Technical audit and system recovery

Technical audit for unstable or poorly documented systems

We establish the condition of a web system when it is unstable, poorly documented, no longer has a maintainer or has become too risky to change.

We review what exists, reproduce the main faults and decide what needs attention now, what can wait and whether modernisation is worthwhile.

When reliable technical information is missing

Find the cause before choosing a fix

A visible fault may be one symptom of a larger problem. An audit separates urgent risks from longer-term weaknesses and prevents money being spent on isolated fixes without a plan.

The system is unstable

Pages, administration, integrations or background jobs fail intermittently and the cause is unknown.

Technical control has been lost

The previous developer is unavailable, access is incomplete or important knowledge exists only in the code.

Changes have stopped

Deployments fail, dependencies conflict or even a small request carries too much uncertainty.

There may be a security risk

The system is outdated, misconfigured or has suffered an incident and needs assessment before normal development continues.

The audit establishes whether to repair the system, modernise it in stages or replace it with a custom web system.

What the audit covers

System condition, risks and next actions

01

Code and dependencies

Technologies, plugins, custom modules, external services and their support status.

02

Architecture and data flows

How the system is structured, where information is stored and which parts depend on each other.

03

Reproducible faults

Failures, performance problems, blocked updates and other issues that can be repeated under known conditions.

04

Hosting and deployment

Environments, configuration, release process, logs, backups and available recovery options.

05

Risk and technical debt

Issues ordered by consequence, urgency, dependency and the cost of leaving them unresolved.

06

Recovery options

A comparison of urgent stabilisation, staged modernisation, partial replacement and a new system.

How we work

Establish the condition before recommending the fix

  1. 01

    Collect access and information

    Review the code, hosting, configuration, logs, administration accounts, backups and available documentation.

  2. 02

    Reproduce and classify the issues

    Confirm the main failures, identify their causes and separate immediate operational risk from long-term technical debt.

  3. 03

    Prepare an ordered action plan

    State what to do now, what can wait and whether repair, modernisation, partial replacement or a new system is justified.

Outcome

A clear diagnosis and action plan

You receive a written assessment, a prioritised action list and a clear explanation of what to do next.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Will the audit also fix the system?

The audit establishes the condition and order of work. Urgent stabilisation can be handled separately, but major changes should not start until their risks and dependencies are understood.

Will the report automatically recommend a rebuild?

No. A new system is recommended only when the current condition, future requirements and cost support that decision. Repair or staged modernisation is often enough.

What access is normally required?

Usually source code, hosting, administration, logs, backups, domain details and external service configuration. The exact list depends on the audit scope.

Not sure what has failed or where to start?

Tell us which platform is in use, which faults are visible and what access is still available.
