.NET Legacy Software Audit
Stop guessing. Get a forensic "White Box" assessment of your software’s health.
You built custom software to give your business an edge. But lately, that asset feels more like a liability.
Fear of deploying
Do you hold your breath every time you release an update?
Lost knowledge
Did the original developers leave, taking the "how it works" with them?
Performance drift
Is the system slower, buggier, or crashing more often?
You don’t need a rewrite yet. You need a diagnosis
Let us assess and report back on the state of your .NET software.
What is the Legacy Stability Audit?
This is the first step in our Audit > Stabilise > Modernise framework.
Over 3 to 5 days, our senior directors perform a "White Box" review. We don't just look at the application from the outside; we analyse the source code, database schemas, and infrastructure configurations to identify the technical debt and structural risks that are slowing you down.
The 5 Pillars of Our Assessment
We categorize our findings into five key areas of software health, providing you with a Red-Amber-Green (RAG) score for each.
Architecture & Code Quality
We catalog your Technology Stack to identify End-of-Life (EOL) risks. We then measure Maintainability & Technical Debt, scanning for:
- Cyclomatic Complexity & Class Coupling (how hard is it to change?)
- 3rd Party Library risks (Nuget packages)
- Code Hygiene & Standardisation
Database Health Check
A poor data layer impedes scalability. We review:
- Structural Integrity: Does the schema enforce data correctness?
- Indexing & Performance: Identifying missing indexes and slow queries.
- ORM Review: Checking for anti-patterns like "N+1 queries" or over-fetching data.
DevOps & Infrastructure
We review the maturity of your build and deployment environment:
- Source Control (Git): Are you using proper branching strategies or suffering from "Spaghetti merges"?
- CI/CD Automation: Moving you away from manual "works on my machine" deployments.
- Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Ensuring your environment is reproducible and drift-free.
Security & Compliance
We identify vulnerability exposure and adherence to secure coding standards, looking for:
- Vulnerabilities: SQL Injection, XSS, and secrets hidden in source code.
- Error Handling: Ensuring failures don't leak sensitive system details to attackers.
- Database Access: Verifying the "Principle of Least Privilege".
Auditing & Data Retention
We ensure your system is compliant and traceable:
- Traceability: Can you track who did what and when (logins, data mods)?
- Lifecycle Management: Do you have a strategy for archiving or deleting old data to reduce GDPR liability?
The Deliverables: No Fluff, Just Action
You won't get a generic report. You receive a structured Executive Summary and detailed technical appendix containing:
RAG Scorecard:
A clear visualization of your system's health across all 5 pillars.
Risk Registry:
A prioritized list of findings (e.g., "Critical: Unencrypted connections" vs. "Low: Comment Density").
The Modernisation Roadmap:
A strategic plan to Stabilise the patient now and Modernise it later.
Who is this for?
- MDs & Founders: Who need to know if their technical investment is safe.
- IT Managers: Who inherited a system they didn't build and need a map of the territory.
- Investors: Who need technical due diligence before acquiring a company with custom IP.
