Code audit: concrete proof.
Verify the technology asset before you price it. Concrete proof of technology capability, beyond discussions and paperwork: we scan the full codebase and turn what we find into deal-relevant conclusions.
What the scan covers
We analyse the repositories the target actually ships from, with the same structure we use in a real audit report.
- The codebase at a glance: size, languages and source code composition
- Package vulnerabilities in open-source components, by severity
- Code vulnerabilities: insecure coding patterns and secrets left in the code
- Code duplication
- Dependency hygiene: age and version drift
- Refactor backlog: the files to clean first
- CI/CD maturity and measured test coverage, per repository
- Team scale and activity, read from the code history
- Active knowledge map: concentration and key-person risks
- External component licences and licence watch items
From findings to deal implications
A vulnerability list is not a decision. For each material finding we state what it means for the transaction: a price adjustment, an SPA protection, a remediation budget or a walk-away signal.
Every conclusion is validated by a senior expert and linked back to the evidence that supports it.
Frequently asked questions
Because the codebase is the asset being bought. A code audit provides concrete proof of technology capability, uncovers vulnerabilities and licensing risks, and verifies the quality claims made in the deal narrative.
Yes. We analyse open-source components and their licences, flagging copyleft exposure and any component whose licensing could restrict commercial use or the transaction itself.
The deepest read comes from repository access, which can be arranged under NDA with escrow-style protections. Where access is restricted we combine scanning of provided extracts with architecture and process evidence.
