Know Exactly What's Wrong
With Your Codebase.
Most technology decisions get made blind — no clear picture of code quality, architecture risk, or technical debt. Our Technical Code Review gives you an independent, evidence-based assessment of your application and infrastructure, with a prioritised roadmap to act on.
Technology Decisions
Shouldn't Be Guesswork
Growing applications accumulate technical debt, undocumented risk, and stack decisions nobody remembers making — invisible until it becomes an incident or a blocked roadmap.
A Full Picture of Your
Application & Infrastructure
The review spans both the application layer and the infrastructure it runs on — the two places technical debt and risk most often hide.
Code Structure & Quality
Coding standards, modularity, readability, and maintainability of the codebase, plus documentation quality.
Dependency & Library Management
Currency of third-party packages, deprecated or unmaintained dependencies, and licence compatibility.
Testing & Performance
Unit, integration, and end-to-end test coverage; caching strategy; database efficiency; scalability for growth.
SEO & Third-Party Integrations
Technical SEO factors and the quality of external API, payment, auth, and analytics integrations.
Version Control & CI/CD
Branching strategy, commit discipline, code review practices, build automation, and deployment reliability.
Hosting, Security & Recovery
Hosting configuration, environment parity, access controls, secret management, and backup/DR procedures.
Five Phases, 5 - 7 Days
A structured, collaborative process, so findings are accurate, relevant, and actionable from day one.
Kick-Off & Scoping
Confirm objectives, scope, timeline, access, and communication protocol.
Documentation Review
Review architecture docs, repository access, and infrastructure diagrams.
Technical Analysis
Hands-on review of code, dependencies, CI/CD, hosting, and test coverage.
Findings & Consolidation
Prioritise findings; draft, peer-review, and finalise the report.
Presentation & Handover
Present findings to stakeholders, answer questions, close out.
The Technical Review Report
A single, structured report mapping every finding to the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications — built for both technical teams and non-technical stakeholders.
What's Inside the Report
The report consolidates every finding into a single, structured document — built for both technical teams and non-technical stakeholders.
- ✓Executive Summary for non-technical audiences
- ✓Application Layer findings, area by area
- ✓Infrastructure findings, area by area
- ✓Risk Register (Critical / High / Medium / Low)
- ✓Recommendations: Quick Wins / Short-Term / Strategic
- ✓Technology Stack Summary reference table
- ✓Stakeholder presentation with live Q&A
Application Layer & Infrastructure Review
A comprehensive review of your web application, infrastructure, and development practices.
Configuration & Environment Management
Handling of environment-specific config, use of environment variables, separation of secrets from source code.
Error Handling & Logging
Adequacy of error handling, logging strategy and log management, monitoring and alerting configuration.
Testing Coverage & Methodology
Presence and coverage of unit, integration, and end-to-end tests; use of automation; maturity of the strategy.
Performance & Scalability
Application-level bottlenecks, caching strategy, database query efficiency, suitability for anticipated growth.
Version Control & Branching Strategy
Repository structure, branching conventions, commit discipline, pull request workflow, code review practices.
Security Configuration
High-level assessment of access controls, secret management, SSL/TLS, and firewall rules. Not a penetration test.
Out of scope: penetration testing or active exploitation, mobile app review (unless agreed in writing), implementation or remediation work, and legal/compliance/regulatory assessments.
Built for Anyone Who
Needs a Second Opinion
An independent set of eyes on code you didn't write yourself — before you rely on it.
Handed Off From a Contractor
You’ve had a contractor or agency build or extend your application, and want an external, independent review of the work before you sign off or take it in-house.
Regular Pre-Release Review
You want an external review of your codebase on a recurring basis — before major releases — so quality and risk are checked by someone outside the immediate team.
Vibe-Coded and Want a Sanity Check
You’ve used AI tools to build an application quickly and want a third-party specialist to independently verify it’s solid, secure, and ready to scale.
Verifying Internal Applications
You want your organisation’s internal tools and applications reviewed and verified against recognised standards, independent of the team that built them.
Simple, Fixed-Fee Pricing
No hourly guesswork — a flat fee for a one-off review, or a discounted rate the more regularly you review.
One-Off Review
A full, independent review of your application and infrastructure, delivered as a single engagement.
Fixed fee, no ongoing commitment
6-Monthly Plan
A review every six months — a steady check-in for teams that release on a slower, more considered cadence.
2 reviews per year, AUD 1,800 total
3-Monthly Plan
A review every quarter — for teams that ship regularly and want an independent check before each release.
4 reviews per year, AUD 3,000 total
Pair It With Security & AI Testing
This review is scoped to your codebase and infrastructure. If you also need penetration testing or AI/LLM risk testing, these cover that ground.
Rapid Pentest
A standalone penetration test against your live application, delivered in 5–7 days. See the full scope, sample report, and pricing.
AI Codebase Security Scan
A multi-agent AI review of your full codebase, cross-checked and signed off by a senior engineer, delivered as one prioritised report.
AI & LLM Security Audit
Testing against the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications, for teams shipping chatbots, copilots, or agentic AI features.
Common Questions
No. The Technical Code Review is a static, evidence-based assessment of your codebase, infrastructure, and development practices. It does not involve active exploitation or live attack simulation. If you need penetration testing, pair this review with our Rapid Pentest service.
The review covers both the application layer and the infrastructure it runs on: code structure and quality, dependency and library management, testing and performance, SEO and third-party integrations, version control and CI/CD, and hosting, security, and recovery. Every finding is mapped to a clear risk rating and prioritised for remediation.
Out of scope: penetration testing or active exploitation, mobile app review (unless agreed in writing), implementation or remediation work, and legal/compliance/regulatory assessments. The review identifies and prioritises risk — it does not fix it for you.
A flat fixed fee for a one-off review, with discounted per-review rates on recurring 6-monthly or 3-monthly plans. No hourly guesswork. If scope changes are needed during the engagement, we discuss them with you before any additional work or cost is incurred.
Read access to your repository, infrastructure diagrams, and relevant documentation (architecture docs, environment configs, CI/CD pipelines). We do not need write access or production credentials. The exact access list is confirmed during the kick-off and scoping phase.
You receive a structured report with an executive summary, application and infrastructure findings, a risk register, and prioritised recommendations. We then present the findings to your stakeholders in a live Q&A session, so technical and non-technical audiences both understand what to act on first.
