APPSEC ASSURANCE
Application Security
Assurance
Shift-left security testing — from threat modelling through code review to runtime protection. Flexible enough for CI/CD pipelines or on-demand engagements.
Security integrated into the SDLC — not bolted on after. We combine industry-leading tooling with deep manual expertise to deliver end-to-end AppSec coverage: SAST, SCA, and DAST — as a continuous pipeline or ad-hoc engagement.

Our Approach

Applications are the No. 1 attack vector for cybercriminals and the main source of breaches. With business requirements demanding high speed roll out of applications with the use of open source and third-party components, a mature approach to AppSec that integrates security seamlessly and is continuously improving, is required to keep businesses safe. A Managed AppSec program ensures that the right combination of Technology, Skills and Processes are delivered as a service to ensure success.

Beyond Known Vulnerabilities

In addition to the well-known AppSec standards and Benchmarks, the list of standards we leverage to ensure top most quality software security testing includes and not limited to;
● ISO/IEC 9126 (Secure Software Building)
● ISO/IEC 15408 (Common Criteria)
● ISO/IEC 27006:2007 (Certification and Accreditation)
● ISO/IEC 27034:1-1-2011 (Application Security)

360 Degree approach to Code Security

NetSentries combines various AppSec testing methods to ensure code security assurance.
• Static Analysis (SAST): Outside-in testing to Identify security weaknesses in custom code.
• Interactive Analysis (IAST): “From-the-outside-in” security testing that runs with within application while it is running.
• Dynamic Analysis (DAST): Outside-in security” testing performed by executing the application to identify exploitable vulnerabilities.
• Software Composition Analysis (SCA): Prevent Security risks introduced by Open source libraries.

End to End Support from Testing to Remediation

We help our customers in selecting proper remediation strategies for identified Defects that results in security or availability issues, or Errors that can be misused by attackers. Security Vulnerabilities are treated according to the business impact and context, rather than adopting a “one treatment” for all approach. This includes enabling clients with proper bug tracking and risk scoring to facilitate adequate decisions on risk acceptance, remediation, or risk transfer.

DESIGN PHASE
Threat Modelling
Comprehensive Solutions Design Review that maps your deployment's data flows, threat actors, and existing controls through detailed Data Flow Diagrams (DFDs).
Visual threat mapping — DFDs showing managed data, threat actors, and control boundaries
Contextual threat dissection — assessed against solution design, architecture, and service context
Multi-standard categorization — delivering prioritized, context-specific remediation recommendations

BEYOND CONVENTIONAL
Context-Aware Threat Assessment
Traditional threat modelling focuses narrowly on the technology stack. Our context-aware approach integrates business context — use cases, data handling, service exposure, and compliance requirements — to evaluate threats by both technical and business impact.
Business + technical risk — threats evaluated against operational impact, not just tech severity
Holistic scope — interconnected services, data processing, compliance requirements factored in
Actionable prioritization — enabling accurate remediation planning at the organizational level
