Built by Engineers, for Engineers

Team certifications

Security Reviewer is an Italian innovative software company from Tuscany, born in 2015, owning Patents and using dedicated algorithms including the Dynamic Syntax Tree.

In the landscape of software engineering, the development of parsers remains a cornerstone — critical for interpreting and processing the programming languages behind modern and legacy applications. Programming languages are not static; they evolve over time, and new language versions bring syntax changes that parsers must continuously adapt to.

Our company is built around a small, tight-knit team of talented software engineers, architects, and quality assurance professionals who have produced outstanding Application Security solutions since 2001.

Our Mission

We believe that security should be built in — not bolted on. By integrating seamlessly into your development workflow, Security Reviewer helps teams ship secure code faster, reduce remediation costs, and maintain compliance with the world's leading security standards.
