Secure Code Review
The control PCI DSS names and auditors sample: code reviewed for security before release. Done as tool-only it misses design flaws; done as human-only it does not scale. The workable model is layered — automation for breadth, seniors for depth.
Tool-assisted, human-decided
SAST provides systematic coverage of every commit; senior reviewers focus on what tools cannot judge — auth design, crypto choices, tenant isolation, business-logic abuse paths.
Review that leaves evidence
Auditors do not accept "we review code" — they sample changes and ask for records. Review findings, dispositions and approvals need to live somewhere provable; SigmaReview reports are built to be that evidence.
How SigmaReview runs it
Automated static analysis in the development workflow plus CERT-In empanelled senior review for high-risk changes and periodic deep passes, reported audit-ready and mapped to OWASP, PCI and ISO expectations.
Where code review fits your compliance
PCI DSS 6.2.3 (review before release, by someone other than the author) and 6.2.4; ISO 27001 A.8.28/A.8.29; SOC 2 CC8.1 change-management sampling.
FAQ
Does PCI DSS require manual code review?
It requires review before release by individuals other than the author, knowledgeable in secure coding — tool-assisted review satisfies it when a qualified human owns the disposition; pure unreviewed scanner output does not.
What should trigger a deep manual review?
Auth and session changes, payment flows, crypto, tenant-isolation logic, and anything touching data the regulator cares about — risk-triggered depth on top of always-on breadth.
Can you review a codebase we inherited?
Yes — a baseline deep review plus SAST onboarding is the standard path for acquired or legacy codebases heading into an audit.
