Application Security Consulting Services
Our Application Security (AppSec) consulting services guide your organisation to embed robust security practices throughout the application development lifecycle. From establishing secure coding practices and policies to integrating security testing within CI/CD pipelines, we help you build security from the ground up. With a focus on seamless integration, our consulting approach ensures that security becomes a fundamental part of your development lifecycle, supporting your organisation’s resilience and innovation.
Security by Design: Plan, Build, Secure
Security-Driven Development Lifecycle
We help you build a secure foundation by embedding security at every stage of your software development lifecycle. From planning through to deployment and beyond, we establish practices that keep security considerations front and centre.
Integrated Security Testing
Security should never be an afterthought — we integrate testing throughout your CI/CD pipeline, supporting a proactive approach and ensuring early vulnerability detection within each development cycle.
Standards-Based Coding Practices
With guidance on secure coding standards and policies, we enable your team to adopt consistent practices that mitigate vulnerabilities and ensure compliance with industry standards, giving you confidence in your applications’ resilience.
Application Security Challenges: Common Pitfalls
In today’s fast-paced development environment, the pressure to quickly release new features often pushes security to the sidelines. Security considerations may be deprioritised or even viewed as a roadblock that slows down development and delays releases. While many organisations recognise the importance of application security, integrating it seamlessly into development processes is challenging, especially under tight timelines and high demands for rapid innovation. Traditional approaches tend to address security only after development is complete, leading to costly rework, increased risk exposure, and missed opportunities to proactively mitigate vulnerabilities.
The following factors highlight why traditional methods often fall short in achieving effective application security.
Lack of Security Integration: Security is often an afterthought, only considered in final testing phases, leading to vulnerabilities that could have been prevented early in development.
Inconsistent Development Standards: Without established security policies and development standards, organisations struggle to maintain consistent practices across developers, teams and projects, leading to vulnerabilities in the codebase.
Inadequate Security Foundations: Many development teams focus primarily on functionality and performance, with minimal emphasis on secure design and architecture from the outset.
Disconnected CI/CD Security: Security testing is often excluded from CI/CD workflows, delaying vulnerability detection and creating potential bottlenecks before deployment.
For application security to be effective, it must be integrated from the start, establishing processes that reinforce security at every stage of development.
How we can help…
Morrisec’s AppSec consulting services are designed to embed security seamlessly into your development lifecycle, transforming ad hoc practices into streamlined processes.
