Application security that finds and fixes weaknesses in web and mobile apps, and builds secure habits into development.
About Application Security
Application security focuses on the code and design of the software you build or buy. Typical risks include broken access control, injection flaws, insecure data storage and vulnerable third-party libraries.
Fixing problems late is costly. Reviewing designs, checking code and testing before release finds issues earlier, while training and checklists help developers avoid repeating them.
What is included in Application Security
The typical building blocks. Scope is agreed with you in writing and tailored to your situation.
Threat modelling
Thinking through how an attacker could abuse the application.
Code and dependency review
Looking for insecure patterns and vulnerable libraries.
Security testing
Testing the running application for common weaknesses.
Authentication and session review
Checking login, roles and session handling.
Remediation guidance
Clear fixes with priority and effort.
Secure development practices
Checklists and pipeline checks for the future.
Why teams choose Application Security
Fewer vulnerabilities in production
Issues are found before attackers find them.
Protection of customer data
Access control and data handling are checked.
Developer confidence
Teams know what secure looks like.
This is a good fit if
- You are about to launch a customer-facing app.
- Customers ask for evidence of testing.
- You use many third-party libraries.
Does this sound familiar?
Unknown exposure across sites, servers and mailboxes
Shared passwords and no MFA
Slow, manual response to incidents

Technology we typically work with
Six stages, the same every time
You always know which stage you are in and what comes next.
- Stage 1
Discover
Workshops and stakeholder interviews to define goals and constraints.
- Stage 2
Assess
Current-state review of systems, data, security and spend.
- Stage 3
Architect
Target design, integration map and phased plan with owners.
- Stage 4
Implement
Build in short releases with demos, tests and staging sign-off.
- Stage 5
Optimize
Measure against agreed KPIs and tune performance and cost.
- Stage 6
Manage
Monitoring, support and a monthly review with an account manager.
Security and governance
How the work is kept safe and accountable.
- Findings reported with evidence and severity
- Partner credentials shown only when verified
- Data handling aligned to client contracts
Industries we have worked in
Ways to work together
Scope and price are confirmed in writing by a consultant after discovery.
Assessment
A fixed-scope review that ends in a written roadmap you can keep, with or without us.
- Current-state review
- Ranked priorities
- Written roadmap
Project
Defined scope, milestones and acceptance criteria for building or migrating something specific.
- Phased plan with owners
- Short releases and demos
- Handover and training
Managed
A monthly retainer once it is live: monitoring, support and a regular review.
- Monitoring and backups
- Named account manager
- Monthly review
What clients say about working with us
We asked for help with Application Security and expected a sales pitch. They asked about our goals before talking about tools. We would happily work with them again.
Choosing a partner for Application Security was a big decision for us. They explained the options in plain words and let us decide. We always knew where things stood.
We needed Application Security and did not have the time to figure it out ourselves. They asked about our goals before talking about tools. Handover was thorough and our people could run it afterwards.
We came in unsure where to start with Application Security. They explained the options in plain words and let us decide. It felt like working with our own team.
Our Application Security project had stalled before we called Bedre. The work was split into small steps we could review. The result was simple to explain to everyone.
Choosing a partner for Application Security was a big decision for us. The plan was clear enough to share with our board. We would happily work with them again.
It can include testing of the running application. The depth and method are agreed in the scope.
Testing is planned and authorised in writing, often on a staging copy to avoid disruption.
We can recommend fixes and, where agreed, help implement them.
It depends on scope. The Assess stage produces a timeline you can review before committing.
You do. Domains, cloud accounts and data stay in your name wherever possible.
Usually yes. The Architect stage lists connectors and any limits.
