What a security audit covers, and what it doesn’t

An engineer reads how your app really works and writes up every problem in plain words, with a fixed price to fix each one. It’s $199 for our first 20 audits, then $299 with $99 off your first fix. It’s a code review, not a penetration test.

What the engineer checks

You choose the focus when you ask: safety, stability or getting ready to launch. For a safety audit the engineer looks at:

  • Who can read and change your database: the access rules on every table.
  • Whether one user can reach another user’s data through your app’s own requests.
  • Whether payments can be faked, skipped or changed in the browser.
  • Where secret keys live, and whether any reach the website.
  • Logins, sign-up and password reset: how they can be misused.
  • How you’d get back from a bad change: history, backups, rollback.

What you get back

  1. An engineer matched to your tools

    You see their name and why they were picked.

  2. A report in plain words

    Each problem: what could happen and how serious it is. Technical details come with the paid fix.

  3. A fixed price for every fix

    Nothing gets fixed until you approve it. You choose what gets fixed.

What it doesn’t cover

  • It isn’t a certification (such as SOC 2 or ISO 27001) and doesn’t replace one if a customer asks for it.
  • It isn’t a penetration test of your hosting, network or staff.
  • It reviews the app as it is now. Big changes later deserve another look.

Before you ask for one

Run the free scan first. It catches the problems anyone can see from outside in about 20 seconds, so the engineer’s time goes on what a scan can’t see.
