What we review

Focused on the controls that change real product risk.

The exact evidence set is tailored during discovery. A typical engagement covers the areas below.

  • System context, data flows, assets, and trust boundaries
  • Authentication, authorization, and tenant isolation
  • API and service-to-service security
  • Secrets, encryption, key management, and sensitive data flows
  • Cloud, container, and Kubernetes security assumptions
  • Abuse cases, attack paths, compensating controls, and residual risk
Deliverables

A decision package — not a scanner export.

Recommendations are prioritized, contextualized, and structured so engineering and leadership can move from findings to action.
