Code Quality & Security Audits
Comprehensive code reviews that uncover risks, technical debt, and improvement opportunities
Overview
Know What You're Working With: Professional Code Assessment
Whether you've inherited a codebase, suspect quality issues, or need security validation before a major launch, our code audits give you the clarity to move forward confidently. We examine your application from multiple angles—code quality, security vulnerabilities, dependency health, and architectural sustainability—delivering actionable findings you can act on immediately.
The Reality of Modern Development
AI-assisted development and rapid prototyping have accelerated delivery, but they've also introduced new risks. "Vibe coding" without guardrails can produce applications that work on the surface but harbor inconsistencies, security gaps, and technical debt that compounds over time. Similarly, inheriting code from departed contractors or acquired companies often means working blind until someone takes a thorough look.
What You Get: Clarity and a Path Forward
Our audits aren't academic exercises. We deliver clear, prioritized findings that separate critical issues from nice-to-haves, with realistic recommendations for remediation. You'll understand exactly what you're working with and what needs attention first.
Our Audit Methodology

Our proven methodology ensures success through communication, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
Comprehensive Analysis Across Four Dimensions
We examine your codebase through multiple lenses to give you a complete picture:
Flexible Engagement Models
Not every audit needs to be comprehensive. We offer three levels:
Quick Assessment (1-2 weeks) - Focused scan for critical security vulnerabilities and obvious quality issues. Ideal for pre-acquisition due diligence or rapid risk assessment.
Standard Audit (3-4 weeks) - Comprehensive review covering all four dimensions. Includes detailed findings report, prioritized recommendations, and remediation cost estimates.
Deep Dive with Remediation Plan (6-8 weeks) - Everything in Standard Audit plus hands-on code fixes for critical issues, architectural refactoring recommendations, and a phased improvement roadmap your team can execute.
What Makes Our Audits Different
We've been building software for 25+ years across virtually every technology stack. Our auditors have seen what works and what fails at scale. We understand the difference between theoretical best practices and practical reality, and our recommendations reflect that experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a code audit take?
Quick assessments take 1-2 weeks. Standard audits require 3-4 weeks. Deep dives with remediation planning can take 6-8 weeks. Timeline depends on codebase size and audit scope.
What if our code is really messy? Will you judge us?
We've seen it all, and we're not here to judge. Every codebase accumulates debt under deadline pressure. Our job is to help you understand what you have and create a realistic plan to improve it. Honesty about current state is the first step to making it better.
Can you audit code written with AI assistance?
Absolutely. AI-generated code presents specific challenges: inconsistent patterns, over-engineered solutions, and subtle bugs that pass initial testing. We've developed audit approaches specifically for AI-assisted codebases that identify these common issues.
Do we have to fix everything you find?
No. We prioritize findings into Critical (fix immediately), High (fix soon), Medium (fix when convenient), and Low (nice-to-have). You decide what makes sense for your timeline and budget. Some issues may be acceptable risks for your situation.
What happens after the audit?
You receive a comprehensive report with findings, priorities, and recommendations. Many clients choose to have us fix critical issues immediately. Others use our findings to guide their own development team. We're flexible based on what works for you.
Can you audit just security, or just code quality?
Yes. While we recommend comprehensive audits, you can request focused assessments. Common requests include security-only audits before launches, or quality-only reviews when inheriting codebases.
What technologies and languages do you audit?
We audit virtually any modern technology stack: JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, Ruby, Java, C#/.NET, PHP, Go, and Rust. For both backend and frontend code, including frameworks like React, Angular, Rails, Django, and others.
How much does a code audit cost?
Quick assessments start around $15,000. Standard audits typically range from $30,000-$60,000 depending on codebase size. Deep dives with remediation can range from $60,000-$150,000. We provide fixed-price quotes after understanding your needs.
