Process of code audit services

Our methodology is an open multi-step process where we run your code under different conditions and create a comprehensive report. This way, we touch upon most of the popular languages and frameworks and are able to get a clear idea about your codebase.

01

Define scope and objectives

We identify the targets: security, performance, maintainability, compliance, etc. The team agrees on timelines and defines bits to audition, e.g., whole codebase, specific modules, or APIs.

02

Gather documentation and context

Before starting, we collect documentation like architectural diagrams or design documents and understand the technology stack. We also review existing security policies, threat models, and prior audit reports to figure out your processes.

03

Set up the audit environment

The team creates a development/test environment that mirrors production. At the same time, we establish proper access controls and check that confidentiality agreements are in place. So we clone or access the source code repository securely.

04

Analysis and code review

Combining automated and manual tools, the team looks for security and dependency vulnerabilities, code smells, anti-patterns, coding standard violations, etc.

05

Third-party risk assessment

Apart from checking business logic flaws and adherence to secure coding guidelines (OWASP, CERT, CWE), we also analyze third-party libraries. The team verifies license compliance and outdated dependencies.

06

Report generation and feedback

Our expert audit will give you a full breakdown of security gaps, performance issues, and opportunities for improvement.

When you need code audit services

These services help you deliver high-quality, secure, and scalable products. And maintain that kind of quality. Depending on the current development stage, you need to check whether your code base corresponds to the industry requirements and contributes to your product’s success.

Before launching a new product or feature

The goal is to catch critical bugs, security flaws, or architectural weaknesses before release. You prevent post-launch outages or breaches and build confidence in product stability. You can be sure that the future app will work as expected and stay bug-free.

Prior to mergers, acquisitions, or investment

Investors or acquiring companies often require due diligence on software assets. It reveals technical debt, scalability risks, or hidden liabilities. So they can understand what to expect from the investment, and that also increases trust between investors.

Integrating with critical third-party systems

External vendors or contractors aren’t always reliable, and implementing their services into critical systems opens new vulnerabilities. At the very least, they can have different coding standards. To avoid all the risks, you should verify the quality and security of the delivered code.

During technology stack upgrades or migration

When upgrading frameworks, languages, or moving to cloud platforms, the code base will transform, and you need to eliminate deprecated functions or compatibility risks. The code review services improve performance and maintainability, making migration secure and efficient.

Compliance with regulations

Industries like finance (PCI-DSS), healthcare (HIPAA), or government (FISMA) require secure coding practices. That’s why there can be audits by authorities or certification bodies. Before releasing a product, you check everything yourself and thus reduce the risk of fines or penalties.

What’s in the code audit report?

The report is a tool for communication between stakeholders and auditors. The contents depend on the initial goal and product type, but in general the report delivers findings, risks, and recommendations.

01

Executive summary

It’s a high-level overview for non-technical stakeholders with visual summaries like pie charts or heatmaps. There are key findings, general recommendations, and risk rating.
02

Detailed findings

The core section that lists all identified issues with technical depth. Each issue has severity level, description, root cause, and recommendations.
03

Code quality issues

Actionable insights into your codebase, including any violations of coding standards, code duplication, or areas that require refactoring. Helps you maintain the code.
04

Dependency analysis

You get a list of external libraries and frameworks used with found vulnerabilities, outdated packages requiring updates, and open-source license compliance statuses.
05

Methodology

A description of how the audit was performed: tools, static or dynamic analysis, manual testing procedures, compliance standards as a reference—all for better understanding.
06

Remediation roadmap

We offer a prioritized action plan for fixing listed issues. They are divided into categories according to their impact  in accordance with long-term recommendations.

Benefits of software code audit services

Depending on the industry and development type, you can get various advantages. Improved business logic, fewer bugs, removed outdated parts, better performance, new development practices, and battle-tested recommendations. This levels up your devs’ productivity.

What’s more, it reduces development time and cost, because you eliminate issues before the crucial process starts.

Improved security

Frontend code is also attacked by hackers and hence becomes an obvious target. When the vulnerabilities are identified, you block client-side attacks and protect against sensitive session data.

Better performance and UX

Slowing or janky interfaces scare away users. Offer quicker loads and silky-smoother interaction to keep your old users and attract new ones.

Responsive & cross-browser compatibility

People open applications on many devices and browsers, and your product delivers similar experience across different devices if you audit often.

Clean code architecture

The assessment makes the codebase more maintainable, readable, and pass-on-able to new engineers because it forces everyone to follow best practices.

SEO and discoverability support

In public websites, frontend code handles search engine visibility. Thus, the code reviews improve search ranks and organic traffic because they take into consideration the quality of code.

Our software products are a direct result of the right team and processes cultivated over the years.

Everything about our code audit services

If you don’t see your question, just reach out—we’ll answer as soon as possible.

What is a code audit?

It is a comprehensive review of a source code to find out any security vulnerabilities, bugs, performance issues, and coding standard deviations. The review makes your product stable and scalable and ready for shipping or refactoring.

What problems does a code audit solve?

It resolves problems like security vulnerabilities, bugs, performance bugs, code quality issues, insecure libraries, and compliance problems. The process makes your website or app more stable, maintainable, and secure.

How long does the code audit take?

Typically, it will take between 1 and 4 weeks, depending on the codebase size, complexity, and scope. The larger the project, the longer it will take.

When should a code audit be done?

Prior to product release, after significant updates, during security breaches, prior to funding rounds or mergers, or when adding new development teams. Nevertheless, periodic audits are essential for upholding long-term code health.

What does the code audit report contain?

Usually, it’s a detailed report that includes identified issues, code snippets, explanations of risks, and clear recommendations for fixes. These things are often categorized by security, performance, quality, and suggestions.

Will you provide solutions or just point out problems?

Of course, we offer suggestions and solutions to fix the located issues and avoid them later in the process. Our developers share their knowledge and industry insights to help you keep your code clean.
