Audit & consulting

An outside, technical view of your applications and your organisation, so you can decide on facts and know where to start.

01Approach

Taking over an application developed by a third party, understanding why a site is slowing down, assessing technical debt before investing, choosing between a rebuild and an evolution: these decisions commit significant budgets. An independent audit gives you what you need to decide.
Our audits are carried out by engineers who develop and run applications every day. We read the code, measure performance, check security and interview the teams: the diagnosis rests on what we observe, not on a theoretical grid.
The deliverable is designed to be used: a clear assessment, risks ranked by severity, and a prioritised, costed action plan, with quick wins on one side and long-term work on the other. We can then support you in carrying it out, or hand it over to your teams.

Scope of work

  • Code and architecture audit
  • Performance audit
  • Application security audit
  • Audit before takeover or acquisition
  • Technical debt assessment
  • Modernisation roadmap

02Expertise

Technical audit

The real state of your application: code quality, architecture, dependencies, tests, security and performance.
  • Code review and static analysis
  • Load and security testing
  • Risk map by severity

Organisational audit

How the software is produced matters as much as the software itself: methods, tooling, decision-making and delivery channels.
  • Development and release processes
  • Tooling, CI/CD and testing practices
  • Roles, skills and weak points

Consulting and roadmap

Turn the diagnosis into decisions: compared scenarios, budget, schedule, and support with implementation if you wish.
  • Rebuild, evolution or migration scenarios
  • Prioritised, costed action plan
  • Support and follow-up of results

03Methods & tools

A diagnosis based on measurements

Tools to measure objectively, and the experience of our engineers to interpret the results.

Code quality

Measure technical debt.

  • SonarQube
  • Code review
  • Dependency analysis
  • Test coverage

Performance

Find the real bottleneck.

  • Load testing
  • Application profiling
  • Core Web Vitals
  • Grafana

Security

Identify flaws before they are exploited.

  • OWASP framework
  • Penetration testing
  • Access review
  • Secrets management

Architecture & organisation

Understand the system and the people who keep it running.

  • Application mapping
  • Team interviews
  • CI/CD review
  • Documentation

04Why iones

What an iones audit brings you

An independent opinion, delivered by practitioners, and a plan you can actually execute.

An objective view

We have no interest in defending the existing system or selling a rebuild: we describe what we find, with evidence.

Ranked risks

Each finding is ranked by severity and by effort to fix, so that what matters is dealt with first.

An actionable plan

Concrete, costed, ordered recommendations that your teams or ours can carry out.

Readable by all

A summary for management, technical detail for the teams: everyone finds what they need to decide.
