Before a formal audit, we clear the obvious landmines so audit time is spent on deep logic, not low-hanging fruit. This reduces cost, reduces churn, and increases audit signal.
Runtime scanning and configuration review
API and auth flow sanity tests
Dependency and exposure checks
Basic abuse and rate-limit validation
Deployment posture review (secrets, logging, access)
High-level threat modeling for audit planning
find obvious exposure and misconfig
pick what must be fixed before audit starts
confirm impact and reproducibility
reduce noise before deep review
clear scope and known-risk list
Must-fix list before audit begins
Evidence and reproduction conditions

Retest notes after fixes
Frequently Asked Questions
We perform automated scans and dynamic testing before the formal audit begins. This helps identify and eliminate low-hanging vulnerabilities early, allowing the main audit to focus on deeper logic and economic risks.
Static analysis reviews code without executing it—fast but limited in detecting runtime issues. Dynamic testing runs the application and evaluates real behavior, making it effective at uncovering logic flaws. Both approaches are complementary.
Yes—pre-audit testing typically identifies 30–50% of issues that would otherwise appear in the main audit. This streamlines the audit process and allows auditors to focus on more complex vulnerabilities.
Testing is ideally performed in staging environments. If production testing is required, we coordinate carefully and use non-destructive methods to avoid any impact on live systems.
Most pre-audit dynamic testing engagements are completed within 3–5 days.
We identify issues such as configuration weaknesses, common injection flaws, authentication problems, outdated or vulnerable dependencies, and basic logic errors—essentially the issues that are quick to fix but often overlooked.
Typically 3–5 days depending on application complexity.
