Technical and code audit
Before you migrate, invest, or buy — understand the risk in the software.
A technical audit structures architecture, maintainability, dependencies, security, testing, and transferability — so you decide with evidence.
In an initial 30-minute conversation we review context, criticality, the urgency trigger, and whether an assessment is a fit. You do not need to share code or confidential information at this stage.
When it makes sense
- Investment or fundraising
- Acquisition or sale
- Vendor transition
- CTO or original developer departure
- Takeover or remediation
- Modernization planning
What is evaluated
Covers technical and code-audit dimensions in one offering (consolidated to avoid duplicate pages).
- Architecture and complexity
- Maintainability and duplication
- Dependencies and obsolescence
- Security and licenses
- Testing and CI/CD
- Infrastructure and observability
- Documentation and data
- Transferability and bus factor
What you receive
- Findings prioritized by risk and impact
- Dependency map and blind spots
- Actionable recommendations (not a tool dump)
- Next step: remediation, assessment, or pilot
What it does not include
- Formal certification (unless explicitly contracted)
- Full legal compliance audit
- Access to secrets or production without NDA and agreed scope
- Valuation promises or investor approval guarantees
How information is protected
- NDA when scope requires it
- Minimum necessary access for a limited time
- No credentials requested in the first meeting
- Prioritized findings; client code is not published
What happens in the first meeting
In an initial 30-minute conversation we review context, criticality, the urgency trigger, and whether an assessment is a fit. You do not need to share code or confidential information at this stage.
Useful to prepare
- System or product
- Known technology
- Approximate age
- Business criticality
- Main problem
- Current team
- Urgency trigger
- Approximate deadline
What does not happen
- — No free full audit
- — No repository access required
- — No credentials requested
- — No secrets shared
- — No budget promised without diagnosis
FAQ
- Is this the same as a Legacy Risk Scan?
- The Risk Scan is the shorter entry point to size risk. The technical audit goes deeper and is typically used for investment, M&A, takeover, or modernization planning.
- Is code audit a separate page?
- No. It is consolidated here to avoid thin duplicates. Code quality, debt, tests, and licenses are part of the dimensions.
- Do I need to open the repository now?
- Not in the first conversation. Access is defined later, with scope and NDA when needed.
