Secure Code Review
Manual review by senior engineers focused on auth, authorization, input handling, and the boundaries scanners can't reach. Findings come with code-level remediation, not just CWE numbers.

Build-time security
Application Security
SAST, DAST, secure code review and threat modeling embedded in your CI/CD. Vulnerabilities surface as pull-request comments — fixed by the engineer who wrote them, before the merge — not as a quarterly audit deck.
How it works
From assessment to continuous coverage
- Discovery — Stack inventory, control map, threat-model workshop. Two weeks to a documented baseline.
- Hardening — Quick-wins shipped immediately. Pen test runs in parallel. SOC onboarding starts.
- Operate — 24×7 monitoring live. Incident-response retainer active. Weekly hygiene reports.
- Mature — Quarterly retests, tabletop exercises, compliance evidence rolling forward continuously.
What's covered
Application Security capabilities
Every capability is delivered as part of one managed program — scoped to your business, executed by our partner network, and managed by your Katalor security lead. One contract, one point of contact, one report.
Application Security Testing (AST)
SAST, DAST and IAST tooling integrated into your CI/CD pipeline. Findings open as pull-request comments on the change that introduced them, before they reach main.
Tags: SAST, DAST
API Security Testing
OWASP API Top 10 testing for REST and GraphQL surfaces. Authentication boundary checks, mass-assignment, BOLA, rate limiting — the categories scanners miss because the spec doesn't capture intent.
Tags: API, OWASP
Threat Modeling
STRIDE-based threat modeling on architecture changes, before they ship. Identifies design-level risks no scanner can detect — trust boundaries, data flow, blast-radius assumptions.

Security Architecture Review
Architecture-level review of new services and major refactors. Identity, data classification, network exposure, secret management — caught at design time when changing the diagram is still cheap.
App Security Assessment
Point-in-time assessment of a target application — code, infrastructure, dependencies. Combines SAST, DAST and manual review into one report with a prioritized remediation plan.
How this fits your engagement
Application Security in context
For small business
In the Pulse Check or Monthly Retainer
In the Pulse Check, application security is a focused review of your primary web app — secure code review on auth and authorization paths plus OWASP-aligned scanning. Monthly Retainer adds release-gated SAST/DAST integration.
For mid-market & enterprise
In an Assessment, Project, or Retained engagement
In Project or Retained engagements, AppSec covers the full SDLC — SAST/DAST/SCA in your CI/CD pipeline, threat modeling on architecture changes, secure code review on every major release, and API security testing across your service surface. Findings flow as PR comments and severity-mapped tickets.
