AI code audit and guardrails

Your team already writes code with AI — but nobody checks whether it is safe

For organizations whose developers now rely on AI to write code, and who need to know whether what shipped contains vulnerabilities or leaked secrets — before an auditor or an attacker finds them first.

This is not a judgement on your developers. The goal is to keep the speed AI gives you without paying for it in invisible security debt — and to leave the team with rules they can actually follow without slowing down.
Code audit and guardrails for teams using AI to write code
What we usually find in AI-assisted code

Not broken code — code that looks fine while being unsafe

Secrets sitting in the code, unnoticed

A connection string, password, or API key added during testing and never removed — usually already in git history, which is far harder to erase than people expect.

Dependencies with published vulnerabilities

AI tends to pick library versions it saw often in training, which may be older releases with published CVEs — and nothing checks this at merge time.

Authorization that looks present but is incomplete

Permission checks on the main endpoint but not the secondary ones, or a check that the caller is logged in without checking the record actually belongs to them.

Code nobody on the team truly understands

When code is produced faster than anyone reads it, parts emerge that nobody dares change — and that is exactly what breaks slowly during an incident.

How the engagement runs

Audit, then leave guardrails the team can run themselves

The goal is not for us to review forever — it is for your own pipeline to catch these before a merge.

1

Audit the single riskiest repository first

We pick the repository closest to customer data or money and review both the current code and its git history.

2

Rank by real risk, not by warning count

Automated tools emit hundreds of warnings until teams stop reading them. We surface only what genuinely matters and explain how each could actually be exploited.

3

Put guardrails into the pipeline

Secret scanning, vulnerable-dependency scanning, and a threshold that fails the merge when something high-severity appears.

4

Write the team's rules for using AI to write code

Spelling out what must never be pasted into an AI tool — real customer data, keys — and which changes always require human review.

What you receive

A report that names files and lines, not vague advice

Report

Findings down to file and line

Each item names the file, the line, a severity, the scenario in which it could be exploited, and a recommended fix with a rough effort estimate.

Pipeline

Automated checks that keep running

Configured so every merge is checked for leaked secrets and vulnerable dependencies without relying on manual review.

Policy

An AI coding policy people will actually follow

A policy draft covering restricted uses and human-review points, with length and detail determined by the team's scope and process.

Who this fits

If your development team matches these

  • Developers already use AI coding tools routinely
  • You run systems touching customer data, employee data, or financial transactions
  • No secret or vulnerable-dependency scanning in the pipeline yet
  • An enterprise customer or external auditor is about to review you
Not needed yet if

We will say plainly if you do not need this yet

  • You already have an internal security team covering this
  • Nothing is in production yet and no real data is involved
  • You only want a certificate, not actual remediation
Frequently asked

What CTOs and team leads always ask first

Do we have to give you our whole codebase?

No. Assessment can start from a selected repository, while NDA terms, review location, and access must be confirmed before work begins. If code cannot leave the organization, the team will assess whether an on-environment review is feasible.

How is this different from just running a scanner?

A scanner tells you what might be a problem, not which ones are actually exploitable in your context. We filter to what genuinely matters, explain the attack path, and leave guardrails your team can maintain.

Will this report be used against our developers?

The report is written at system level and does not attribute code to individuals. The goal is reducing risk and improving process, not performance review. It goes only to the recipients you nominate.

Do we have to keep paying after the audit?

No. The report and the guardrails are yours to run. Ongoing monitoring and periodic re-checks are a separate monthly service you can consider later, if you want it.

Start with one repository

Let us audit one repository and see what turns up

The team assesses repository scope and confirms the review method, timing, fees, and report format before work begins.
