Security updates
We track new vulnerabilities in the frameworks and components your software uses, and we apply the updates.
Software built securely. Supported for the long term.
We design and build applications, integrations and internal tools for your business. Security is part of every stage, from the first design decision to each release. After launch, we keep your software secure, up to date and working.
Secure development
Security is part of the build, not a final check.
Elmfort is a cybersecurity specialist first. We apply the same standards to the software we build that we apply to the systems we protect. Each stage of development has its own security controls, so problems are found when they are cheapest to fix.
What you receive
- Architecture and threat model documentation
- A security test summary for each release
- An inventory of the third-party components in your software
- Source code, documentation and pipelines that you own
This evidence helps when your clients or auditors ask how your software is secured.
-
Design
We model the threats to your application and design access, data protection and logging to address them.
-
Build
We follow secure coding standards based on OWASP guidance. A second engineer reviews every code change.
-
Verify
Automated checks scan each change for vulnerable dependencies, exposed secrets and insecure code.
-
Release
We security-test each release before it goes live, through a pipeline with least-privilege access.
Ongoing support
Launch is the start, not the end.
New vulnerabilities appear in software components every week, and your business needs change. Our support service keeps your software secure, current and reliable after launch. We agree the scope, support hours and response times in your service agreement before go-live.
Fixes and improvements
An agreed monthly capacity for fixes, small changes and improvements, prioritised with you.
Monitoring
We watch errors, performance and availability, so we can act on problems before your users report them.
Long-term maintenance
We keep the platform, runtime and dependencies on supported versions, so the software does not age into a risk.
Want us to host it too? We can host and operate your software on infrastructure that we manage to the same security standards. Managed Cloud
Want independent assurance? Managed Cyber Resilience includes application security assurance as part of your wider security programme. Security Assurance
Working with your team
Already have developers? We make them faster and safer.
We can work alongside your in-house or outsourced development team. We help them build security into every stage of development and adopt AI-assisted, agentic ways of working with the right controls in place.
Build security into how your team works.
We review how your team designs, builds, tests and releases software. Then we help you close the gaps, one practical step at a time.
- An assessment of your current development practices
- Threat modelling built into your design process
- Security checks in your build and release pipelines
- Dependency, secrets and code scanning on every change
- Secure code review practices and developer training
- Measures that show your progress over time
Help your developers work with AI agents.
AI coding assistants and agents can multiply what your team delivers. We help you adopt them in a way that keeps your code, data and systems secure.
- Selection and rollout of AI coding tools and agents
- Workflows that let agents plan, build and test changes
- Guardrails: permissions, sandboxes and human review
- Protection for secrets, source code and customer data
- Quality checks on AI-generated code
- Training and coaching for your developers
Projects
What we build, and how we deliver it.
We build software that solves a specific business problem. We scope each project against your processes, your integrations, the risk and the expected value.
Business applications
Custom web applications for processes that off-the-shelf software does not fit.
Integrations and APIs
Connections between your business systems, so data moves without manual re-entry.
Internal tools
Portals, dashboards and workflow tools that remove spreadsheets and repetitive admin.
Modernisation
Updates to ageing applications, so they are maintainable, supported and secure again.
Adding AI to an application? See AI implementation for agents, automation and AI integrations.
We deliver in phases with agreed outcomes. You see progress regularly and can change priorities between iterations. We do not publish standard project prices, because scope differs for each organisation.
-
Discovery
We agree the problem, the users, the success measures and the constraints.
-
Design
We design the architecture, the data, the access model and the integrations.
-
Build
We deliver in short iterations, so you see working software early and often.
-
Test
We test functions, performance and security before each release.
-
Release
We deploy through an automated pipeline, with a clear rollback plan.
