What we Review
Review focuses on security-critical code paths, trust boundaries, and application logic that automated analysis alone may not fully understand.
Standalone or Combined
Source code review is a standalone Red Sentry service. It can also be paired with:
Hardware/IoT Security Testing
Threat Modeling
As a standalone assessment, source code review examines implementation details, control logic, and trust boundaries that runtime testing may not fully expose. When paired with penetration testing, code-level insight can help focus runtime validation on higher-risk paths and connect implementation weaknesses to demonstrated application behavior.
HOW WE WORK
Source code reviews are scoped based on codebase size, complexity, technologies, review depth, and testing objectives. Request a scoped review for an effort-based quote.
Documentation and build availability
AI-Assisted Code
This is a use case, not a separate service or a proprietary scanner. AI-assisted code is reviewed using the same human-led security methodology as traditionally developed code, with additional attention to patterns commonly introduced through generated or rapidly assembled code.
Red Sentry reviews traditionally developed and AI-assisted codebases using the same human-led security review process. For applications developed with significant AI assistance, reviewers pay particular attention to security-critical logic, generated configuration, dependency choices, secrets handling, authorization, validation, and assumptions introduced during rapid development.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Red Sentry access our code?
We agree on a secure access method during scoping. Depending on the engagement, this may include temporary repository access or a securely provided copy of the in-scope source code, along with relevant documentation and build information.
How long does a source code review take?
Timing depends on the size and complexity of the codebase, technologies involved, review objectives, and agreed scope. We confirm the expected effort and testing window before the engagement begins.
Can source code review be combined with penetration testing?
Yes. Source code review can be performed independently or paired with application, API, mobile, desktop, hardware, or other relevant security testing. When paired with runtime testing, code-level insight can help focus validation on higher-risk functionality and attack paths.
What happens after we fix the findings?
One round of remediation testing for findings in the final report is included when requested within 90 days of report delivery, unless otherwise scoped.
