What Do Our Application Security Services Include?
Practical security work an engineering team can keep up: controls in the pipeline, in the cloud and in your AI features.
Secure SDLC
Threat modeling for new features, secure coding guidelines based on the OWASP Top 10 and ASVS, and security review in pull requests.
DevSecOps Pipelines
SAST (Semgrep, CodeQL), dependency scanning (Dependabot, Snyk, OSV), container scanning (Trivy) and DAST (OWASP ZAP) wired into CI with clear pass and fail rules.
Cloud Posture & IAM
AWS, Azure and Google Cloud reviews against CIS Benchmarks, least-privilege IAM, SSO and MFA, network segmentation, encryption and audit logging.
Secrets Management
Find leaked secrets with gitleaks, move them into HashiCorp Vault or your cloud's secrets manager, and set up rotation and short-lived credentials.
LLM & AI Security
Defenses against prompt injection, data leakage and unsafe tool use, guided by the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications, with red-team test suites.
Compliance Readiness Support
Technical controls, policies and evidence to prepare for SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA or India's DPDP Act, working alongside your auditor.
From Security Review to Secure by Default
Baseline Review
We review your code, CI/CD, cloud accounts and AI features, and rank findings by real-world risk.
Fix the Critical Few
We close the highest-risk issues first: exposed secrets, over-privileged access, public data and vulnerable dependencies.
Automate the Checks
We add scanning and policy checks to CI and the cloud so the same issues are caught if they return.
Test
We coordinate penetration testing with specialist partners and fix what they find.
Keep It Current
Ongoing patching, dependency updates and periodic reviews, alone or as part of managed support.
Security Built by the Engineers Who Ship Your Code
Large firms run broad security programs, including 24x7 security operations centers, that suit big enterprises. Product and mid-market teams often need something smaller and closer to the code.
| Aaga | Typical large IT services model | |
|---|---|---|
| Focus | Application, pipeline, cloud and AI security for your product | Enterprise-wide security programs and managed SOC services |
| Who does the work | Senior engineers who also fix the code and infrastructure | Separate assessment, advisory and delivery teams |
| Output | Merged fixes and automated checks in CI | Assessment reports and remediation roadmaps |
| How you start | A baseline review and a short fix list | Discovery and program planning phases |
| Best for | Product, SaaS and mid-market engineering teams | Large enterprises needing global security operations |
Comparison describes typical delivery models, not any specific company.
What We Do and Don't Do
Aaga is an engineering company, so our security work sits close to the code and the cloud. To be clear about scope:
- We do secure design, DevSecOps automation, cloud and IAM hardening, secrets management, AI and LLM guardrails, remediation and compliance readiness support.
- We coordinate formal penetration tests with specialist partners, and we fix the findings.
- We don't issue certifications or audit reports. SOC 2 reports and ISO 27001 certificates come from independent auditors and certification bodies. We help you get ready for them.
- We don't run a 24x7 security operations center. If you need one, we can integrate your logs and alerts with the SOC or managed detection provider you choose.
What Are Application and Cloud Security Services?
Application and cloud security services protect the software a company builds and the infrastructure it runs on. They cover how code is designed and written, which open-source packages it depends on, how it is built and deployed, how the cloud account is configured and who has access to what. For teams shipping AI features, they now also cover how large language models are prompted, what data they can see and what actions they can take.
Aaga approaches security as engineering work. The same senior engineers who build and run software add the controls, automate the checks and fix the issues, so security improves with every release instead of only at audit time.
The Most Common Security Gaps We See
Many security incidents in modern applications don't start with exotic attacks. They start with a short list of everyday gaps:
- Secrets in code. API keys and database passwords committed to a repository or stored in plain environment files.
- Over-privileged access. Cloud roles with administrator rights, shared accounts and no MFA.
- Outdated dependencies. Open-source packages with known vulnerabilities that nobody has updated.
- Public by accident. Storage buckets, databases or admin panels exposed to the internet.
- Missing logs. No audit trail to show who did what when something goes wrong.
- Unguarded AI features. Chatbots and agents that can be tricked into revealing data or calling tools they shouldn't.
