Code & Environment Audit
Technical health checks that find problems while they are still cheap. Security, performance, and architecture reviews.
The Value
Know Where
You Stand
Whether you're inheriting a legacy codebase, preparing for scale, or just want a second opinion, the audit tells you where you actually stand.
Automated scanners are part of it, but most of the value comes from someone reading the code and asking why it ended up like that.
What You'll Know After Our Audit:
- Your Biggest Risks
Security, performance, and stability issues prioritised by impact.
- Your Technical Debt
What's slowing you down and what to tackle first.
- What's Working Well
Strengths to build on and patterns to replicate.
- Clear Next Steps
Recommendations specific enough for your team to pick up on Monday.
Scope
What We Examine
Six areas, reviewed by hand as well as by tooling.
Security Vulnerabilities
From OWASP Top 10 to configuration issues and dependency risks.
- Authentication & authorisation
- Input validation & sanitisation
- Dependency vulnerabilities
- Secrets management
Performance Bottlenecks
Database queries, API response times, memory leaks, and resource usage.
- Slow queries & N+1 problems
- Memory & CPU profiling
- Caching opportunities
- Load handling capacity
Architectural Concerns
Coupling, scalability limits, and single points of failure.
- Component coupling
- Scalability constraints
- Single points of failure
- Data flow & dependencies
Technical Debt
Code quality, testing gaps, and documentation needs.
- Code complexity & duplication
- Test coverage gaps
- Documentation state
- Outdated dependencies
Operational Risks
Deployment processes, monitoring blind spots, and disaster recovery.
- Deployment reliability
- Monitoring coverage
- Backup & recovery
- Incident response readiness
Infrastructure Review
Cloud configuration, cost efficiency, and security posture.
- Resource configuration
- Cost optimisation
- Security best practices
- High availability setup
Our Process
How We Work
Tooling first, then the parts that need a person.
Discovery
Understand your context, concerns, and priorities.
Deep Dive
Manual code review, architecture analysis, infra assessment.
Prioritise
Categorise findings by impact and urgency.
Recommend
Specific steps your team can take, in the order we'd take them.
Walkthrough
Explain findings and answer your questions.
Deliverables
What You Get
Findings Report
Code review findings, prioritised by what will hurt first.
Security Assessment
Vulnerability findings with remediation guidance.
Performance Analysis
Bottleneck identification with optimisation recommendations.
Architecture Review
Structural analysis with improvement recommendations.
Technical Debt Inventory
Categorised debt with remediation roadmap.
Action Plan
Clear next steps with prioritised improvements.
Includes Walkthrough Session
A report on its own gets skimmed. We walk through the findings with your team, explain how we got there, and answer whatever comes up.
Use Cases
When You Need This
Before Scaling
Preparing for a major release or growth event.
Inheriting Code
Taking over or acquiring a codebase.
After an Incident
Security incident or near-miss investigation.
Due Diligence
Investment or acquisition technical review.
Performance Issues
Degrading performance with unclear cause.
Pre-migration
Before cloud migration or modernisation.
What Comes Next
What to Do With the Findings
An audit often leads into implementation work. We can help with the next steps.
