When do you need a technical audit?
Before due diligence or a funding round — investors will ask about the technical state.
Your system has accumulated technical debt and you don't know what's urgent vs. what can wait.
You need to meet security or compliance requirements (ISO 27001, SOC2, PCI-DSS).
Deploys are slow, risky or frequently fail and you don't know why.
You inherited a system and need to understand what you have before committing to a roadmap.
You're about to scale and want to verify the architecture can handle it before investing in growth.
What the audit covers
Codebase review
- Code quality and consistency
- Test coverage and quality
- Technical debt: identification and prioritization
- Design patterns and antipatterns
- Dependencies and known vulnerabilities (CVEs)
System architecture
- Components, layers and data flow
- Coupling and cohesion between modules
- Scalability and breaking points
- Service contracts and integrations
- Data strategy and database model
Security (OWASP Top 10)
- Authentication and authorization
- Sensitive data and secrets handling
- Input validation and injection protection
- Infrastructure configuration and service exposure
- Supply chain and third-party dependencies
Infrastructure and operations
- CI/CD pipeline and deploy process
- Environment configuration (dev/staging/prod)
- Monitoring, alerts and observability
- Backup and disaster recovery strategy
- Available technical documentation
The report we deliver
A formal technical report, not a slide deck. Between 20 and 60 pages depending on system complexity.
- 01
Executive summary (1 page) — for non-technical decision makers. What risks exist and what to do first.
- 02
Detailed findings with severity — Critical / High / Medium / Low. Each finding includes reproducible technical evidence.
- 03
OWASP classification — for security findings, with reference to the standard.
- 04
Actionable recommendations — not "improve security" but concrete steps with specific technology and configuration.
- 05
Prioritized 30/60/90-day roadmap — ordered by impact and effort so your team knows exactly what to do first.
Access we need
We never access production directly. We sign NDA before receiving any access.

Frequently asked questions
How long does an audit take?
Between 1 and 2 weeks depending on system complexity. At the start we define the exact scope and confirm the timeline.
What methodology do you use?
OWASP Top 10 for security, architecture review based on SOLID principles and design patterns, and technical debt analysis prioritized by business impact.
Is the report for technical or non-technical audiences?
Both. The executive summary is written for non-technical decision makers. The technical detail is for the development team that will implement the recommendations.
Can you implement the improvements afterwards?
Yes. Many clients start with the audit and then hire us to implement the roadmap. These are two separate engagements with separate budgets.
Do you audit systems in specific technologies?
Yes. We work with Go, Java, Python, Node.js, SQL and NoSQL databases, and cloud architectures on AWS and GCP. If your stack is different, let's talk.
Need an independent technical diagnosis?
The first conversation is commitment-free. Tell us the context, and we'll tell you if an audit makes sense and how we would approach it.
