We Will Help You
Identify any flaws in your development lifecycle
With an unbiased evaluation of your current products, internal processes and documents, we’ll help you identify the strengths, weaknesses and any potential risks within your SDLC (Software Development Lifecycle) – for a stronger software solution.
Create a solid software action plan
Together, we’ll identify any issues with your project maturity and business analysis processes, using stringent diagnostics. So you’ll be able to maximise future efficiency.
Minimise post-release product issues
We’ll validate the end-to-end performance of your applications, to help you detect software defects before your product goes live. So you can proactively identify and fix defects that could hinder product performance and damage your brand.
Build a roadmap
We’ll help you implement continuous QA that allows you to quickly adapt to the changing needs of your customers, so you can focus on scaling your business. Our independent testing service offers you an impartial second opinion and a bigger likelihood of spotting pitfalls and risks.
Evaluate your project artefacts
We’ll put your project documentation and software outputs (Dev, QA, BA, UX, PM,  InfoDev, DevOps streams) through their paces – helping you improve business maturity.
Get your product to market faster
Our software audit helps you identify bottlenecks within your software, development and\or testing processes – saving your valuable time and revenue.
What We Offer
At Plexteq, we offer comprehensive software audit services that assess every critical aspect of your system. Our goal is to identify inefficiencies, risks, and opportunities for improvement to ensure your software is optimized for performance, scalability, and security.
↳ Software Code Audit
Our code review involves a thorough analysis of your product codebases to assess its quality, structure, technical debt and adherence to best practices. We look for potential areas of improvement, such as redundant code, inconsistencies, misalignment with business processes, or poor documentation, to enhance the maintainability, readability, and efficiency of your software.
↳ Performance Analysis
We assess the speed, efficiency, and resource usage of your system to identify areas where performance can be optimized. This includes analyzing response times, server utilization, and load balancing. Our goal is to help you reduce latency, enhance user experience, and improve system responsiveness, ensuring your software can handle increasing demands.
​
↳ Software Architecture Audit
Plexteq experts evaluate the overall design and structure of your system to ensure it is reliable and aligned with your business goals. This software audit service identifies potential bottlenecks, scalability issues, or areas where the system might struggle to grow as your business expands. We provide recommendations on how to improve your architecture to support future growth and technological changes.
↳ Infrastructure Evaluation
In this phase, we review your current infrastructure, including hardware, cloud setups, and integrations with other systems. We assess whether your infrastructure is optimized for performance and cost efficiency, ensuring that it can scale to meet future demands while minimizing unnecessary expenses.
↳ Process Audit
An SDLC process audit evaluates whether your software development lifecycle is capable of producing secure software consistently. Rather than testing a single application or release, we assess the process itself - how security is integrated across requirements, design, coding, code review, testing, and deployment.
↳ Security Review
Our security review focuses on identifying vulnerabilities within your system and ensuring that your software complies with the relevant industry standards and regulations, such as GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, DORA and others. We examine data protection practices, access control, encryption, and overall security measures to help safeguard your system from potential threats and data breaches.
↳ Technical Debt Assessment
We identify areas where legacy code or outdated technologies may be slowing down development, increasing maintenance costs, or preventing your system from scaling effectively. By recognizing technical debt, we help you prioritize which parts of your system need modernization or refactoring to align with current business requirements.
How It Works
Request
1. Preparation
The first step sets the foundation for the audit.
This includes defining the audit goals, scope, and the specific needs of the client. It is essential to clarify the desired outcomes and ensure alignment with business objectives.
5. Presentation and feedback
The audit results are presented to the client, highlighting key findings, potential risks, and suggested improvements.
This step includes a feedback session to clarify any points and ensure the client’s concerns are addressed.
2. Data collection and analysis
During this phase, a comprehensive review of the current software system is conducted.
Key aspects such as architecture, security, code quality, performance, and scalability are evaluated. Data is gathered from various sources, including source code repositories, documentation, and system logs.
6. Co-creation of an action plan
In collaboration with the client, our experts develop an actionable plan based on the audit’s recommendations. This plan outlines specific steps for improving the software and includes timelines, milestones, and priorities.
3. Investigation and evaluation
This phase focuses on a deep dive into the software’s current state. The team identifies issues related to performance bottlenecks, security vulnerabilities, scalability concerns, and code maintainability.
We also assess compliance with best practices and industry standards.
7. Implementation of recommendations
Once the action plan is established, the team begins implementing the necessary changes to optimize code quality, performance, security, and overall functionality. This may include code refactoring, optimizing algorithms, or enhancing security measures.
4. Report
preparation
A detailed audit report is created to present the findings, including a list of identified issues and recommendations for improvement.
This report serves as the foundation for the next steps, which involve addressing the findings.
8. Post-audit control and follow-up
After the implementation phase, ongoing monitoring and evaluation take place to ensure that the recommendations have been effectively applied and that the software is performing as expected. This phase includes a follow-up assessment to confirm improvements.

Who We Help
Enterprises With Legacy Systems
Large enterprises often operate with legacy systems, facing performance issues, high maintenance costs, and integration challenges. A code audit identifies outdated technologies, inefficiencies, and areas for improvement, helping businesses modernize and streamline their infrastructure.
Companies in Mergers and Acquisitions
During mergers or acquisitions, a software audit is critical for assessing the quality and value of the target company’s software assets. In this case, software audit services bring you a comprehensive review of existing systems, identifying risks, technical debt, and areas needing improvement.
Organizations Seeking Compliance
Businesses in regulated industries (e.g., finance or healthcare) must ensure compliance with their specific standards (like HIPAA, PCI DSS, DORA). The audit helps verify that your systems adhere to these regulations, reducing the risk of non-compliance and safeguarding customer trust.
Businesses Experiencing Performance Issues
If your software is experiencing performance bottlenecks or downtimes, a software audit can identify the root causes. Whether it’s code inefficiency, infrastructure limitations, or poor system architecture, the audit provides the insights needed to optimize performance and ensure a smooth user experience.
Companies Looking to Reduce Maintenance Costs
If your organization spends excessive time and resources on maintaining software, it’s time to evaluate its efficiency. A software audit identifies areas of technical debt or inefficiencies and provides recommendations for reducing maintenance costs, enabling your team to focus on innovation instead of constant fixes.
Deliverables
After completing the audit, you will receive a comprehensive document detailing all the findings, along with actionable recommendations to improve your system. Additionally, we can provide training for your core team to ensure they have the knowledge and skills to implement the recommended changes and maintain the improvements moving forward.
