Cybersecurity & Application Security

Find and fix security risks before attackers do.

Secure code audits, penetration-testing oversight, DevSecOps and compliance advisory, built into how your software is designed, built and shipped.

What you get from an assessment

  • A prioritised list of vulnerabilities, ranked by business risk
  • Clear, developer-ready steps to fix each issue
  • A compliance gap summary for your industry
  • A re-test once fixes are in place
Who it's for

If any of these sound familiar, let's talk.

You operate in a regulated industry

Banks, NBFCs, insurers and healthcare businesses that must protect sensitive customer data and meet regulators’ expectations.

You ship fast and security lags behind

Product teams that need security checks inside the pipeline, not a manual review that delays every release.

Someone is asking for proof

A client, investor or auditor wants evidence that your application is secure, and you need a credible report.

What we offer

End-to-end application and cloud security.

Take one service on its own, or combine them into an ongoing security programme.

How we deliver

Security in every stage of delivery, not a gate at the end.

  1. 01

    Assess

    Understand your application, data and risks. Agree on scope and what “secure enough” means for your business.

  2. 02

    Audit & test

    Code review and vulnerability scanning, plus partner-led penetration testing that we plan and oversee, across apps, APIs and cloud set-up.

  3. 03

    Fix

    Prioritised remediation with your developers or ours, then a re-test to confirm each issue is closed.

  4. 04

    Embed & monitor

    Pipeline security gates, monitoring and periodic reviews, so security keeps pace as your product changes.

Frequently asked questions

Do you only audit software that Kudos built?

No. We review applications built by any team or vendor. Many clients come to us for an independent check before a launch, an audit or a client security review.

Will our source code stay confidential?

Yes. We sign an NDA before any access, work with the minimum access needed, and share findings only with the contacts you nominate.

How long does a security assessment take?

Typically 1 to 3 weeks, depending on the size of the application and the scope we agree.

Can your team fix the issues you find?

Yes. We can guide your developers with clear remediation steps, or our engineers can fix the issues for you, followed by a re-test to confirm they are closed.

Which technologies do you cover?

.NET / ASP.NET Core, Angular, React, Vue, Node.js and Python applications, APIs and microservices, on Azure, AWS and GCP, with Docker-based deployments.
