Security Reviews

Python Web Application Security Review

We review Python web applications, especially Django-style deployments, for practical security risks in settings, secrets, dependencies, deployment, web server configuration and operational processes.

When this helps

Relevant security problems this service is built for

A Python or Django application is live but needs a production security review
Secrets, environment variables, debug settings or deployment workflows may be risky
The app uses NGINX, Gunicorn/uWSGI, databases, Redis or background jobs
You want practical fixes rather than abstract security theory

What we do

Focused work for python web application security review

Review production settings, secrets handling, debug exposure and deployment assumptions
Check web server, app server, static/media files and permissions
Review dependency management, environment variables and operational risks
Provide a prioritised action plan and optional remediation

What we check

Specific checks before changing production

Django DEBUG, ALLOWED_HOSTS, SECRET_KEY handling and settings separation where relevant
Gunicorn/uWSGI, NGINX reverse proxy, TLS, headers and static/media file handling
Dependencies, virtualenv/container setup, environment variables and exposed files
Database, Redis/cache, Celery/background job and backup assumptions
Admin access, session/cookie settings, CSRF/CORS configuration and logging

Deliverables

What you receive

Python web application security findings
Prioritised production hardening checklist
Recommended configuration and deployment changes
Optional implementation of agreed fixes

FAQ

Python Web Application Security Review FAQ

Common questions before starting security review work.

Do you review Django applications?

Yes. Django settings, deployment configuration, secrets, admin exposure, static/media handling, database/cache connections and production hardening are a strong fit.

Can you review Flask or FastAPI too?

Yes, provided the scope is clear. We can review common Python web deployment risks across Flask, FastAPI and custom Python apps.

Is this a full code audit?

Not by default. It is a practical security review of the application and deployment. Deeper code review can be scoped separately.

Can you fix deployment security issues?

Yes. We can help with NGINX, Gunicorn/uWSGI, systemd, Docker, environment variables, headers, TLS and safer deployment workflows.

How much does Python web app security review work cost?

Python web application security review work usually starts from $499 depending on access, framework and scope.

After the fix

Reduce the chance of the same issue returning.

After a fixed-scope issue is resolved, we can also help with monitoring, backups, restore testing, security hardening or ongoing infrastructure support where it makes sense.
