Software Audit
Audit systems and delivery pipelines to identify bottlenecks and risks, an independent review from a team that didn’t write the code.
An Independent Look at What You’ve Built
A software audit is an independent review of your codebase’s health, structure and risk, carried out by a team that didn’t build it. We look at the code, the architecture and the delivery pipeline around it.
Findings are reported as specific, prioritized issues to address, not a single score or grade. A score can hide which problems actually matter; a prioritized list can’t.
- Code quality and maintainability
- Architecture and dependency risks
- Security and outdated packages
- Build, test and release pipeline
What a Software Audit Covers
Codebase Review
Structure, readability and areas that are hard to change.
Architecture Review
How the system is put together, and where it may not scale.
Dependency & Security Check
Outdated frameworks, packages and known security risks to address.
Delivery Pipeline Review
Build, test and release steps that slow the whole team down.
Common Situations
Changes Take Too Long
Small fixes take too long and risk breaking things.
Inherited Codebase
A system built by another team that nobody fully understands.
Before a Big Investment
An honest picture before adding major features or scaling up.
Recurring Defects
The same kinds of bugs keep coming back after each release.
How an Audit Works
Discovery
Understand the system and what prompted the audit.
Technical Review
Direct review of the codebase and pipeline, not a questionnaire.
Findings
Specific, evidenced issues with clear context.
Recommendations
What matters most first, weighed against effort and risk.
Support Fixes
Help fixing what the audit found, or a hand-over to your team.
How We Approach a Software Audit Engagement
Discover
Understanding the system and what is prompting the engagement.
Scope
Agreeing exactly what will be reviewed or changed, and how.
Deliver
Carrying out the work against the agreed scope.
Support
Handing over results and staying available afterwards.

Software Audit FAQ
What’s included in a software audit?
A review of your codebase, architecture, dependencies and delivery pipeline, with findings reported as prioritized issues and recommendations.
Do you provide a numerical audit score?
No. Findings are reported as specific, prioritized issues rather than a single score, since a score can hide which problems actually matter.
Is the audit a formal certification?
No. It is scoped to what was actually reviewed and evidenced, and isn’t presented as a formal certification.
Can you fix the issues the audit finds?
Yes. We can implement the recommendations, or hand the findings to your own team.
