Product & Application Security

Secure your software supply chain and development lifecycle with DevSecOps, SBOM, and secure code practices — without slowing innovation.

Applications are a leading source of breaches—and often the most exposed part of your infrastructure. From insecure APIs and outdated libraries to logic flaws and misconfigured cloud apps, attackers increasingly target the software you build or deploy. IGCCD’s Product & Application Security services help development, DevOps, and security teams embed security throughout the software lifecycle—without slowing innovation. We provide threat modelling, secure code reviews, AppSec tool integration, and penetration testing to make security an enabler, not an obstacle.

  • Application Security Reviews & Testing

    We assess your applications for vulnerabilities across the OWASP Top 10 and beyond. This includes manual penetration testing, automated scanning, logic abuse testing, and secure deployment assessments across web, mobile, desktop, and SaaS applications.

    Secure SDLC & DevSecOps Enablement

    We help build Secure Software Development Lifecycles (SDLCs) that embed security into every development phase—from requirements through design, build, test, deploy, and maintain. This includes DevSecOps integration with CI/CD pipelines for real-time scanning and feedback.

    Threat Modelling & Architecture Reviews

    We run collaborative threat modelling sessions using STRIDE, PASTA, or LINDDUN methods to proactively identify risks in your app designs, architectures, and third-party integrations—before a line of code is written.

    Software Composition Analysis (SCA)

    We scan your applications and containers for open-source component risks, licensing issues, and vulnerable dependencies—helping you meet SBOM (Software Bill of Materials) requirements and reduce supply chain risk.

    API Security

    We assess RESTful and GraphQL APIs for insecure authentication, data exposure, rate limiting, and business logic flaws. This includes manual API fuzzing, Postman/Burp Suite-based testing, and API gateway configuration reviews.

    Cloud-Native Application Security

    We secure your containerised and serverless applications running in Kubernetes, AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, or GCP Cloud Run—covering IaC, secrets management, network policies, and container scanning.

    • You're developing or releasing a new product and want to "shift left" on security.

    • You've been asked for AppSec assurance by clients, regulators, or investors.

    • Your APIs are exposed to partners or customers and need hardening.

    • You're adopting DevOps and want to build secure pipelines.

    • You want to reduce the risk of open-source dependency exploits.

  • We start with an application risk profile—understanding your development process, hosting model, and compliance needs. We then assess your applications through a combination of code review, dynamic analysis, and architecture evaluation. For ongoing builds, we embed automated tooling into your CI/CD workflows, build developer training plans, and help define security gates and metrics. Whether you're building fintech platforms, government portals, or mobile apps, we tailor our services to your stack and release velocity.

    • Risk: Insecure code deployed without review
      Mitigation: SAST and SCA integration in pipelines + manual checks

    • Risk: API exposing sensitive data
      Mitigation: API gateway config review and fuzz testing

    • Risk: Dev teams resist security gates
      Mitigation: Developer-first tooling, feedback loops, and secure code coaching

    • Risk: Reused or vulnerable open-source packages
      Mitigation: SBOM generation and SCA with alerts for critical CVEs

  • Q: How often should we test our applications?
    At minimum, annually—or every time you release major features or architectural changes. For high-risk apps, test quarterly or continuously.

    Q: Is this only for customer-facing apps?
    No. Internal tools, back-office APIs, admin panels, and mobile apps are all frequent breach targets. We cover all app types.

    Q: Can you help us pass security audits or client due diligence?
    Yes. We align our reports and testing scope with ISO 27001, PCI DSS, and client-specific checklists.
