Xiarch Source Code Review is a professional service that performs systematic examination of application source code to identify security vulnerabilities, bugs, and design flaws. The service analyzes code files to detect security loop holes that may have been planted or remained unchecked during software development. The review process begins with meetings between the security team and the software engineering and product teams to understand the coding process. Code writers provide information about security-related aspects of the application design. The service then develops a code review plan and identifies compromising records within the code and poor coding practices that could enable attackers to gain unauthorized access. The service uses both automated and manual techniques for code auditing. Automated tools including Checkmarx and Fortify are employed to scan large code-bases for vulnerabilities. Manual analysis focuses on security-specific modules such as encryption and authorization implementations, as well as business logic issues. The assessment methodology follows a structured approach including scope definition, information gathering, enumeration, attack and penetration testing, reporting, and remediation discussion. The final deliverable includes a detailed security evaluation report with remediation steps, security certificate after patch verification, and access to skilled security consultants for ongoing support.
