IT Security Overhaul
Full OWASP Top 10 audit for CI4, Laravel, WordPress, and Shopify platforms. Not a report and a goodbye - we implement every fix, re-test every finding, and deliver a signed security sign-off.
The vulnerabilities we find on every platform we audit.
These are not theoretical risks. These are real vulnerabilities we found and fixed on real platforms in the last 12 months. At least 4 of these 8 are present on every platform we have audited that was built by multiple developers over time.
Users accessing other users' data by changing an ID in the URL. The number one OWASP vulnerability category in 2024. Found in 5 of the last 6 CI4 platforms we audited.
User input passed directly into database queries without sanitisation. Allows attackers to dump your entire database - customer records, payment data, admin credentials.
Weak session tokens, missing brute-force protection, no account lockout after failed logins, sessions that do not expire. Allows account takeover at scale.
Forms that process sensitive actions - password change, payment initiation, admin operations - without CSRF tokens. Users tricked into executing actions without their knowledge.
File upload endpoints that accept PHP, executable files, or oversized payloads. Leads to remote code execution - the most dangerous path to full server compromise.
Debug mode enabled in production, default admin credentials, exposed .env files, verbose error messages, directory listing enabled. Trivial to exploit, often found on shared hosting.
API keys, database credentials, and private keys committed to version control or exposed in client-side JavaScript. Especially common on platforms built by multiple developers over time.
Outdated WordPress plugins, old CI4 versions, unpatched PHP, npm packages with known CVEs. Running a security audit at the dependency level often reveals 20+ issues in an hour.
What we found and fixed on FliqhtIQ.
Every finding patched, every patch re-tested, and a signed sign-off at the end of it. These are the ones that mattered most.
What our audits deliver.
Audit report with all findings delivered within 48 hours of access being granted.
We do not hand over a report. We fix everything and re-test before sign-off. Broken access control is the commonest thing we find, and it is fixed the same way as everything else.
Six steps from code access to signed sign-off.
We read source code, not just run scanners. Automated tools catch known CVEs. Only manual code review catches IDOR, business logic flaws, and developer mistakes.
We map every route, endpoint, parameter, and file upload point in your application. No black-box guessing - we read your source code.
Automated tools catch the obvious. Manual review catches the logic flaws, IDOR vulnerabilities, and business-logic bypasses that scanners miss.
For critical findings we produce proof-of-concept exploits - not just a report saying something might be vulnerable, but evidence that it is.
Every finding categorised by severity (Critical / High / Medium / Low), explained in plain English, with a specific remediation recommendation.
We do not just report and walk away. We fix every finding ourselves - code patches, configuration changes, dependency updates. All included in the fixed price.
After fixes are applied, we re-test every finding to confirm resolution. You receive a signed security sign-off document - useful for investor due diligence.
Security audits for every platform we build on.
CI4 & Laravel Security Audit
Full OWASP Top 10 audit of your CodeIgniter 4 or Laravel application - IDOR, SQLi, broken auth, CSRF, file uploads, session management, and dependency CVEs. Delivered as a prioritised report with every fix applied.
WordPress Security Audit
Plugin vulnerabilities, theme code review, user enumeration, XML-RPC exposure, file permission audit, and admin hardening. Especially critical for WooCommerce stores handling payment data.
Shopify Security Review
Shopify apps permission audit, API key exposure check, checkout flow review, metafield injection testing, and theme code review for XSS vulnerabilities. Applicable to all Shopify Plus stores.
Auth & Session Hardening
Shield auth configuration audit for CI4 - session fixation, brute force protection, remember-me token security, RBAC enforcement, and admin lockout policies.
Penetration Testing
Manual penetration testing of your web application - authenticated and unauthenticated attack surfaces, business logic flaws, API security, and privilege escalation paths. Delivered with PoC exploit evidence.
Ongoing Security Retainer
Monthly security monitoring - dependency CVE tracking, log review for anomalous access patterns, quarterly mini-audits, and emergency response for security incidents.
Platforms we have hardened.
Three ways to engage. All include fixes, not just reports.
One-time Security Audit
Full OWASP audit + all fixes implemented + re-test + sign-off. Fixed price, agreed before we start. Duration: 1–2 weeks depending on codebase size.
Audit + Hardening Sprint
Audit first, then a focused 2-week hardening sprint - auth system review, dependency updates, server configuration hardening, and admin access controls.
Ongoing Security Retainer
Monthly: dependency CVE monitoring, quarterly mini-audits, log anomaly review, and emergency incident response. For platforms with continuous development.
Security questions we answer every week.
NDA signed before any access is granted. Everything is confidential.
