Assessment & Audit

Know exactly where you stand before you commit to changing anything.

Understand Your Current Security & Software Environment

Modernization programs, compliance deadlines and security investments all start from the same assumption — that you know what you have. Most organizations know it in outline, not at the code-level detail those decisions require.

Our Assessment Capabilities

Six assessment types, run individually or together. Each one is fixed in scope and ends in findings your teams can act on.

[01]

+DevSecOps / AI-Driven SDLC Maturity

Value stream mapping and maturity evaluation across your delivery pipeline — including how AI is being used across it, and whether that use is governed.

[02]

+Security & Penetration Testing

Applications, APIs and infrastructure tested the way an attacker would approach them. Real exploitation paths, not theoretical severity scores.

[03]

+Software Supply Chain Audit

Every dependency, container and build artifact mapped into a complete SBOM. A clear view of what you inherit from others.

[04]

+Technical Due Diligence

Independent technical judgment on an acquisition, an investment or a vendor. What you are buying, and what comes with it.

[05]

+Compliance Readiness

Your current position against NIS2, DORA, the CRA, the EU AI Act or sector standards, with the gaps ranked by effort and exposure.

[06]

+Independent Maturity Rating

A scored, independent rating of how securely and repeatably you build software, against a defined model rather than an opinion. A baseline to show a board, a customer or an acquirer — and to re-rate against once the work is done.

How We Assess

Every assessment follows the same five steps, whatever its scope. You know at the outset what we will look at, what you will get back, and when.

+Scope

Boundaries, systems and depth agreed in writing before we start. Fixed scope, time-boxed delivery.

+Evidence

Code, pipelines, infrastructure as code, architecture records and interviews with the people who run them.

+Analysis

Testing and review against recognized standards, with every finding traced back to what produced it.

+Prioritization

Findings ranked by exposure and effort to fix, delivered as a risk-ranked backlog rather than a list.

+Handover

A report your engineers can act on and your board can read, walked through with both.

Assessment Outcomes

An assessment ends with four things in your hands.

+A ranked list of findings

Every issue traced to its architectural root cause, scored by exposure and effort, ordered so the sequence of work is already decided.

+Evidence you can present

Documentation and automated compliance artifacts that stand up in front of an auditor, a regulator, an acquirer or your own board.

+A remediation roadmap

What to fix, in what order, and what it will take — costed in effort rather than left as a wish list.

+A baseline to measure against

A recorded position to compare future assessments to, so progress is demonstrable rather than asserted.

Built for Critical & Regulated Industries

The standards differ by sector, and so does what counts as evidence. We assess against what your regulator, your certification body or your customer will actually ask for.

+Public Sector

Independent assessment of what vendors have delivered, before acceptance and before payment.

+Healthcare & MedTech

Device software assessed against IEC 62304 and MDR expectations, ahead of submission rather than after a finding.

+Aerospace & Defense

Assessment against DO-178C and DO-254 objectives, with the evidence trail a certification authority will follow.

+Energy & Critical Infrastructure

OT and IT assessed together, against NIS2 and CRA obligations that now cover both.

+Financial Services

Operational resilience and model governance assessed against DORA and the EU AI Act, at supervisory depth.

+Automotive & Rail

Functional safety and cybersecurity assessed against ISO 26262, EN 50716 and ISO/SAE 21434 together.

Decide the rest afterwards.

Fixed scope, fixed price, no obligation to continue.
