Source Code Security Assessment
Secure Your Code at the Core: Line by Line
Your source code is the blueprint of your software empire—innovative, intricate, and unfortunately, a hotspot for security oversights. From subtle logic errors to cryptographic missteps, unvetted code can invite breaches that erode trust and incur massive costs. Aevora’s Source Code Security Assessment flips the script.
We scrutinize your repositories with a hacker’s eye, conducting multiple automated scans with advanced tooling and crucially, combining manual expertise to discover critical vulnerabilities that would otherwise go undetected.

What is a Source Code Security Assessment?
A Source Code Security Assessment is a deep dive into your codebase—statically scanning for vulnerabilities without running the application. However, application runtime is good for dynamic validation of discovered vulnerabilities. We review languages like Python, Java, C++, or JS. Manual techniques are also utilized to find logical flaws that scanners will typically not pick up on. We hunt down all vulnerabilities, including those in the OWASP Top 10:
Our Methodology
At Aevora, we don’t do one-size-fits-all. Our penetration testing follows industry-leading frameworks like OWASP Web Security Testing Guide and NIST, tailored to your unique environment. Here’s how we deliver results:
- Scoping & Reconnaissance: We collaborate with you to map repositories, languages, and priorities with your team—ensuring zero disruption to your sprints or operations. Aevora operators will also perform passive reconnaissance during scoping to get a general intelligence perspective on the target web applications.
- Vulnerability Scanning & Enumeration: Automated tooling is used to statically analyze code. Some of the popular SAST tools used by Aevora can be found in the OWASP Source Code Analysis Tools. Manual triaging is performed to ensure accuracy in the report and our experienced operators also perform manual hunting to uncover the difficult to find issues.
- Exploitation & Proof-of-Concept : When a running application is provided and dynamic testing is in scope, we attempt controlled exploits to demonstrate real impact, from data exfiltration to privilege escalation. All findings include detailed steps for reproducing outcomes.
- Post-Exploitation Analysis : We don’t stop after a vulnerability is found. Instantly the question, “What is the worst thing that could happen?” gets asked. Aevora operators seek to chain vulnerabilities and move around the environment for additional access.
- Comprehensive Reporting & Remediation Guidance : You’ll receive a detailed report with executive summaries, technical findings, risk ratings (CVSS-scored), and step-by-step fix recommendations. Plus, we offer re-testing at a discount to verify remediations.
All of Aevora’s operators possess the highly coveted OSCP certification and we also have more application tailored certifications such as the GWAPT and BSCP. With Aevora you are getting the best and you can have confidence that every test is thorough, confidential, and compliant with standards like PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and GDPR.
Why Choose Aevora for Your Source Code Security Assessment?
In a sea of cybersecurity firms, Aevora stands out because we prioritize your success. Here’s what sets us apart:
- Adaptive and Capable: We have compromised a large variety of different web applications. Rather it is a small WordPress site, E-commerce, or online banking—we will find every angle and pry with precision and resilience. Aevora operators are required to remain knowledgeable on the latest security trends, tooling, techniques, and application security concepts.
- Rapid Turnaround: Most engagements are completed in 2-4 weeks. Importantly, we are flexible and are ready to work around the timelines that you require. Engagement length is primarily determined by the application size and Aevora’s testing schedule.
- Transparent Pricing: Starting at $5,000 per week for standard engagements. While scoping, we will analyze how many lines of code there are and complexity of the codebase. Both of these factors can fluctuate the service cost as every application is unique and built differently. We do not have hidden fees. Once you receive a quote, it accounts for everything from the kick-off call to the final out-brief where we share the report and discuss the technical narrative.
- Ongoing Partnership: Beyond the engagement, you will have access our threat intelligence feeds and quarterly health checks to stay ahead of emerging risks. This is completely free. We want to be your go-to experts year-round. We prioritize your success.
Who Benefits From Our Source Code Security Assessments?
This service is essential for:
Development and DevOps Teams: Identify and fix vulnerabilities early in the development lifecycle before they reach production. Our detailed reports help developers understand the root cause of issues, reducing technical debt and improving code quality. Even if the application is in a mature state, it always beneficial to get additional perspectives in new lenses. Not only will developers fix vulnerabilities, they will learn new secure coding concepts.
Security Teams: Augment your internal capabilities with an external perspective. Our assessments uncover blind spots, validate existing defenses, and provide actionable data to strengthen your organization’s security posture.
SaaS Providers and Tech Companies: Protect user data, maintain platform integrity, and avoid costly breaches. Regular application testing helps ensure your service remains secure, trusted, and compliant as your user base grows.
Heavily Regulated Industries: Meet strict compliance requirements such as PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and GDPR. Our penetration tests provide the necessary evidence and risk insights to satisfy auditors and regulators. If you have specific compliance requirements, be sure to let us know during scoping.
Companies Preparing for Funding, Acquisition, or Compliance Audits: Demonstrate a mature security posture to investors, acquirers, or auditors. A clean, professional penetration test report shows due diligence and builds confidence in your application’s security.
Businesses of All Sizes: Whether you’re a startup launching your first product or an enterprise managing a portfolio of applications, our application pen testing services scale to meet your needs and safeguard your business from evolving threats. Vulnerability scanners will not catch everything and in today’s cyber landscape, it is crucial to have a hardened environment. Protect your customers, data, reputation, and infrastructure.
