Source Code Security Review Services

Our experienced team follows a thorough code review checklist to leave no stone unturned. There are steps that your business can take to protect your source code aside from hiring Microminder’s expert services.

• 1

  Ensure that all inventions and concepts associated with the software are thoroughly protected by both patents and copyright law. Filing for patents protects the innovative ideas and concepts associated with your software. This legal protection prevents others from using, making, or selling your invention for a specific period, giving you exclusive rights.This protects the actual written code. It grants the author (or owner) exclusive rights to reproduce, distribute, display, and modify the code. Copyright protection is automatic upon code creation, but registering it provides additional legal benefits.

  We form a source code protection policy by creating a set of rules relating to the code. This can help keep software and devices safe from outside threats. This policy will include information such as documentation on secure coding practices, individuals involved in code development, and source code development processes.Our team develops a comprehensive policy that outlines rules for code development and usage.We include secure coding practices in the policy to guide developers in writing secure code. We also document the individuals involved in the code development process, their roles, and access permissions.Clearly defining the source code development processes to maintain consistency and security standards are also in our agenda.

  We help you determine who is permitted access to the source code. There should not be any reason why anyone except for proactive employees should be working on your code. Still, two-factor authentication should be launched for anyone with access for maximum protection. This stops people with ill intent from getting into your code.

  Do not permit the use of insecure source code. To avoid this, you should utilise source code security analysis tools, such as Static Application Security Testing (SAST) as well as Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) tools. Utilize Static Application Security Testing (SAST) tools to analyze source code for vulnerabilities during the development phase.Implement Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) tools to identify and address security issues in running applications.We advise you to regularly scan and test the code to catch potential security flaws early in the development process.

• 5

  As basic protection, you should also incorporate network security solutions such as anti-virus software, anti-malware software, and firewalls. This protects your code from potential hackers and maintains safe data sharing.MCS team install and regularly update antivirus software to detect and remove malicious software.Employ anti-malware tools to protect against various forms of malware attacks..We also set up firewalls to monitor and control incoming and outgoing network traffic, providing an additional layer of defense against unauthorized access.

• 6

  It is wise to Use encryption for your data and ensure you monitor it sufficiently. In doing so, you can prevent hackers from infiltrating or, at the very least, be ready to act fast if an attack does occur.Encrypt sensitive data within the source code to protect it from unauthorized access during transmission or storage. Our experts help you implement monitoring systems to keep track of data access and changes, enabling quick detection of any suspicious activities or security breaches.

  Our team at MCS helps you use endpoint security software to help protect your endpoints from suspicious activity. Data Loss Prevention (DLP) tools are great for this. They can effectively stop your code from leaving the endpoint (and prevent it from undergoing data exfiltration). Deploying endpoint security software to protect devices (endpoints) from potential security threats are also important. Using Data Loss Prevention (DLP) tools to prevent unauthorized access and transmission of sensitive data, ensuring that your source code remains within authorized endpoints is also another area where we can help you with.

• Our experts utilise the best code review tools to conduct a comprehensive assessment of your source code. These tools enhance our efficiency and accuracy, ensuring that no vulnerabilities go unnoticed.
