Launch Week Day 1: Announcing Security Design Review

Security Design Review

Catch design risk before a line of code is written.

Corgea reviews every design, ticket, and spec for security risk — grounded against your real codebase — so flaws are caught at the design stage instead of in production.

How it works

From every design surface to actionable security recommendations.

Corgea pulls in the designs, tickets, and docs your teams already write, reasons over them against your repository, and hands back prioritized, design-stage recommendations.

Recommendations

Authentication Critical

Define an auth boundary for the internal issue APIs

New internal endpoints are reachable without any authentication mechanism described.

Authorization High

Add role checks to triage and risk-acceptance changes

High-impact fields can be modified without role-based approval controls.

Data Protection Critical

Encrypt sensitive fields before the analytics boundary

PII crosses a trust boundary into analytics without encryption in transit.

Input Validation Medium

Sanitize scan-provided fields rendered in templates

Ingested scan context is shown in templates and may enable stored XSS.

Why Corgea

Product security that scales with AI-driven development.

Move from reactive vulnerability-chasing to proactive, design-led security — without slowing builders down.

Catch risk at the design stage

Find broken auth, exposed data, and missing trust boundaries while they are still a proposal — before a single line of code is written.

Grounded in your real repo

Every recommendation is checked against how your codebase actually works — its frameworks, auth, and security patterns — not generic best practice.

Reviews in minutes, not days

Engineering never waits in a queue for security. Tickets and specs are reviewed automatically the moment they are written.

Cover 100% of changes

Stop sampling by risk because of headcount. Every design, ticket, and doc gets a consistent, high-quality review.

Lives in the tools you already use

Connects to Confluence, Notion, Google Docs, Jira, and your source control so reviews happen where work already happens.

Built for the agentic SDLC

As coding agents accelerate how fast designs ship, Corgea scales security review to keep pace without becoming the bottleneck.

What it checks

A complete review of design-level risk, grounded in your code.

Security Design Review checks for the risks a proposed design introduces or implies, then validates each one against the existing repo.

01

In the proposed design

Every design, ticket, and spec is read for the risks a change introduces or implies.

  • Design components & services Maps the services and components in scope and how they interact, so risk is judged in context.
  • Authentication & authorization flows Reviews how identity, sessions, and permission checks are designed across the flow.
  • Sensitive data flows Traces where PII, secrets, and regulated data move, rest, and change hands.
  • External integrations & third parties Flags risk introduced by the vendors, APIs, and services the design depends on.
  • Trust boundaries Identifies where trust changes hands and whether each crossing is properly enforced.
  • Public vs. internal APIs Separates internet-facing surface from internal-only paths and the controls each one needs.
  • Storage & persistence of data Checks how and where data is stored, encrypted, retained, and accessed.
  • Explicit security requirements Validates the design against the security requirements stated for the feature.
02

Grounded against your repo

Each finding is checked against how your codebase actually works today, not generic best practice.

  • Frameworks in use Grounds findings in the real frameworks and language stack of your codebase.
  • Auth implementation Compares the proposed design to how authentication actually works in your repo today.
  • Security middleware & patterns Reuses the guardrails, middleware, and patterns your code already relies on.
  • Sensitive-data handling Accounts for how your code already handles secrets and sensitive data.
  • Security-relevant dependencies Considers the security libraries and dependencies already in your project.
  • Existing policies Applies your organization's encoded policies and standards to every review.
  • Known gaps Factors in the weaknesses and gaps already known in your codebase.

Security design review questions teams ask

What is a security design review?

A security design review evaluates a proposed feature, ticket, or spec for the security risks it introduces or implies — things like authentication and authorization flows, sensitive data flows, trust boundaries, and external integrations — before the work is built.

How is Corgea different from threat modeling?

Like threat modeling, Corgea focuses on the design stage. But instead of requiring teams to hand-build diagrams, it reads the designs, tickets, and docs you already write and grounds every finding against your actual repository, so reviews happen automatically and at the speed of development.

What does grounding against the repo mean?

Corgea reads your existing codebase to understand its frameworks, how authentication is implemented, which security middleware and patterns are in place, how sensitive data is handled, and what gaps are already known. Recommendations reflect your real system instead of generic advice.

Which tools does it connect to?

Security Design Review ingests design context from sources like Confluence, Notion, Google Docs, Jira, GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps, Bitbucket, Harness, and Cursor, and surfaces recommendations where your teams already work.

How fast are reviews?

Reviews complete in minutes rather than the days a manual design review can take, so security keeps pace with engineering instead of blocking releases.

Does this replace my product security team?

No. It scales them. Corgea automates the repetitive review work so your security architects can focus on the highest-impact decisions while every change still gets a consistent review.
