Application Security Review — Identify Risks, Prioritise Fixes, Protect Your Users
Practical, hands-on application security reviews for organisations in Dubai, Ajman and the wider UAE. We combine automated scanning, manual testing and secure code review to produce clear findings and prioritized remediation guidance.
Overview
We assess web, mobile and API applications to find real-world security risks that affect users and businesses in the UAE. Our reviews use a blend of automated tools and expert manual testing to detect issues like authentication flaws, insecure data handling, injection weaknesses, and misconfigured APIs. Deliverables include an executive summary, detailed findings mapped to risk severity, reproducible test steps, impact analysis, and a prioritized remediation roadmap. We align our work with common industry frameworks (OWASP Top 10, SANS/CWE) and consider UAE-specific data residency and compliance needs. We work with development and DevOps teams to ensure fixes are practical and verifiable. Follow-up retesting verifies remediation. Our approach supports secure SDLC goals without disrupting business operations, whether you run SaaS platforms, customer-facing websites, mobile apps or internal systems. Engagements are scoped to your application type and risk profile. Typical outcomes are clearer visibility of vulnerabilities, prioritized actions for engineering teams, and reduced operational risk without overpromising results.

Frequently asked questions
What types of applications do you review?
We review web applications, mobile apps (iOS/Android/Flutter/React Native), APIs and backend services. Scope is agreed per engagement.
How long does a typical review take?
Duration depends on scope and application complexity. Small apps often take 1–2 weeks; larger systems may take several weeks. We provide a timeline after scoping.
Will testing affect my production services?
We prefer testing in staging environments. If production testing is required, we agree on safe testing windows and rules of engagement to minimise risk.
Do you provide remediation support?
Yes. We provide prioritized fix guidance and can work with your developers to implement and verify remediations, followed by optional retesting.
How do you handle confidentiality and sensitive data?
We sign NDAs and follow strict data-handling policies. Test data and findings are shared securely with authorised stakeholders only.
