CERT-In empanelled · India
Sumrite’s testers run your source code review by hand, and the report is issued through a CERT-In empanelled auditor. One team from scoping to sign-off, built for Indian regulators, enterprise buyers and government work.
Yes. We run the full engagement for you and route the formal attestation through our network of CERT-In empanelled partner auditors, so you deal with one team from scoping to report.
A secure source code review is an expert-led read of your application's code by a security engineer, looking for vulnerabilities that are hard or impossible to find by testing the running app. Some flaws only show up in the code: an authorisation check that is missing on one route, weak or home-made cryptography, unsafe deserialisation, secrets committed by mistake, or a helper function that trusts user input everywhere it is used. Static analysis tools are used to point at likely problem areas, but the review itself is done by a person who reads the logic and decides whether it is actually exploitable. The work focuses on the code that matters most, such as authentication, payments, access control and data handling, and follows the OWASP Code Review Guide and CWE Top 25. Each finding is mapped to the file and function, with a fix written for your stack.

| SAST tool | Sumrite manual review | |
|---|---|---|
| Finds | Known patterns, such as unsafe functions and injectable queries | Logic flaws, missing authorisation checks and insecure design |
| False positives | Many; each needs triage | Findings confirmed reachable against a running build |
| Context | None: it reads code without knowing what it should do | Reviewer learns the intended behaviour first, then looks for the gaps |
| Area | What we check | Example finding |
|---|---|---|
| Authentication and authorisation | Missing or inconsistent checks across routes and services | An admin endpoint that checks login but not role |
| Cryptography | Algorithms, key management, randomness, password storage | Passwords hashed with an unsalted fast hash |
| Input and output handling | Injection, deserialisation, template and path handling | User input passed straight into a database query |
| Secrets and configuration | Keys, tokens and credentials in code or history | A production API key in a committed config file |
| Dependencies in context | How vulnerable libraries are actually used | A vulnerable parser reachable from an upload endpoint |

They find different things. A penetration test shows what an attacker can exploit from outside; a code review finds flaws in logic and design that may never be reachable in testing. Critical applications benefit from both.
Access is read-only and covered by an NDA signed before anything is shared. Code is reviewed in the agreed environment and access is removed when the engagement closes.
We run the full engagement for these frameworks, and where a formal audit or attestation is needed we route it through our local partner firms, so you deal with one team.
One insecure helper or crypto routine can undermine a solid application. Dependency alerts alone do not explain how your code uses them.
Sumrite's Source Code Review targets auth, payments, crypto, and deserialization per OWASP Code Review guidance.
Methodology, scope, and deliverables in plain terms.
Expert-led review with targeted static analysis; CWE Top 25 and OWASP secure coding focus.
Severity-rated issues, code references, and example fixes. Retest of critical items when bundled with VAPT.
Every step from scope and NDA to a retested, final report, shown for Source Code Review. No jargon, no surprises.
Submit your scope so our team can plan the engagement and get started.
Every phase is run by a security expert, with tools used only to speed up the routine parts. Findings are reproduced and confirmed before they reach your report.
Findings are written for two readers at once: developers who need the exact fix and auditors or buyers who need confidence.
Your team fixes the issues with guidance written for your stack, and the tester who found each issue answers questions directly.
Every fix is tested again. Nothing is marked closed on trust.
You receive a verified report in your company name, ready for clients, auditors and procurement.
