Technology — Technical audit

A technical audit that ends in a plan.

Senior engineers review your code, architecture, security, performance and infrastructure, then hand you a prioritised report of what to fix, why it matters and how much effort it takes. Your team can act on it, or ours can.

  • An NDA is signed before every audit
  • Your code and IP stay protected
  • Reports are independent and confidential

01 What we audit

Four lenses, one clear picture.

A code audit on its own misses the server it runs on. A security audit on its own misses why releases are slow. We look at the system from four sides and report on it as one.

  1. Code & architecture

    We review code quality, design patterns, test coverage and technical debt, and assess whether your architecture can scale with your roadmap.

    • Code quality
    • Design patterns
    • Test coverage
    • Technical debt
  2. Security posture

    We identify vulnerabilities in authentication, data handling, API exposure and dependencies. You receive a prioritised remediation roadmap.

    • Authentication
    • Data handling
    • API exposure
    • Dependencies
  3. Performance & scalability

    We benchmark load times, database queries and resource utilisation, and pinpoint bottlenecks before your users do.

    • Load times
    • Database queries
    • Resource utilisation
    • Bottlenecks
  4. Infrastructure & DevOps

    We evaluate cloud setup, CI/CD pipelines, monitoring and cost efficiency, and flag single points of failure and compliance gaps.

    • Cloud setup
    • CI/CD pipelines
    • Monitoring
    • Cost efficiency

02 When to audit

When an audit pays for itself.

Should you rewrite or refactor? Hire or optimise? Scale now or later? Four moments when an independent answer is worth having before you commit.

  1. Before a funding round

    Investors will audit your tech. Get ahead of their questions with an independent assessment and a clear improvement plan.

  2. Before you scale

    Before you hire ten more engineers or launch in a new market, know whether your foundation can handle the load.

  3. After inheriting a system

    Acquired or merged? The audit maps what you have inherited, the good, the bad and the urgent, into a report you can act on.

  4. When delivery has slowed

    If shipping has slowed, the problem may be architectural. We find the friction and recommend fixes that get releases moving again.

03 Audit packages

Three depths, from health check to due diligence.

Pick the depth that fits your stage. Each package builds on the one before it, and every price is quoted after the discovery call, once the scope is agreed.

Package 1 of 3

Starter Health Check

  • Top 10 security vulnerabilities
  • Performance smoke test
  • Executive summary deck

Package 2 of 3

04 After the audit

Audit, recommendations, implementation.

The audit is a complete piece of work on its own. It is also the first step of a larger one, if you want the people who found the problems to fix them.

  1. Audit

    An independent review through all four lenses: code and architecture, security, performance and infrastructure.

  2. Recommendations

    A prioritised remediation roadmap with effort estimates, walked through with your leadership and engineering leads.

  3. Implementation

    Hand the roadmap to your own engineers, or ask us to quote the work. ProDevs can deliver it in three ways:

05 What you receive

A report you can decide from.

Every finding comes with a severity rating and the evidence behind it, so the report gives you grounds for a decision and something to show your stakeholders.

Who does the audit
Senior engineers and architects
  1. Executive summary with risk severity ratings
  2. Detailed findings across code, security, performance and infrastructure
  3. Prioritised remediation roadmap with effort estimates
  4. Optional team interview and workflow review
  5. Follow-up call to walk through recommendations

06 How it works

Four steps, from discovery call to decision.

How long the review takes depends on the package you choose: from 5–7 days for a Starter Health Check to 3–4 weeks for Full Due Diligence.

  1. Discovery call

    Free, no commitment

    You

    Tell us your stack, team structure, concerns and goals.

    ProDevs

    Use what we learn to shape the audit scope and focus areas, and recommend the package that fits.

  2. Deep dive

    Length depends on the package

    You

    Sign the NDA with us, then give our engineers access to what is in scope.

    ProDevs

    Senior engineers review code repositories, cloud consoles and documentation, and run automated scans.

  3. Findings report

    At the end of the review

    You

    Receive a decision-ready report.

    ProDevs

    Write up every finding with a severity rating and evidence, and a prioritised roadmap tailored to your business timeline.

  4. Walkthrough & next steps

    After the report

    You

    Bring your leadership and engineering leads, and decide who does the work.

    ProDevs

    Present the findings to them. If you want, we then quote remediation or team augmentation.

07 Questions

Technical audits, answered.

Something else? Book a discovery call (opens in a new tab) or email the audit team.

  • What is a technical audit?

    An independent review of your code and architecture, security, performance and infrastructure. It ends in a report with severity ratings and a prioritised remediation roadmap with effort estimates, so you know what to fix first and why.

  • What access do you need?

    Our engineers review code repositories, cloud consoles and documentation, and run automated scans. The discovery call settles what is in scope, and an NDA is signed before the audit starts.

  • Is our code kept confidential?

    Yes. An NDA is signed before every audit, your code and IP stay protected, and the report is independent and confidential.

  • How long does a technical audit take, and what does it cost?

    The Starter Health Check takes 5–7 days, the Growth Audit 10–14 days and Full Due Diligence 3–4 weeks. The price is quoted after the discovery call, once the scope is agreed. The discovery call itself is free and carries no commitment.

  • What do we receive at the end?

    An executive summary with risk severity ratings, detailed findings across code, security, performance and infrastructure, a prioritised remediation roadmap with effort estimates, an optional team interview and workflow review, and a follow-up call to walk through the recommendations.

  • Can ProDevs fix what the audit finds?

    Yes, if you want us to. After the walkthrough we can quote remediation or team augmentation, and the same team can then do the work. You can equally hand the roadmap to your own engineers.

  • Who carries out the audit?

    Senior engineers and architects from ProDevs. They review the system, write the report and present the findings to your leadership and engineering leads.
