Comprehensive Technology Audit Services
Get an independent view of your software and infrastructure from a company that
has built custom solutions for 26+ years. We rank each finding by business impact,
and our engineers can carry out the fixes alongside your team.
When to Commission a Technology Audit
Commission a technology audit when a business decision depends on what your systems can handle. As a trusted
technology audit company, we review your technology from the outside, which keeps our IT risk assessment
independent of those who built the systems.
Preparing for an Acquisition or Investment
Buyers and investors want to know what they're paying for before they sign. We look at architecture, code quality, security, and the packages your product takes from third-party vendors, and provide a roadmap on fixing each risk.
Scaling Past Your Current Load
Pages load slower with every new customer, or the site goes down during a product launch. A technology audit for scalability and performance issues traces each slowdown to the code or cloud infrastructure limit behind it.
Slowing Releases and Mounting Technical Debt
Your developers estimate three days for a feature and deliver it in three weeks, because half the time goes into working around old code. You find out which modules cost your team the most hours and where to start the cleanup with our technology audit services for technical debt.
Deciding Whether to Rewrite or Repair
Your CTO wants to rebuild the platform from scratch, while the product team would like to keep it and fix what's broken. We score the code against 10 criteria, and if the total comes in at under 10 out of 30, a rewrite will likely cost you less than fixing the old system.
Preparing for a Compliance Review
A compliance review can stall over something small, like a database password a developer committed to the repository two years ago. We look for these before the auditor does and check your security controls against GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, or your industry's regulatory compliance rules.
Relying on AI-Generated Code
CodeRabbit's 2025 study found 1.7 times more issues in code co-written by Generative AI tools. We check what the agents wrote against your specs and look for typical AI mistakes, like logic that works only in a demo.
What Our Technology Audit Covers
Our comprehensive technology audit services cover the technical side of your product, split into the six areas below.
Order the full set or start with the one that worries you most.
Architecture and Infrastructure
We trace how your system components depend on each other and where each one runs, in the cloud or on your own servers. The developer documentation gets a rating too, from a lone readme file to design notes that explain why the system was built this way.
Code Quality and Maintainability
If a new developer needs a month to find their way around, we start with the project structure and dependency management. You'll also see how much logic is copied between modules and what the features on your roadmap will cost to build on top of this code.
Engineering Practices
Your Git history and build pipeline show how the team works, from huge commits with vague messages to tests that cover only the happy path. We score your tooling and tests, along with the way pull requests get reviewed before a merge.
Security and Compliance
Typical finds include passwords in config files, raw SQL open to injection, packages three major versions behind, admin pages open to any IP address, and user input that reaches the database unchecked. Our multi-agent AI security review does the first pass, and our engineers go through the results and match them against the compliance rules for your industry.
Performance and Scalability
A checkout that takes eight seconds under load usually traces back to a few heavy database queries or one overloaded service. We find them in the code and check whether each library suits the job it does.
Technology Stack and Dependencies
Technological change makes each postponed framework upgrade bigger. Our technology stack audit services list every framework and library you use, with its support status and the effort required to upgrade it.
How We Assess Technology Risks
and Control Effectiveness
We look at technology risks and control effectiveness separately, so you can see where the code is weak
and how your team copes when something breaks.
Step 1: Scoring Against 10 Criteria
Each of the 10 criteria, from project structure and tooling to security and roadmap risks, gets from 0 to 3 points. A ‘1’ for project structure, for example, means files are duplicated in some places and dependencies are barely managed, and you'll see that written out next to the number.
Step 2: RAG Rating
We add the scores from all 10 criteria to get a total out of 30. We then match your total to the table below to show where your project stands on the Red-Amber-Green (RAG) scale and how much work the codebase needs before new development.
| Total score | Rating | What it means for your project |
|---|---|---|
| 0–9 | Red | The codebase needs heavy rebuild before new development, and a full rewrite is often the cheaper option |
| 10–19 | Amber | Issues need fixing before your team builds new features, though the existing code is worth keeping |
| 20–30 | Green | The system is well maintained and secure, and new features need minimal preparation |
Step 3: Risk Prioritization
We rank individual findings within each zone by their effect on your business and the hours needed to fix them. Ranked findings go into a risk register, and our engineers walk company leadership through the top items as part of our technology audit consulting services.
