Secure Source Code Review
Line-by-line review of your source by OSCP/OSWE-trained reviewers, paired with commercial SAST and SCA tooling. Covers Java, .NET, Node.js, Python, Go, PHP, Ruby, Swift and Kotlin — mapped to OWASP Top 10, SANS Top 25 and the CWE taxonomy your auditor expects.

What is secure code review?
Secure code review manually inspects your application's source code to find vulnerabilities black-box testing misses — hardcoded secrets, injection sinks, broken authorization, and unsafe crypto. Macksofy combines expert manual review with SAST, mapping findings to OWASP ASVS and CWE risk, for BFSI and SaaS across India.
A Code Review engagement, in plain language.
We don't ship a Semgrep dump with our logo on the cover. A typical engagement starts with a dependency graph and SBOM, builds a SAST baseline across the codebase, then a senior reviewer spends 60–70% of the engagement on manual deep-dives in the spots tools miss: authentication and session handling, crypto, deserialization, business-logic authorization, file handling and race conditions. Every finding ships with the exact file:line, a runnable PoC, the secure-coding pattern to replace it with, and a CI rule to prevent regression.
- Catch flaws at SDLC stage where remediation costs ~10× less than post-prod
- Satisfy CERT-In, RBI IT Governance, SEBI CSCRF, ISO 27001 A.14 and SOC 2 SDLC controls
- De-risk pre-launch releases and M&A code due diligence (SBOM + risk inventory)
- Reduce production CVSS exposure surface before a public push
- Train your dev team on secure-by-default patterns via the walkthrough handoff
Phased delivery — every step documented.

1 · Pre-engagement & scope
- Mutual NDA + source-handling agreement (on-prem review or read-only repo grant)
- Language + framework inventory, third-party dependency list
- Crown-jewel module identification (auth, payments, PII handling, admin)
- Branch / tag pin so the review is reproducible
Industry-standard + custom.
We use the same tooling top BFSI red teams operate — combined with Macksofy in-house extensions and proprietary scripts where commercial tools fall short.

Anonymized engagement snapshots.
Scope · Customer-facing Java / Spring Boot monolith, ~340 KLOC
Finding: 7 hardcoded JWT secrets across env profiles + 3 second-order SQLi in admin module surfaced via Semgrep custom rules and confirmed manually
Critical — pre-prod fix shipped before public launch; saved estimated ₹3 Cr breach-cost exposure
Scope · Node.js + Python microservices (12 services, ~180 KLOC)
Finding: Insecure Jackson deserialization → RCE in 2 microservices, traced via CodeQL taint analysis from REST handlers to ObjectMapper.readValue
Critical — patched in 5 working days; HIPAA-aligned customer notification avoided
Scope · .NET 6 portal + Python report-generation service
Finding: SSRF in PDF generation library (chained Server-Side request → internal metadata service) and IDOR across 4 admin endpoints
High — disclosed to internal SOC; remediated under CERT-In coordinated disclosure
Every codebase is different. So is every quote.
Source review pricing depends on KLOC, language mix and crown-jewel module count — not a fixed tier. Share your stack and we'll send a fixed-price proposal within 48 hours, NDA-first.

“We've worked with three Big 4 firms before Macksofy. None found what their team did in our payments stack. The most actionable report we've received in a decade.”
“The CHFI training Macksofy delivered for our cyber cell raised investigation quality measurably. Practical, India-context-aware, and respectful of our operational realities.”
“Came in with zero security background. 5 weeks later I was running Burp Suite and Metasploit confidently. Cleared CEH on the first attempt.”
