Product Security Assessment Services
Threat
Led by realistic attack paths
Expert
Manual testing and validation
Prioritized
Findings ranked by product risk
Actionable
Clear remediation roadmap
The assessment goes beyond a one-off product pentest. It connects attack paths across design, code, cloud, dependencies, and delivery workflows. This helps your team fix immediate findings and reduce the conditions that create repeat vulnerabilities.
What it is
What is a product security assessment?
It reviews how software is designed, built, deployed, and operated. Scope may combine threat modeling, manual penetration testing, secure code review, cloud review, and SDLC analysis to uncover exploitable issues and their underlying causes.
Product-wide
Architecture, application behavior, infrastructure, and development practices
Defined scope
Agree workstreams, access, safety limits, and delivery dates before testing
Coverage
What we assess
01
Architecture & design
Threat modeling of your system to find design-level weaknesses before they ship.
02
Application & API security
Manual pentesting of your product's attack surface, beyond the OWASP Top 10.
03
Source code
Secure code review of high-risk components to catch flaws black-box testing can't reach.
04
Cloud & infrastructure
Configuration, identity, and privilege review across AWS, Azure, or GCP.
05
SDLC & DevSecOps
How security is (or isn't) built into your pipeline, dependencies, and release process.
06
Data protection
How sensitive and customer data is stored, encrypted, and access-controlled.
Beyond a pentest
Why product security beats a one-off pentest
A pentest reviews the running application. A product security assessment also examines design, code, infrastructure, and delivery practices to reduce recurring risk at the source.
Method
Our assessment methodology
Product assurance
Standards-led testing. CRA-ready evidence.
We use standards relevant to the product and its market, then translate technical findings into evidence your engineering, risk, and compliance teams can use.
OWASP SAMM
Software assurance maturity across governance, design, implementation, and verification.
OWASP ASVS
Application security verification requirements for relevant product components.
Sector standards
IEC 62443, ETSI EN 303 645, and other product-specific requirements where applicable.
Cyber Resilience Act readiness
Blaze can assess technical and lifecycle controls relevant to CRA readiness and map confirmed gaps into practical remediation evidence. This supports conformity work; it does not certify compliance.
- Product risk assessment and threat modeling
- Secure-by-design and secure-by-default controls
- Vulnerability handling, SBOM, and dependency risk
- Security updates, support periods, and post-market processes
- Findings mapped into usable technical evidence

Triggers
When you need a product security assessment
Before a major release or re-architecture
Catch design-level risk before it ships instead of patching after.
When customers demand deeper assurance
Enterprise and regulated buyers often require deeper assurance than a standard pentest provides.
When the same bugs keep recurring
If the same classes of flaw return release after release, the process needs review.
Ahead of a raise or acquisition
Security posture affects valuation and diligence outcomes.
Frequently asked questions
A pentest attacks a defined running system. A product security assessment adds threat modeling, code review, architecture, and SDLC analysis to explain why vulnerabilities recur and how to reduce the underlying risk.
Scope may include threat modeling, application and API testing, secure code review, cloud and infrastructure analysis, SDLC review, and data protection. Deliverables include prioritized findings and a remediation roadmap.
Threat modeling maps components, data flows, trust boundaries, and realistic attacker goals. It helps focus testing and code review on the paths most likely to create material business impact.
Secure code review is a manual examination of high-risk source code for flaws that external testing may not reveal, including unsafe authorization, data handling, and injection paths.
Timing depends on product size, codebase, and the domains included. Blaze confirms the workstreams, sequence, and delivery dates during scoping.
