Hello there, Just looking for a few different companies anyone knows of or have used who are able to check over some scripts and see if there are any exploits they can find for it. I've got some software getting developed and would like to have it double checked to make sure it's secure. Thanks in advance. Jake.

Other than AVs, exploit detection is related with the environment and apps in use. There is no a generic solution, but there are common methods to be followed. For example you could easily detect files altered and log the dates/times then cross-reference the code and see if they were valid modifications or not. Code in a script can look 100% legitimate and still have a security hole that allows others to exploit it. And it's impossible to have software that detects side effects otherwise you would have software without bugs in the first place.
