Secure API & Code Review for High‑Stakes Web & Shopify Projects in the US

Stralya’s Secure API & Code Review service is designed for US organisations that cannot afford security incidents, checkout failures, or unreliable code. Our senior engineers audit your APIs and codebase end-to-end, uncover vulnerabilities, remove technical debt, and deliver a clear remediation roadmap so your digital products and Shopify ecommerce experiences stay fast, robust, and secure in production.

Service scope

What is included in Stralya’s Secure API & Code Review?

This service is a structured, time-bound engagement focused on assessing and strengthening the security, reliability, and maintainability of your APIs and cloud-native codebase. It is particularly suited to organisations in the US preparing for scale, investment, regulatory scrutiny, or significant web and Shopify website development initiatives.

Core deliverables you receive

Comprehensive mapping of your API surface and critical code paths, including flows that support web and Shopify website design experiences.
Identification and classification of security vulnerabilities across APIs, backend and frontend components, and any connected ecommerce or Shopify web development services.
Analysis of authentication, authorisation, session management, and data access controls, with special attention to customer and payment data in ecommerce contexts.
Review of input validation, error handling, logging, and rate limiting strategies to keep your web applications and Shopify website developers’ implementations resilient under load.
Assessment of dependency management, third-party integrations, and supply chain risks, including plugins, themes, and apps used in Shopify custom app development.
Evaluation of cloud configuration for your web workloads on AWS, Azure, or GCP, and how this affects hosted ecommerce or Shopify website development services.
Clear, prioritised report with severity levels, technical details, and business impact per finding so non-technical leaders understand the risk to revenue and brand.
Developer-ready remediation recommendations and suggested implementation patterns that your engineers—or external Shopify ecommerce development company partners—can adopt quickly.

Optional add-ons

Hands-on implementation of remediation items by Stralya’s senior engineers, covering both custom platforms and Shopify web development projects.
Continuous security review as part of a long-term maintenance and evolution SLA, complementing your existing web or Shopify website design services.
Pre-launch security readiness review for new product releases, major feature rollouts, or new Shopify website design packages before they go live.
Developer coaching sessions to align your internal team with secure coding best practices, including patterns relevant to API-first architectures and Shopify custom app development.
Integration of security checks into your CI/CD pipelines for ongoing protection, ensuring your web and Shopify web development workflows catch issues early.
Every engagement is tailored to your context: the sensitivity of your data, your regulatory exposure, and the maturity of your engineering team. We only accept projects where we can maintain our standards of quality and deliver tangible value to your organisation, whether you are running complex internal systems, high-traffic marketing sites, or mission-critical Shopify website design implementations.

Key benefits for your organisation in the US

Reduced security and compliance risk
Identify and address vulnerabilities before they are exploited. Our review helps you align with international security expectations, investor due diligence, and US regulatory requirements affecting digital platforms and ecommerce operations, including those built with shopify web development services.
More stable, high-performance applications
By uncovering architectural weaknesses and hidden bottlenecks, we help your team improve performance, resilience, and scalability—critical for customer-facing platforms, high-traffic Shopify website design projects, and other demanding use cases in the US market.
Clear roadmap instead of vague recommendations
You receive a concrete, prioritised remediation plan, not just a list of problems. This allows your leadership and engineering teams to make informed decisions and allocate resources efficiently across web platforms, APIs, and any ongoing Shopify web design and development initiatives.
A long-term, accountable partner
Stralya’s mission is to secure and deliver complex web projects. Our Secure API & Code Review is often the first step in building a long-term, trust-based partnership around your most strategic digital assets, from core business platforms to revenue-driving Shopify website design services.

How we work

A structured, senior-led review – from discovery to remediation plan

Our Secure API & Code Review is delivered as a focused, fixed-price engagement. We start by understanding your architecture and business priorities, then perform a combination of automated and manual analysis before consolidating findings into a clear, prioritised action plan your team can execute—or we can implement for you as part of broader web or Shopify web development services.

We begin with a working session with your CTO, technical lead, or product owner to understand your application, business flows, ecommerce funnel, compliance constraints, and risk appetite. We review existing documentation, architecture diagrams, deployment pipelines, and relevant Shopify website design implementations to align the review with your real-world priorities.
Our engineers map your API endpoints, services, and key modules. We identify critical paths such as authentication, payments, data exports, admin interfaces, and third-party integrations, including Shopify custom app development where relevant. This allows us to focus effort where a breach or failure would be most damaging.
We run carefully selected security and static analysis tools against your repositories and environments. This helps us quickly detect common vulnerabilities, outdated dependencies, insecure configurations, and code quality issues, which we then validate manually to avoid false positives and highlight areas that impact your web or Shopify website development services.
Senior engineers manually inspect sensitive areas: authentication and authorisation flows, input validation, data access layers, error handling, API rate limiting, and cloud configuration. For ecommerce and Shopify website design services, we also focus on checkout flows, payment integrations, and customer data handling. We look for logical flaws, insecure patterns, and hidden coupling that automated tools cannot see.
Each finding is assessed based on exploitability, potential impact, and likelihood in your specific context. We classify items by severity and effort, so your leadership can make informed trade-offs between speed, cost, and risk reduction—whether you are running a SaaS platform, a high-traffic Shopify website design, or a broader digital ecosystem.
You receive a structured report, developer-ready tickets, and a recommended remediation roadmap. We can support your internal team during implementation, or take ownership of fixes under a separate fixed-price or maintenance engagement, often combined with ongoing web or Shopify website development services for long-term stability.

Popular Questions

Find Commonly Asked Questions

This service is designed for startups, scale-ups, SMEs, large enterprises, and public-sector organisations in the US that operate critical web applications, APIs, or ecommerce platforms. Typical stakeholders include CTOs, CIOs, Heads of Engineering, Digital Transformation leaders, and ecommerce owners who need independent, senior validation of their codebase or Shopify web development services before a major launch, audit, or scale-up.
We focus on modern, cloud-native web applications and APIs running on AWS, Azure, or GCP. Our team regularly works with TypeScript, Node.js, React, Next.js, NestJS, PHP/Laravel, Python/Django or FastAPI, containerised or serverless architectures, and leading ecommerce stacks such as Shopify website developers’ setups. If your stack is different—or you work with a specific Shopify ecommerce development company—we assess fit during the initial call and only accept engagements where we can maintain our quality standards.
No. A Secure API & Code Review is complementary to penetration testing. While a penetration test focuses on externally observable behaviour, our service goes inside the code and architecture to identify structural weaknesses, insecure patterns, and long-term risks. We often work alongside your penetration testing provider or help you prepare for a formal pen test on your web platform or Shopify website design.
Timelines depend on the size and complexity of your codebase and the number of APIs in scope. For a focused review of a core application, engagements typically range from one to three weeks. During scoping, we define a clear timeline and milestones so you know exactly when to expect findings and the final report—even if the review includes complex ecommerce or Shopify web design and development components.
Yes, if you wish. Many clients in the US ask Stralya not only to identify issues but also to take ownership of remediation. We can implement fixes under a separate fixed-price project or as part of a longer-term maintenance and evolution engagement, always with clear scope, estimates, and acceptance criteria—for both custom platforms and Shopify web development projects.
We work on a fixed-price basis for Secure API & Code Review engagements. After an initial discovery call and a quick review of your repositories and architecture, we define a precise scope and provide a fixed proposal that includes deliverables, timelines, and assumptions. We do not bill by the day; we commit to an outcome, similar to how leading Shopify website design packages and web development engagements are structured.
