For many projects, clients hire us to only run code audits. In other cases, we inherit legacy code, and going through a code audit is a requirement for working with us.

With time and repeated experience, we refined and strategized our audit process. It’s now a distinct work product that we offer to clients on its own.

Why do we do it? Accountability!

As said, we often get projects that were created by other teams — sometimes in-house techs and sometimes offshore providers. In these cases, clients ask us to just take over the work or to only fix the problems. But we don’t work like that.

The reality is that whenever we work on any project, we’re accountable for it in its entirety. We take over responsibility for the soundness of the technology, even if someone else built it. That means we dig deep into existing architecture to make sure it’s done right. Even when clients only ask for limited work on existing platforms, we know they expect a high-quality final product. We hold ourselves to high standards that meet their expectations and ours.
