Secrets and credentials
What is in the repository, in the CI configuration and hardcoded as a fallback in code that only runs in production. This is the single most common finding.
rescue & security / specialist delivery
Pre-investment security audit.
An independent security and code audit before a raise, acquisition or enterprise procurement. Findings, risk ranking and a remediation plan — yours whether or not you continue with us.

Scope
What this service covers.
Technical due diligence is a bad time to discover that credentials are committed to the repository, that the admin API has no rate limiting, or that nobody has ever restored a backup. The findings are the same either way; what changes is whether you found them or they did, and what that does to the price.
Exposed surfaces
Public endpoints, admin routes, upload handlers and anything that answers an unauthenticated request more helpfully than it should.
Authentication and access
Token handling, session lifetime, role boundaries and whether the permission model is enforced server-side or merely reflected in the UI.
Data integrity and privacy
What personal data you hold, where it goes, and whether the answers survive a GDPR question from a buyer's lawyer.
Operational resilience
Backups, restore path, monitoring, dependency currency and what happens when the one person who knows the deploy process is on holiday.
A remediation plan with numbers
Ranked by risk, with effort attached, so you can decide what to fix before the process and what to disclose during it.

Common questions
Planning the work.
01Do we have to commit to the fixes?+
No. The audit stands alone — you get the findings and the plan whether or not we do the remediation.
02How long does it take?+
Days rather than weeks for most codebases. We would rather give you a fast, honest read than a slow, exhaustive one that arrives after the deal moves.
03Will you sign an NDA?+
Yes, as a matter of course.
