System Design Mapping
We trace API routes, diagram server configurations, and point out database tables missing indexing controls.
Optimization & Quality
Know Exactly What Is Wrong Before It Becomes a Crisis
We run automated vulnerability scans, trace database query bottlenecks, list outdated code dependencies, and write markdown reports of system issues.

— Audit Services
Codebase & Dependency Audits
We run security scanning software, trace query times, and list outdated packages in your repository.
Vulnerability Scanning
We scan code repositories for exposed access tokens, inspect input fields for SQL injections, and check secure cookie configurations.
Query & Caching Reviews
We log slow database query loops, identify resource-heavy API routes, and check Redis memory buffers.
Package Version Auditing
We check package manager files for deprecated libraries, security vulnerabilities, and software licensing issues.
Linter & Coverage Checks
We configure static code formatters, count code branch complexity, and measure test statement coverage percentages.
Remediation Action Items
We write markdown lists of code segments that need refactoring, grouped by estimated engineer time and crash risk.
— Our Audit Process
Our Audit Workflow
1
Scoping & Repository Setup
We coordinate on a 30-minute call, agree on target code branches, and request read-only access to your Git project.
Repository Read Access
Day 1
2
Static & Security Scans
We run software audit tools, check package manager dependency listings, and review authorization routes.
Raw Scan Log Files
Days 1–3
3
Issue & Risk Categorization
We classify code issues into markdown files with tags for execution risk and code complexity.
Formatted Markdown Report
Days 4–5
4
Refactoring Step Plans
We draft ordering lists for upgrading packages, writing test scripts, and refactoring slow database queries.
Step-by-Step Refactoring Plan
Days 5–7
Learning Partnerships
We leverage modern software scanning, static analysis, and security tools.
FAQs
Questions About Software Audits
What engineering leaders, founders, and investors ask before ordering an audit.
Yes. We sign an NDA before receiving any access. All findings remain strictly confidential between us and the commissioning party. Auditors work under data handling policies that prohibit sharing or retaining your code after the engagement. We are happy to negotiate specific NDA terms if you have standard templates.
Read-only access to your source code repository — nothing else. We do not need database access, production credentials, or environment access to conduct an audit. If you prefer, you can export a snapshot of the repository and send it securely rather than granting direct access.
A structured document with an executive summary, findings by category (architecture, security, performance, dependencies, code quality), each finding rated by severity with business impact explanation, specific remediation steps, and a prioritised remediation roadmap. Typical report length is 40–80 pages. We also provide a one-page board summary if requested.
Standard audit: 7 days from access granted to report delivered. Expedited audit (72-hour turnaround): available for an additional fee, covers security and critical risk areas. Enterprise audit (large monolith, 500k+ lines of code): 10–14 days.
No. The audit is entirely read-only and independent of your development workflow. We may request a 30-minute call with a senior engineer to clarify architectural decisions, but this is optional and does not block the audit.
Yes. Many clients engage us for a remediation sprint following the audit — we fix the critical findings ourselves or work alongside your team. We have the context from the audit, which makes remediation significantly faster than handing the report to a team that has not read the code.
Standard audit: from $8k for a focused single-service audit. Full-stack audit of a typical SaaS product: $15k–$25k. Enterprise audit of a complex multi-service architecture: $30k–$60k. Due-diligence audits commissioned by investors have additional requirements and are priced separately.
Annual audits are a sensible baseline for active products. Triggered audits are appropriate before major fundraises, acquisitions, enterprise sales processes, or after a significant security incident. Many clients also run a focused security audit after major architectural changes.
