Andersen assigns dedicated cybersecurity specialists to AppSec engagements, giving clients application security expertise as their systems change.
Application Security as a Service
Andersen delivers application security as a service through vulnerability detection, security testing, code analysis, threat identification, and remediation support. Ongoing coverage helps teams detect risks earlier, prioritize fixes, and protect applications as software evolves.
Application security backed by proven expertise
Andersen's cybersecurity experience spans application and information security, giving clients informed guidance as systems and threats evolve.
The figure spans Andersen's entire software portfolio, not only security work, so AppSec specialists bring practical context to each client's applications, operating conditions, and security priorities.
What you get with application security as a service
Our specialists pair recurring security testing with static code analysis and release-aware checks. As features and code change, results expose weaknesses across development and deployment.
Checks include:
- Analysis of source changes;
- Testing at each release point;
- Retests of unresolved issues.
Andersen provides real-time monitoring for vulnerabilities, configurations, security controls, and security posture. Monitoring signals show security staff where exposure shifts between deployments.
Signals include:
- Vulnerability and exposure changes;
- Configuration and control status;
- Posture across active deployments.
We triage suspicious activity, external attacks, and exploitation attempts. Only validated incidents are escalated, with context, so responders can mitigate threats while avoiding alert fatigue.
Response covers:
- Suspicious application activity;
- Validated exploits and active attacks;
- Incident escalation with mitigation context.
Andersen tracks apps, infrastructure, technology stacks, and the security solutions deployed on each cloud platform. In multicloud environments, each app stays visible to security teams as workloads move or configurations change.
The service tracks:
- Applications across cloud environments;
- Relevant configurations and controls;
- Workload and dependency changes.
Andersen runs the service as a subscription, with scope, reporting, service expectations, and SLAs defined as part of recurring security services. Response targets and other service levels are agreed for each engagement and written into the SLA.
Agreements specify:
- Covered applications and activities;
- Reporting and communication;
- SLAs and service governance.

Cybersecurity expertise and certifications
Andersen's security professionals hold OSCP, CEH, GWAPT, CREST, CISSP, and CISM credentials. As an ISO/IEC 27001- and SOC 2-audited company, Andersen keeps client data under audited controls, which supports clients' own security audits.
Benefits of application security as a service
Reduce application security risk
Risk reviews tied to code and infrastructure changes help security analysts address exploitable weaknesses before they contribute to incidents or data breaches.
Detect vulnerabilities earlier
By placing recurring checks in the development process, Andersen gives developers actionable findings sooner and reduces disruption from late fixes during deployment.
Maintain continuous security visibility
As features, dependencies, and configurations change, Andersen tracks application posture so security leaders can see emerging issues and preserve customer trust.
When application security as a service makes sense
Andersen supplies recurring AppSec support when organizations need dependable security coverage, helping teams maintain protection as applications and priorities change.
Launching an application security program
A new AppSec program needs clear ownership, baseline controls, and scheduled reviews. Andersen helps set them up, establishing a workable security foundation without delaying application development.
Scaling security across application portfolios
For expanding portfolios and legacy systems, Andersen applies consistent practices so security owners can assess risk across software products and close protection gaps.
Supporting fast-changing applications
When release pace is high, Andersen tracks feature changes and new threats so teams can keep security measures relevant through frequent deployments.
Filling application security expertise gaps
Where internal capacity is limited, Andersen supplies specialist AppSec expertise to validate reported issues and mitigate risk while the organization retains security ownership.
Integrating security into development workflows
Andersen's DevSecOps integration adds automated checks to CI/CD pipelines, so developers integrate security directly into their daily work and identify vulnerabilities before deployment.
Testimonials
Clients describe Andersen teams building secure messaging and file-sharing products, supporting an ISO 13485 audit, and running QA and IT support. Our AppSec specialists apply the same discipline to protect client applications.
