Design Review

Ensure your underlying system design is secure from vulnerabilities based on best-in-class expertise and methodologies.

Unlike code reviews and architecture reviews, the Comsec Design Review helps to pinpoint weaknesses in the application design at the start of development. Even if your development team are fully trained in writing secure code, there may still be vulnerabilities in the application design itself.

Working with Comsec’s global, industry-wide expertise, you will:

  • Identify and locate any missing security mechanisms in the underlying system that could end up being exposed
  • Examine whether the design of the security mechanisms are inherently strong and secure for piece of mind
  • Reveal any gaps in security requirements based on your project or specific industry that you may not be aware of
  • Identify any additional security controls required to enhance the application design before work commences, saving costly updates at the end of development

How Comsec’s Secure Design Review experts help your business

Ideally, Comsec will follow best practice to perform a design review before a system’s implementation, ensuring that the system is secure from the start and avoiding any development errors. For systems already in production, our design review will reveal any existing design security flaws and then produce system-specific development guidelines to avoid future vulnerabilities. Our full service includes:
  1. An interview key personnel and system owners to better understand the architecture and design. We also inspect relevant documents including system design and architecture diagrams.
  2. During this process, we will document any security threats based on best practices, Secure Design Principles, and rich industry experience.
  3. After the initial assessment, we will analyze the collected data and provide a full report that outlines security flaws in the design and architecture of the system, plus written recommendations for mitigating those findings.
