Secure Coding

One of the least understood, and most often overlooked elements of a secure environment is the custom software deployed within an enterprise. Developing secure applications is a continual balance between the need for security, and the pressures of the development lifecycle. To assist our client, NGSSoftware Consulting offer a range of secure coding services. These services include:

  • Application Code Review

    NGSSoftware Consulting excel at the analysis and audit of secure code for mission critical applications or distributed application components, successfully uncovering almost all insecure coding practices. Working closely with client developmental staff during the analysis phases, NGSSoftware's Consultants focus upon key elements of the coding structure such as authentication processes, data validation, and session management.
  • Software Outsourcing

    The process of outsourcing software development projects introduces a variety of security risks associated with poor coding practices, and inadequate infrastructure design. NGSSoftware Consulting are adept at reducing this insecurity in the outsourcing process as well as the projects upon which we engage will equip the software development process with a detailed security practice and awareness.
  • Application Architecture Design

    Working in tandem with clients, NGSSoftware's consultants assist in the architecture and design of secure software. Following initial client consultation and project scopes, NGSSoftware Consulting assist in designing applications that meet the initial design criteria as well as identifying all the components of a project that carry the largest business risks, in addition to making detailed recommendations to mitigate these risk factors.
