Resolve Java vulnerabilities with tested upgrades and clear evidence
Turn dependency and framework findings into prioritized changes. Establish a baseline, validate upgrades and document remaining risks so your team can make informed release decisions.

- Evidence
- Comparable scans, validation results and residual risks.
Address findings without losing sight of application behaviour
Establish the baseline
Build a software bill of materials from the resolved dependencies. Record scanner versions, scope and advisory data so later results can be interpreted correctly.
Prioritize applicable findings
Review affected components and available fixes alongside how the application uses them. Identify compatibility constraints, mitigation options and findings that need further investigation.
Upgrade in manageable phases
Group changes around their dependencies and release requirements. Add tests where coverage is weak and separate larger framework migrations where necessary.
Validate and record the outcome
Re-scan the agreed dependency population and run relevant regression, integration and smoke tests. Document remaining findings and any testing limitations.
Evidence your engineering and security teams can use
The baseline is the first iteration of the work, billed like the rest against the written ballpark. Dependency remediation does not replace a full security assessment.
First iteration: baseline and priorities
A dependency inventory or SBOM, scan results, applicability notes and a prioritized remediation plan, with the plan for the first upgrade phase and the access and validation it needs.
Implementation: changes and decisions
The agreed code and dependency updates, test results, a comparable re-scan and release guidance. Remaining risks include available mitigations, blockers and the next decision needed.
From report to a reviewed release
Scope the findings
Review the report or dependency inventory, affected applications and release constraints. Agree access, data handling and the fee for the baseline.
Plan the upgrades
Map dependencies and available fixes. Identify testing gaps and decide which changes can be released together.
Implement and test
Make the agreed updates, compare baseline behaviour and exercise the affected workflows. Record issues that need further work or an explicit risk decision.
Re-scan and hand over
Document the scan scope, validation results, remaining findings and release or recovery instructions. Agree ownership of follow-up actions.
Planning the engagement
Can you close every finding in our pen-test report?
This service focuses on Java dependencies and framework changes. Findings involving authorization, business logic, infrastructure or other security controls may require separate work. We establish which findings are in scope before quoting.
Will the vulnerability count reach zero?
That depends on applicable advisories, available fixes and upgrade constraints. We report what changed and what remains, including mitigations and decisions needed. Scanner totals alone do not establish whether an application is secure.
How do you check for regressions?
We compare baseline results and add targeted integration, regression and smoke tests for affected workflows. We document coverage gaps and unresolved failures. A matching test count alone does not prove that all behaviour is unchanged.
Do you need production access?
Dependency analysis can usually begin with source, build configuration and a suitable test environment. Validation needs depend on the application and its integrations. Any further access is agreed with your team.
What if a fix needs a major framework upgrade?
We assess the compatibility and testing work, then propose a separate modernization phase where needed. Findings blocked by that upgrade remain visible with their mitigation and delivery dependencies.
How long does remediation take?
For an accessible build, a baseline and initial plan may fit within the first week, with a first scoped upgrade phase often taking 2 to 4 weeks. Missing tests, integrations or framework changes can extend this; we confirm the schedule after reviewing the application.
