Our review
Helps secure backend applications by implementing authentication, encryption, vulnerability scanning, and compliance checks against OWASP threats.
Strengths
- Comprehensive coverage of OWASP Top 10 with concrete code examples
- Integration with scanning tools (SAST, DAST, SCA) and secret detection
- Support for compliance frameworks (GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC2)
- Code examples for authentication, SQL injection prevention, and security headers
Limitations
- Focuses on code-level security, not infrastructure or network
- May require additional configuration for specific environments
- Limited to backend applications as described
When building or auditing backend code for security vulnerabilities, implementing authentication/encryption, or preparing for compliance audits.
For frontend security, network security, or non-software security assessments.

Security Scanning Tools
| Type | Purpose | Tools | |------|---------|-------| | SAST | Static code | SonarQube, Semgrep | | DAST | Dynamic testing | OWASP ZAP, Burp | | SCA | Dependencies | Snyk, Dependabot | | Container | Images | Trivy, Grype | | Secrets | Detection | GitLeaks, TruffleHog |
Examples
Example 1: Secure Authentication
from fastapi import Depends, HTTPException
from fastapi.security import OAuth2PasswordBearer
from passlib.context import CryptContext
from jose import jwt
import secrets
pwd_context = CryptContext(schemes=["bcrypt"], deprecated="auto")
oauth2_scheme = OAuth2PasswordBearer(tokenUrl="token")
def hash_password(password: str) -> str:
return pwd_context.hash(password)
def verify_password(plain: str, hashed: str) -> bool:
return pwd_context.verify(plain, hashed)
def create_token(user_id: str) -> str:
return jwt.encode(
{"sub": user_id, "jti": secrets.token_urlsafe(16)},
SECRET_KEY,
algorithm="HS256"
)
Example 2: SQL Injection Prevention
# BAD - Vulnerable to SQL injection
def get_user_bad(user_id: str):
query = f"SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = '{user_id}'"
return db.execute(query)
# GOOD - Parameterized query
def get_user_good(user_id: str):
query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = :id"
return db.execute(query, {"id": user_id})
Example 3: Security Headers
from fastapi import FastAPI
from starlette.middleware.base import BaseHTTPMiddleware
class SecurityHeadersMiddleware(BaseHTTPMiddleware):
async def dispatch(self, request, call_next):
response = await call_next(request)
response.headers["X-Content-Type-Options"] = "nosniff"
response.headers["X-Frame-Options"] = "DENY"
response.headers["X-XSS-Protection"] = "1; mode=block"
response.headers["Strict-Transport-Security"] = "max-age=31536000"
response.headers["Content-Security-Policy"] = "default-src 'self'"
return response
app = FastAPI()
app.add_middleware(SecurityHeadersMiddleware)
Compliance Checklists
GDPR
- [ ] Lawful basis for processing
- [ ] Data minimization
- [ ] Right to access/deletion
- [ ] Breach notification (72h)
- [ ] DPO if required
PCI-DSS
- [ ] Encrypt cardholder data
- [ ] No CVV storage
- [ ] Access controls
- [ ] Regular testing
- [ ] Audit logging
Troubleshooting
Common Issues
| Issue | Cause | Solution | |-------|-------|----------| | Token expired | Short TTL | Implement refresh tokens | | CORS blocked | Missing headers | Configure CORS properly | | Weak encryption | Old algorithms | Use AES-256, RSA-2048+ | | SQL injection | String concat | Use parameterized queries |
