Operator-grade
The team that scopes your work in Upper Hutt is the team that runs it. The architects are the operators. Findings come from people who've actually exploited what they're describing — not desk research.
Upper Hutt, New Zealand
Code Security Audit in Upper Hutt.
Independent code security audit for Upper Hutt-based logistics organisations — board-ready reporting mapped to NZ Privacy Act 2020 and NZISM. 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 Upper Hutt logistics.
The logistics concentration around Upper Hutt sees EDI compromise, fuel-card fraud and warehouse-management ransomware. Our code security audit work in Wellington 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 NZ Privacy Act 2020 and NZISM, with GCSB / NCSC NZ guidance cited where it changes the remediation priority. Board reporting follows the CERT NZ Critical Controls expectation set.
LOCAL CONTEXT
Local context.
Basalt delivers code security audit to organisations across Upper Hutt and the wider Wellington region (population ~46k). The logistics sectors that anchor the region face a distinct threat profile — EDI compromise, fuel-card fraud and warehouse-management ransomware — and our engagements are scoped to that, not a generic playbook. Reporting maps cleanly to the NZ Privacy Act 2020 and NZISM that New Zealand boards already use, with regulator context (GCSB / NCSC NZ) called out where it changes a remediation priority.
RATIONALE
Why Basalt for code security audit in Upper Hutt.
New Zealand threat fluency
Local context matters: EDI compromise, fuel-card fraud and warehouse-management ransomware. Basalt's Upper Hutt engagements are scoped to the threat profile of logistics teams in Wellington, not a generic global checklist.
2026 attack surface
Where most regional providers are still testing for 2022 threat models, Basalt actively works agentic AI tool-abuse and indirect prompt injection at scale and identity-first attack chains across federated SaaS in production engagements. Forward-leaning, not theoretical.
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 New Zealand 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 Upper Hutt?
Most Upper Hutt engagements scope inside one week and start within two. Retainer clients can trigger work the same day. We do not pipeline New Zealand clients through junior teams — a senior consultant scopes and runs the work end-to-end.
Do you do code security audit on-site in Upper Hutt or remote?
Both. Sensitive work — classified-adjacent environments, live incident response, OT walkthroughs — gets on-site time in Upper Hutt and the wider Wellington region. Routine assessments and detection engineering run remote with a tight feedback loop.
How does Basalt map findings to New Zealand regulators?
Every finding ships with a control reference against the NZ Privacy Act 2020 and NZISM so your compliance team is not re-mapping our report. Where GCSB / NCSC NZ guidance exists for the specific finding, we cite it inline. Board-level reporting follows the CERT NZ Critical Controls expectation set.
What makes code security audit in Upper Hutt different from a generic engagement?
The logistics sector concentration in Upper Hutt drives a different threat model than a generic New Zealand engagement — EDI compromise, fuel-card fraud and warehouse-management ransomware. 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.
