Software Source Code Review

Software source code review is a process of evaluating and verifying the quality and security of the source code of a software application. The objective is to identify any potential issues or vulnerabilities that could negatively impact the software’s performance, security, and maintainability.

IT Security C&T’s approach to software source code review service is as follows

Identifying potential bugs and security vulnerabilities

By thoroughly examining the code, IT Security C&T can identify potential issues that may cause problems or compromise the security of the software.

Improving code quality

The review process helps identify areas of the code that could be improved in terms of readability, maintainability, and efficiency.

Adhering to coding standards

The review process ensures that the code is written in accordance with industry-standard coding practices and guidelines, making it easier to maintain and update over time.

Enhancing security

By identifying and fixing security vulnerabilities early in the development process, source code review services help to reduce the risk of security breaches and protect the software and its users.

Overall, the objective of software source code review services is to improve the quality, security, and reliability of the software application, while also promoting best practices in software development.

Approach

Phase 1

Phase 2

Phase 3

Phase 4

Preparation

Before starting the review, IT Security C&T should understand project requirements, the development process, and the goals of the review.

Planning

The review should be planned in advance, with clear objectives, timelines, and roles and responsibilities defined.

Reporting

After the review is complete, IT Security C&T should prepare a report that summarizes the results of the review, including any issues identified, recommendations for improvement.

Penetration testing

Simulating real-world attacks on the application to uncover any security weaknesses and identify potential vulnerabilities. This may include manual testing and automated testing using tools and techniques.

Deliverables

Executive Summary

Detailed Report

Vulnerability Evidence

Recommendations

Knowledge Transfer

A high-level overview of the results of the assessment, including a summary of the vulnerabilities found, their impact and severity, and a risk rating.

A comprehensive document that provides detailed information about the vulnerabilities found, including their descriptions, the evidence of their existence, and recommended remediation steps.

This may include screenshots, log files, and other forms of evidence that demonstrate the existence and impact of the vulnerabilities found.

A set of actionable recommendations for fixing the vulnerabilities found and improving the overall security posture of the web application.

Conduct presentation/discussion with the customer team to discuss the report findings, highlight severe vulnerabilities and major risks and discuss remediation priorities and putting an immediate plan for hardening target servers and applications.
