Source code audits by independent experts

Outdated code, undocumented systems or unclear architecture can slow down your IT projects and cause significant costs.

Our audits provide clarity.

Why a source code audit?

A thorough evaluation of your source code answers crucial questions:

  • Is your code maintainable and future-proof?
  • Are there hidden security risks?
  • Can your system be easily expanded with new features?
  • Is the code understandable to new developers?
  • Does your code meet modern development standards?

Through our audits, you get an objective view of your codebase, where we translate technical findings into concrete understandable information. This allows you to make informed decisions about possible improvements and future developments.

What makes our source code audits unique?

Transparency about connections

We are fully transparent about any direct or indirect ties between our auditors, your organization and other involved parties such as outside developers. We identify and discuss potential conflicts of interest with you before we start.

No Hidden Agendas

You will receive an honest and thorough audit with practical recommendations from us. We specialize exclusively in audits and deliberately do not offer project development - this strict separation guarantees our neutrality and prevents conflicts of interest.

Code for people, not machines

We believe that good code should be understood and maintained not only by computers, but especially by people. Automated analyses often lack practical usability for developers. Therefore, our audit also evaluates readability, structure and documentation from a human point of view.

Auditors with field experience

Our auditors preferably have at least 5 years of experience with the technology for which they are auditing perform. They are not full-time auditors, but all are people active in the IT world, who we can bring in when needed to perform an audit in their specific field.

A transparent and efficient audit process

1

Understanding your goals

We discuss your specific goals and challenges during an intake interview. What exactly do you want to find out? In what form do you want to receive the results? If necessary, a technical interview will follow.

2

Finding the right expert(s)

We select the most suitable specialist from our pool of experienced freelancers and consultants and introduce them to you if required. You will receive a detailed quotation with timing and costs.

3

Ensuring safety

Upon approval of the quote, we will send a contract with NDA. We work flexibly with your own NDA if required. You grant our specialist access to the required source code and systems under strict confidentiality.

4

Perform thorough analysis

Our specialist performs the audit according to the agreed scope. Each audit is reviewed internally for quality and effectiveness. We ensure that the audit answers your questions.

5

Presenting results without IT-speak

You will receive a detailed report according to the agreed format. We explain the findings personally via a meeting or video conference. We make sure you understand our findings and can act on them if necessary.

6

Ensuring lasting results

We offer follow-up and coaching on the implementation of any recommendations, if required, and can conduct follow-up audits to monitor progress. Implementation itself we do not offer to avoid conflicts of interest.

Questions?

We have answered some frequently asked questions, but don't hesitate to contact us if something is still not clear.

Contact us

Does a source code audit occur onsite or remotely?

This is done according to your preference. An on-site source code audit is possible, but usually adds little value. It can also involve travel and accommodation costs and is less flexible to fit into an auditor's schedule.

More extensive, broader audits are preferably performed on-site.

Can an audit via TeamViewer, VNC, Remote desktop,... happen?

For a basic "first impression" audit, this is certainly possible. For a more comprehensive audit, it is better to be able to work directly with the source code locally, where we also have our own audit tools available.

Do you also do pen testing?

No. Performing a pen test is a specialized activity that requires the more of a hacker mindset, while our experts have a developer's mindset. Apart from a few exceptions, we don't think we can offer you offer a quality pen test.

However, we are happy to put you in touch with a firm that performs pen tests and has our trust.

Do julle support backend framework X, frontend framework Y, language Z?

Presumably yes, please contact us.

I'm not a techie, I don't know what exactly I need and if I can provide everything.

No problem, we also speak to non-techies and are happy to inform you without obligation.
