnerable dependencies and forgotten access checks.

Source code review and security verification
A penetration test sees the application from outside; a code review sees it from inside. Altea combines automated analysis (SAST, dependency analysis, secret scanning) with manual reading of sensitive parts: authentication, authorization, input handling, cryptography, payments, integrations. Verification follows the OWASP ASVS. We work with common web languages (JavaScript and TypeScript, Python, PHP, Java, C#, Go) and infrastructure as code.
What we install
- Static analysis (SAST) with manual validation
- Vulnerable dependencies and licences (SCA)
- Secrets and keys in code and Git history
- Authentication, sessions, authorization
- Input validation and output encoding
- Cryptography and password storage
- Infrastructure as code: Docker, Terraform, CI/CD pipelines
- Report by file and line, with a proposed fix
How a project runs
- Scoping: repositories, languages, sensitive areas
- Read access to code (copy or repository)
- Automated analysis and triage
- Manual review of critical areas
- Report, walkthrough with the team and re-verification

Frequently asked questions
Does our code stay confidential?
Yes: read-only access, a confidentiality agreement, and code is kept only for the duration of the engagement.
Code review or penetration test?
They complement each other. The review finds deep flaws and secrets; the pentest confirms what is actually exploitable. See our SAST, DAST and manual review comparison.
Can you add checks to our pipeline?
Yes, we can set up automated dependency and secret scanning in your CI/CD and train the team to triage alerts.
Do you review AI-generated code?
Yes. Code produced with AI assistants deserves the same review, especially for access control and input handling.
