Code Audit Services

A code audit that tells you what the codebase is actually hiding.

Most code audits are a scanner run against a checklist. We read the source itself — security, quality, architecture, dependencies, and the knowledge locked in a few people's heads — and hand you prioritized, reproducible evidence.

Beyond the code

A codebase is not a system.

The code tells you what exists. It can't tell you why it was built that way, who actually understands it, or whether it still does what it was meant to do. Those answers live in the commit history, the tickets, the PRDs, and the people who made the decisions — and that's where the real risk hides.

So we don't just scan the source. We audit the whole system: the code, the decisions that shaped it, and the knowledge holding it together. An off-the-shelf scanner hands you a thousand warnings and a score. We hand you the three findings that will actually cost you — in a breach, a failed deal, or a rewrite nobody budgeted for.

You leave understanding not just what your software is, but why it became that way — and what that means for what you do next.

What a source code audit covers

Six dimensions of the system.

01

Security Code Audit

Latent vulnerabilities and business-logic flaws that pattern scanners miss — identified via Code Property Graph analysis across the full codebase, not a sample.

02

Code Quality Audit

Complexity, duplication, and test-coverage gaps mapped against change frequency, so you see where quality problems are actually slowing delivery — not just where a linter complains.

03

Dependency & License Audit

Every declared and undeclared third-party dependency, with copyleft contamination, AGPL exposure, and end-of-life packages flagged across your full package tree.

04

Architecture Review

The system topology as it's actually deployed — bottlenecks, single points of failure, and coupling that makes every change risky. The real architecture, not the diagram.

05

Technical Debt Hotspots

Change-driven prioritization surfaces the code that is both complex and frequently modified — where maintenance cost and defect risk concentrate.

06

Knowledge Concentration

Git-history analysis reveals which engineers hold unique expertise over critical modules. A bus factor of one on revenue-critical code is a finding, not a footnote.

How it works

Read-only. No disruption to your team.

01

Read-only access

We connect to your repository and CI/CD under NDA in an isolated environment. Nothing is modified; your team keeps shipping.

02

Automated analysis

Our tooling builds a knowledge graph of the codebase — entities, relationships, dependencies, and history — and runs security, quality, and license analysis across all of it.

03

Prioritized findings

A consultant reviews and ranks the findings by business impact, then walks you through what to fix first and what it will take.

What you get

Findings you can act on.

Not a thousand-line scanner dump — a prioritized, evidence-backed picture of the codebase and what to do about it.

Common questions

Code audits, answered.

What is a code audit?

A code audit is a structured review of a codebase to assess its security, quality, architecture, and maintainability. A thorough audit reads the source, commit history, and dependency tree directly — surfacing vulnerabilities, technical debt, and license exposure as prioritized, reproducible findings rather than a generic score.

What's the difference between a security code audit and a code quality audit?

A security code audit targets vulnerabilities and business-logic flaws that expose you to attack or data loss. A code quality audit targets maintainability — complexity, duplication, coverage, and the debt hotspots that slow delivery. We run both as one source code audit because the same analysis surfaces both.

Will you change our code or disrupt the team?

No. Access is read-only and runs in an isolated environment. We don't commit, deploy, or touch your pipeline — your engineers keep working while we analyze.

Is a code audit the same as technical due diligence?

They share the same engine. A technical due diligence engagement frames the findings for an investor or acquirer evaluating a deal; a code audit frames them for the team that owns and operates the system. Same evidence, different audience.

What We Are Not

We don't write code, manage your engineering team, or sell you a transformation roadmap. Our only interest is an accurate picture — which is exactly why you can trust it. What happens next is your decision, made with the right information for the first time.