Step 4: Control Effectiveness
We check whether load monitoring sends an alert before customers start complaining about slow pages and how fast your support team reacts to urgent and non-urgent incidents. The last check is the time it takes to restore the system or database from backups, a number every disaster recovery plan should include.
What You Receive from Your Technology Audit
DevCom provides every technology audit with improvement recommendations in two layers: a one-page summary for the board and
detailed findings for your engineers.
Audit Scorecard
A single table lists all 10 criteria, the score each one received, and your total out of 30 with its RAG zone.
Findings for Each Criterion
Next to every score, we describe what we found and how to fix it, from API keys committed to the repository to code that reaches the main branch without a review.
Control Effectiveness Results
This part shows whether load alerts reach your team in time and how long a restore from backups takes.
Remediation Plan
We list every fix in the order we'd tackle it, with an hour estimate next to each. You can hand the plan straight to your project manager or ask our engineers to take on part of the work.

Before Your Next Big Decision
DevCom engineers score your system against 10 criteria
and show you which fixes pay off first.
Our Technology Audit Process
Your developers keep working on their current sprint while we audit. We'll need a couple of interviews
with them and read-only access to the systems in scope.
You Request a Technology Audit
Book a call or fill in the form and tell us why you're considering independent technology audit services.
We Sign an MNDA
We send a mutual non-disclosure agreement (MNDA) first, and you share code or cloud access only after both sides sign it.
We Agree on the Audit Scope
You walk us through the systems and the incidents that keep coming back. We put together an audit program from that conversation, with the systems we'll check and a date for each stage.
You Share Read-Only Access
We work with read-only access to your repositories and cloud console. Last year's incident reports from your support team help too, as does a list of the third-party vendors that can see your data.
We Assess Your Technology
We start with automated tools and our multi-agent AI security review, and our engineers then go through the results by hand. Each of the ten criteria gets a score from 0 to 3.
You Receive the Audit Report and Roadmap
We go over the technology audit report and recommendations with your team on a call.
Technology Audit Cost and Timeline
The technology audit services cost depends on how many systems we check and how deep we go into each one. A quick automated scan of one codebase takes days, while a full audit of a platform with several teams and a cloud environment takes a few weeks or more.
Prices go up with the number of repositories and integrations and with how much code our engineers read by hand. Regulated industries such as healthcare also need threat modeling, which adds time.
Use the ranges below as a guide, since we set the final price and timeline for each system individually.
| Scope | What's included | Time | Approximate price range (USD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Automated scan | Automated tools check one codebase, and our engineers validate the priority findings | 3–5 business days | 1,000-5,000 |
| Focused audit | Manual review of one area from the options listed above, such as security and compliance or engineering practices, in one product | 1–3 weeks | 8,000-20,000 |
| Comprehensive technology audit | Every area listed above, scored against our 10 criteria, plus control effectiveness for one product | 3–5 weeks | 20,000-40,000 |
| Multi-system audit | Several products, teams, or business units | 5+ weeks | Custom quote |
DevCom experts help you decide which scope fits your system. Book a call, and our engineers will name the price as soon as you settle on the scope.
Technology Advisory, Remediation & Follow-Up Reviews
We stay with you after the report, and our technology audit & advisory services can encompass anything from one
planning call to fixing the code ourselves.
Priorities Advisory
Our engineers advise company leadership on the decisions that follow the audit, such as which Red-zone module to rewrite first and what to include on next year's IT road map.
Technology Audit and Remediation Services
You can combine technology audit and technical debt remediation in one engagement, with the same engineers who identified the issues resolving them. The work ranges from moving credentials out of the repository in a few hours to several sprints of refactoring.
Support for Your Developers
If you'd like to keep the work in-house, we can add engineers to your team for the cleanup or advise your developers as they go through the plan.
Optional Follow-Up Reviews
Once the fixes are in, for an additional fee, we can score the code against the same 10 criteria again so you can see how far the project has moved along.
