What is included in code review services?
A security code review examines your application source code to identify vulnerabilities before they reach production. Vynox Security reviews authentication, authorization, input handling, cryptography, secrets, dependencies, and business logic. For AI products, the review also covers prompt construction, RAG access-control logic, agent tool definitions, and model input/output validation.
How is source code review different from penetration testing?
Code review finds security flaws directly in the codebase, including issues that may not be reachable during black-box testing. Penetration testing validates what an attacker can exploit in a running environment. Vynox Security often treats them as complementary: code review identifies root causes early, while pentesting confirms real-world exploitability and impact.
How does code review help detect bugs faster?
Code review can detect bugs faster because it identifies vulnerable patterns at the implementation level, before deployment or external testing. Instead of waiting for a scanner or attacker-facing test to trigger a weakness, reviewers inspect the actual control flow, file locations, dependency usage, and security assumptions that create the bug.
What types of applications can Vynox Security review?
Vynox Security reviews standard SaaS and product code as well as AI-native implementations. Coverage includes web applications, APIs, AI features, RAG systems, autonomous agents, prompt templates, function-call logic, retrieval authorization, secrets handling, and dependency risk. The engagement is scoped around your repository structure, release goals, and highest-risk components.
What does a code review report include?
Every finding includes the affected file and line where applicable, reproduction context, security impact, and developer-ready remediation guidance. Reports are written for both engineering teams and leadership, with enough technical detail to fix issues efficiently and enough business context to support prioritization, compliance discussions, and customer security reviews.
Can code review support SOC 2 or ISO 27001 evidence?
Yes. Vynox Security can map findings to SOC 2, ISO 27001, and AI-specific control evidence where relevant. The report can help demonstrate independent security testing and secure development practices, especially when an auditor, enterprise prospect, or customer questionnaire asks for proof that the codebase has been reviewed.
When should we schedule a secure code review?
The best time is before a major release, audit cycle, enterprise customer review, or production launch of a new AI feature. It is especially valuable when adding authentication changes, role-based access, payment flows, RAG retrieval logic, agent tool access, or sensitive data handling that could create high-impact vulnerabilities.
How do we start a code review engagement?
A discovery call helps define repository scope, high-risk components, timelines, and whether Rapid Secure or Deep Secure is the right fit. Vynox Security can also provide a sample report upon request, so your team understands the deliverable format before committing to the engagement.