A baseline review finds these quickly. Fixing them and keeping them fixed is where most of the value is.
How Aaga Builds Security In
Secure software development lifecycle
Security starts at design. For new features we run lightweight threat modeling, using a method such as STRIDE, to spot risks like broken access control or unsafe file uploads before code is written. Coding standards follow the OWASP Top 10 and the OWASP Application Security Verification Standard (ASVS), and pull request reviews include a security check.
DevSecOps in your pipeline
We add automated checks to CI so every change is scanned: static analysis, dependency and license scanning, container image scanning, infrastructure-as-code checks (for example Checkov for Terraform) and dynamic scanning of a running test environment. We also generate a software bill of materials (SBOM) so you know exactly what ships. This builds on our DevOps services and works with your existing pipeline.
Cloud security posture and IAM
We review your AWS, Azure or Google Cloud setup against CIS Benchmarks, then harden it: SSO and MFA for people, narrowly scoped roles for services, private networking for databases, encryption at rest and in transit, centralized audit logs and tested backups. If you're moving to the cloud or between clouds, we design this in from the start with our cloud solutions team.
LLM and AI security
AI features bring new risks. Prompt injection can turn a helpful assistant into a data leak. We design AI systems so the model never has more access than the user, sensitive fields are redacted before they reach the model, tool calls are allow-listed and validated, and outputs are checked before they reach users or other systems. Before release we run adversarial evaluation suites, the same discipline our quality engineering team applies to LLM testing.
Compliance Readiness Support
Many teams come to us because a customer has asked for a SOC 2 report, an ISO 27001 certificate, HIPAA safeguards for health data or a plan for India's Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act. Aaga provides readiness support:
- Gap assessment against the framework's technical controls
- Implementation of access control, logging, encryption, backup, change management and vulnerability management
- Policies and evidence written with your team, with automated evidence collection where possible
- Audit support while your independent auditor or certification body does the assessment
We don't issue certifications, and we don't claim to. We help make sure the controls are real and working when the auditor looks. Readiness support is technical and operational help, not legal advice.
What You Get From a Baseline Review
- A ranked list of findings across code, dependencies, CI/CD, cloud configuration and AI features
- Clear severity and business impact for each finding, in plain language
- A remediation plan, separating quick fixes from larger changes
- Recommended checks to add to your pipeline so issues stay fixed
Keeping Security Current
Security is not a one-time project. Dependencies age, cloud accounts drift and new features add new risks. Aaga can keep patching, dependency updates and periodic reviews going as part of managed application support, and builds security into every legacy modernization project so the new system starts clean.
If you're not sure where to begin, a baseline review is the fastest way to find out which risks are real and which can wait.
Frequently Asked Questions
Application security services protect the software you build and run. They cover secure design, code and dependency scanning, testing running applications, hardening the cloud environment, managing secrets and fixing vulnerabilities. Aaga delivers these as engineering work inside your delivery pipeline.
DevSecOps means building security checks into the development and deployment pipeline instead of testing only before release. In practice that means static analysis, dependency and container scanning and dynamic scans running automatically on every pull request or build, with clear rules for what blocks a release.
We provide readiness support: implementing technical controls, writing policies with you, setting up evidence collection and preparing for the audit. The SOC 2 report or ISO 27001 certificate itself is issued by an independent auditor or certification body, not by Aaga.
We coordinate penetration testing with specialist partners, define the scope with you, and then fix the findings in your code and infrastructure. That keeps the testing independent while making sure issues actually get resolved.
We treat model inputs and outputs as untrusted. That means isolating system prompts, limiting what tools and data an AI agent can reach, filtering sensitive data before it reaches the model, validating outputs and running red-team test suites for prompt injection and data leakage before release.
We work with AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud, and CI systems such as GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Bitbucket Pipelines and Jenkins. Scanning tools are chosen to fit your stack, with open-source options where they do the job.
It shouldn't. We tune rules to cut false positives, run fast checks on pull requests and heavier scans on a schedule, and only block builds for high-severity issues. Developers see findings in the pull request with a suggested fix.
