Code & application review
A read of your codebase and application for security flaws, fragile patterns, and risky shortcuts - with clear findings you can act on.
SERVICE · CYBER RISK & SOFTWARE REVIEWAll services
Cyber risk and software review for business systems.
Most security problems are found after they've already cost something. We review your code, cloud setup, access controls, AI workflows, and deployment process before they become incidents - and hand you a clear, prioritised list of what to fix.

PROBLEMS WE SOLVE
Sound familiar?
You're about to ship software, but nobody has checked it for security holes.
You've inherited a system and don't know what risks are hiding inside it.
Access, credentials, and permissions have grown messy as the team scaled.
You're adding AI to your product and aren't sure where it can be trusted.
WHAT WE BUILD
What we build for you.
Cloud & infrastructure review
A review of your cloud setup, hosting, secrets, and infrastructure for misconfigurations, exposure, and weak defaults.
Access & permissions review
Who can reach what, and where permissions should be tightened to least privilege - scoped, deliberate, and revocable.
AI workflow risk review
Where AI is used in your systems, where it can fail, and where a human needs to stay in the loop - without overclaiming what a model can be trusted to do.

HOW WE WORK
A clear, honest process.
- Step 01
Scope the review
We agree what's in scope - code, cloud, access, AI, deployment - and what a finished review looks like.
- Step 02
Review & test
We work through the systems methodically, documenting risks with evidence as we go.
- Step 03
Prioritise findings
We rank every finding by severity and likelihood, so you fix what matters first rather than everything at once.
- Step 04
Re-check the fixes
Once you've addressed the priorities, we re-check the important ones so you know they're genuinely closed.
WHAT YOU GET
Deliverables.
- A prioritised report of risks, ranked by severity
- Clear, practical remediation steps for each finding
- A review of the code, cloud, access, and AI risk in scope
- A re-check of the high-priority fixes
- A plain-language summary for non-technical stakeholders

WHY KANBAN STUDIOS
Why teams trust us with it.
Founder-led delivery
The people who scope your project are the ones who build it - no account managers or offshore handoffs in between.
Human-reviewed work
AI moves the work faster, but nothing ships until an engineer has read, tested, and signed off on it.
Regulated-grade security
We build to the standards regulated industries expect: access controls, audit trails, and data handling that hold up to scrutiny.
You own it
At handover you get the full codebase, documentation, and credentials - no lock-in, no dependency on us to keep it running.
Support after launch
Launch is the start, not the exit. We stay on with monthly support to fix, patch, and improve as your business changes.
Clear, honest communication
We tell you what's realistic, what it costs, and where the risks are before you commit - not after.
FAQ
Common questions.
What do you actually review?
Whatever's in scope: source code, cloud and infrastructure setup, access and permissions, AI workflows, and the deployment process. We agree the boundaries with you before we start, so you know exactly what's covered.
Is this a formal penetration test or certification?
It's a risk-focused engineering review, not an accredited audit or formal certification. It's designed to find and prioritise real, fixable risks before they cause problems. If you need formal penetration testing or compliance certification, we'll say so and help you scope it.
Can you review software you didn't build?
Yes. Reviewing inherited or third-party software is one of the most common reasons teams come to us. We document what's there, surface the risks, and give you a clear plan to make it safer.
What do we get at the end?
A prioritised report: every finding ranked by severity, with practical steps to fix it, plus a plain-language summary for stakeholders. After you've made the changes, we re-check the high-priority items.
