Secure Handover & Client Code Assurance

Deliver demonstrably secure software to every client—and prove it at handover.

Clients expect the web apps, mobile backends, and cloud architectures you build to pass external pen tests first time. HackGuardX embeds automated security checks across every client project.

Your business is a target. Hackers only need one weakness.

A single cyberattack could cost software dev agencies thousands of pounds, expose sensitive client data, disrupt operations and trigger serious regulatory fines. Hackers don't just target large corporations; automated attacks scan every UK business for an easy way in.

Why software dev agencies are targeted: Development agencies hold administrative credentials and source code for dozens of client systems; a single supply-chain or credential breach cascades across multiple clients.

Peak risk window

Any time an attacker finds one unpatched weakness

UK compliance context

Supports OWASP Top 10, OWASP API Security Top 10, NCSC Secure Development & Deployment guidance, and ISO 27001 secure engineering controls.

The top cyber risks for Software Dev Agencies

High

embarrassing Third-Party Pen Test Failures at Handover

Client-commissioned pen testers finding avoidable SQLi, IDOR, missing security headers, or exposed staging APIs right before launch.

Critical

Cross-Project Credential & Secret Contamination

Contractors or developers accidentally committing client cloud keys or reusing tokens across repositories.

High

Unmaintained Post-Launch Dependencies

Legacy client projects accumulating critical CVEs after launch without an ongoing maintenance visibility tool.

Find your weaknesses before hackers do

HackGuardX continuously scans the digital infrastructure software dev agencies rely on, helping you identify and fix threats before they become costly breaches.

Pre-Launch Automated Web, API & Code Scanning

Catch every common OWASP flaw, header misconfiguration, and cloud gap before the client's external pen testers ever look at the build.

GitHub Org & Contractor Governance

Continuously audit branch protections, secret leaks, and collaborator access across all client repositories.
