Senior-led delivery
Every Here East engagement is led by a senior consultant — no junior pipelines, no resold capacity. British clients deal directly with the operators doing the work.
Here East, United Kingdom
Code Security Audit in Here East.
For tech teams across London / Stratford innovation campus, code security audit only generates value when it's mapped to the regulatory environment you actually operate in — NCSC Cyber Assessment Framework and UK GDPR. Basalt scopes every engagement to that bar. Manual and tooled code review across your highest-risk repos — secrets, auth, injection, deserialisation and supply-chain risk, with CI integration that keeps findings from coming back.
85% of findings ship with a working patch suggestion — across Basalt operations in the past 12 months.
THREAT VECTOR
Threats facing Here East tech.
The tech, media, research concentration around Here East sees CI/CD supply chain compromise, OAuth token theft and AI/LLM prompt injection at scale. Our code security audit work in London / Stratford innovation campus is scoped against this real threat profile, not a generic checklist.
Common pains
- Tools that report thousands of low-quality findings
- No clear ownership for fixing vulnerabilities in code
- Supply-chain risk in third-party dependencies
ENGAGEMENT
How we engage.
- Manual review of high-risk code paths
- SAST + SCA integrated into CI with quality gates
- Threat model per service or repository
- Developer-grade fix guidance with sample patches
Reporting
Every finding ships with a control reference against NCSC Cyber Assessment Framework and UK GDPR, with NCSC UK guidance cited where it changes the remediation priority. Board reporting follows the FCA SYSC operational resilience expectation set.
LOCAL CONTEXT
Local context.
Basalt delivers code security audit to organisations across Here East and the wider London / Stratford innovation campus region (population ~8k). The tech, media, research sectors that anchor the region face a distinct threat profile — CI/CD supply chain compromise, OAuth token theft and AI/LLM prompt injection at scale — and our engagements are scoped to that, not a generic playbook. Reporting maps cleanly to the NCSC Cyber Assessment Framework and UK GDPR that British boards already use, with regulator context (NCSC UK) called out where it changes a remediation priority.
RATIONALE
Why Basalt for code security audit in Here East.
Mapped to United Kingdom context
Findings and roadmaps reference the regulatory environment your business actually operates in — NCSC Cyber Assessment Framework and UK GDPR. Board-level reporting follows the FCA SYSC operational resilience expectation set, so what we deliver lands without translation.
On the frontier
We actively research and test agentic AI tool-abuse and indirect prompt injection at scale, MCP server and AI-tool supply chain compromise and post-quantum cryptographic readiness (NIST PQC migration) — attack paths most regional providers still haven't mapped. Forward-thinking cyber defence, not last year's playbook.
2026 THREAT LANDSCAPE
What we test for.
- Agentic AI tool-abuse and indirect prompt injection at scale
- MCP server and AI-tool supply chain compromise
- Post-quantum cryptographic readiness (NIST PQC migration)
- Identity-first attack chains across federated SaaS
- Open-source software supply chain (post-xz, post-tj-actions)
Cyber security in United Kingdom can't be done with last year's threat models. The Basalt practice runs against current attacker tradecraft — agentic AI abuse, MCP and AI-tool supply chain, post-quantum readiness — alongside the legacy infrastructure work that still keeps most organisations awake at night.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
How fast can Basalt start a code security audit engagement in Here East?
Most Here East engagements scope inside one week and start within two. Retainer clients can trigger work the same day. We do not pipeline British clients through junior teams — a senior consultant scopes and runs the work end-to-end.
Do you do code security audit on-site in Here East or remote?
Both. Sensitive work — classified-adjacent environments, live incident response, OT walkthroughs — gets on-site time in Here East and the wider London / Stratford innovation campus region. Routine assessments and detection engineering run remote with a tight feedback loop.
How does Basalt map findings to British regulators?
Every finding ships with a control reference against the NCSC Cyber Assessment Framework and UK GDPR so your compliance team is not re-mapping our report. Where NCSC UK guidance exists for the specific finding, we cite it inline. Board-level reporting follows the FCA SYSC operational resilience expectation set.
What makes code security audit in Here East different from a generic engagement?
The tech sector concentration in Here East drives a different threat model than a generic British engagement — CI/CD supply chain compromise, OAuth token theft and AI/LLM prompt injection at scale. Our scoping reflects that, and so does the test library we bring to the work.
Is Basalt set up for AI-era threats, not just legacy infrastructure?
Yes — this is core to how we work. Basalt actively researches and tests against agentic AI tool-abuse and indirect prompt injection at scale, MCP server and AI-tool supply chain compromise and identity-first attack chains across federated SaaS. Most regional providers haven't mapped these attack paths; we run them in production against client systems with explicit scope.
