§ 01 — Overview

What we do.

MetroNova Labs performs software security audits and secure code reviews. We combine manual review with automated analysis to examine your application code, third-party dependencies, authentication and access control, and deployment configuration — then deliver a clear, severity-rated report with practical remediation guidance and a re-test to confirm fixes.

The difference it makes.

Security issues are far cheaper and faster to fix before release than after a breach. A focused audit surfaces the vulnerabilities that matter most and gives you a clear, prioritized path to address them.

01

Catch issues early

Find vulnerabilities before release, when fixes are faster and far less costly.

02

Reduce real risk

Lower the chance of breaches, downtime, and reputational damage.

03

Win trust and contracts

Demonstrate security maturity to customers, partners, and investors.

04

Prioritized, not noisy

Get actionable, severity-rated findings instead of raw scanner output.

Common challenges this addresses.

  • Vulnerabilities shipped to production
  • Insecure or outdated dependencies
  • Broken or missing access controls
  • Hardcoded secrets and credentials
  • Misconfigured deployments
  • Business-logic flaws scanners miss
  • Unprepared for compliance audits
  • Security debt across releases

What we commonly build.

01

Pre-launch review

Assess a new application before it goes live to customers.

02

Compliance preparation

Get ready for SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, or HIPAA expectations.

03

Due diligence

Security review for customer questionnaires, investors, or M&A.

04

Post-incident review

Understand and close gaps after a breach or near-miss.

05

Major release validation

Review significant refactors or architecture changes before shipping.

06

AI-generated code review

Validate rapidly shipped or AI-assisted code for security issues.

What you get with this engagement.

  • Scoping & threat modeling
  • Manual secure code review
  • Static analysis (SAST)
  • Dynamic testing (DAST)
  • Dependency analysis (SCA)
  • Access control & auth review
  • Secrets detection
  • Configuration & deployment review
  • Severity-rated remediation report
  • Re-test & verification of fixes

A clear path from first call to launch.

  1. Step 01

    We scope the audit and model the threats and attack surface.

  2. Step 02

    We assess the code, dependencies, access control, and config.

  3. Step 03

    We rate findings by severity with root-cause analysis and evidence.

  4. Step 04

    We deliver a prioritized report with remediation guidance.

  5. Step 05

    We re-test after fixes to verify the issues are resolved.

An honest note on what an audit can and cannot do

A security audit substantially reduces risk by identifying known and likely vulnerabilities at a point in time. No audit can guarantee that every flaw is found or that all risk is eliminated — security is an ongoing practice, and we help you build it into your process.

§ 07 — Questions

Frequently asked questions.

What is a software security audit?
A software security audit is a structured review of an application's code, dependencies, access control, and configuration to find vulnerabilities and provide guidance to fix them before they can be exploited.
What's the difference between secure code review and penetration testing?
Secure code review examines the source code itself to find flaws, while penetration testing probes a running application from the outside. They are complementary; a code review can find issues that black-box testing alone may miss.
Do you need access to our source code?
For a code review, yes — a white-box review with source access is the most thorough. We can also scope a black-box assessment if source access isn't available, and we discuss the trade-offs during scoping.
What deliverables do we receive?
You receive a report with severity-rated findings, root-cause analysis, evidence, and prioritized remediation guidance, plus executive and technical summaries — and a re-test to confirm fixes.
Will the audit disrupt our development or production environment?
We plan the work to avoid disruption. Code review and static analysis don't touch production, and any dynamic testing is scoped and scheduled with you, typically against a non-production environment.
Does a security audit help us pass SOC 2 or ISO 27001?
It supports your readiness. An audit identifies and helps you close issues that compliance frameworks expect you to manage, though certification itself is granted by an accredited auditor.
Do you re-test after we fix the issues?
Yes. We verify your fixes to confirm the issues are genuinely resolved rather than only appearing to be.
