- Application Stack/Code Review

The Vulnerability Isn't in the Network. It's in the Code You Shipped Last Sprint.

We review your application source code and technology stack for insecure coding patterns, logic flaws, and outdated dependencies that penetration testing alone can miss, catching problems while they’re still cheap to fix.

What We Cover
- Industries We Serve

Application Stack/Code Review Built Around Your Sector

The coding risks worth prioritizing shift by what your application actually handles, and a flaw in a banking app’s transaction logic carries very different consequences than the same flaw in a retailer’s product catalog page.

We scope code review around the specific application logic your business depends on most.

Finance

We review financial application code for logic flaws that could allow transaction manipulation or unauthorized fund transfers.

Healthcare

We review healthcare application code handling patient data for insecure storage and access control flaws.

Legal

We review legal platform code that manages case files for flaws that could expose privileged client information.

Retail & E-Commerce

We review e-commerce application code for logic flaws in pricing, checkout, and payment processing.

- Why AWJ Tech

What Our Application Stack and Code Review Service Delivers

Application stack and code review from AWJ Tech catches what a penetration test alone might not.

01

Manual Code Review

Experienced reviewers read through your code by hand, catching logic flaws automated scanners miss entirely.

02

Static Analysis Tooling

We run static analysis tools across your codebase to flag common insecure coding patterns quickly.

03

Dependency and Library Auditing

We identify outdated or vulnerable third-party libraries your application quietly depends on.

04

Business Logic Flaw Detection

We look for flaws in how your application handles pricing, permissions, and workflow, not just technical bugs.

05

Technology Stack Configuration Review

We review the frameworks, servers, and configurations your application runs on for common misconfigurations.

06

Developer-Ready Findings

Every finding names the exact file and line, so your developers can fix it without a translation step.

07

Secure Coding Guidance

We provide practical secure coding recommendations your development team can apply going forward.

08

Reduced Technical Debt Risk

Identifying insecure patterns early prevents them from being copied across your codebase as it grows.

09

Compliance-Ready Documentation

Findings are documented to support ISO 27001 and PCI DSS application security requirements.

A Penetration Test Finds What's Exposed.
It Doesn't Always Find What's Wrong With the Code Itself.

AWJ Tech Reviews the Source, Not Just the Surface

Some of the most damaging application flaws, like broken authorization logic or a hardcoded credential, never show up in a black-box test because nothing on the outside triggers them. AWJ Tech reviews the actual source code, so these flaws get caught before they reach production.

What Clients Ask About
Application Stack and Code Review

Yes. Read access to the relevant repositories is required for a thorough code review, and access can be scoped narrowly to what's needed.

Penetration testing probes your application from the outside. Code review examines the actual source, catching logic flaws and issues that never surface in black-box testing.

We review most common languages and frameworks used in business applications, and confirm coverage for your specific stack during scoping.

Reviews can be scheduled around your release cycle or built into it, depending on how frequently you want reviews performed.
Yes. Dependency and library auditing is a core part of the review, since vulnerabilities often hide in code you didn't write.
Yes. Findings are documented to support ISO 27001 and PCI DSS application security requirements.

The Flaws Worth Finding Are the Ones Testing Alone Won't Catch

Most security budgets go toward testing the outside of an application, leaving the code itself unreviewed.
