Find out whether your application is ready for real users
AI can help you turn an idea into working software quickly. A successful demo does not show whether one user can access another's files, what happens when something fails or how many external requests the application makes.
A review helps you decide what is needed before launch or further growth. We focus on your application and the impact on customers, data and day-to-day operations. PHP and Laravel web applications are our core expertise; for other technologies, we first check whether we can provide the help you need.
Checks that matter to your users
We examine how login, permissions and data processing are implemented. Can customers open only their own documents? Are administrator functions protected? Can someone repeat an expensive API request without limits?
Alongside the code, we review the hosting and storage settings included in the assessment. Application access checks do not protect files that are also available through public storage links.
- Access to accounts, customer data, files and administration features.
- Handling of input, API keys, dependencies and error messages.
- Limits on repeated requests and visibility into errors and usage.
Clear findings and help fixing problems
You receive an overview of the problems found, their consequences and what should be fixed first. Findings include supporting detail so you or your developer can act on them.
Want us to make the improvements? We provide a separate proposal and retest the changed behaviour. You can also use the review to have your current developer carry out specific fixes.
Review the application without disrupting daily work
We agree which parts to investigate and preferably test in a separate environment. This allows us to check failure scenarios without unnecessarily affecting real customer data or ongoing work.
The report shows what was checked and what was outside the assessment. A code and configuration review does not automatically provide certification or a full penetration test. If you need that type of assessment, we discuss the expertise and testing depth it requires.
What does a security review cost?
The price depends on the size of the application and the features being assessed. A single user role requires less investigation than a platform with several customer organisations, payments and private files.
Before work begins, you receive a proposal listing the checks, report and cost. Remediation is priced separately, so you can understand the condition of your application before deciding which improvements to commission.

Our development projects include access controls for customer documents and handling storage credentials. The cases below show those components. We use this development experience to investigate the code and configuration of your application during a review.
Frequently asked questions
Do you review other developers' work?
Yes. We review self-built software and projects from other agencies. You must be authorised to have the application assessed. We can also discuss findings with your developer.
Does the application have to be AI-built?
No. The same checks apply to hand-written code. We examine how the application works and protects data, regardless of how the code was produced.
Will I have to start again after the review?
That is not the starting point. We identify what can be kept and which problems can be fixed directly. If replacing a component makes more sense, we explain why.
Is my application guaranteed secure after a review?
No review can provide that guarantee. You do get insight into the components assessed, vulnerabilities found and recommended improvements. After remediation, we can check that the identified problems have been fixed.
