Code Audit and Technical Due Diligence Dervices

Uvik Software runs code audits and technical due diligence for Python, Django, FastAPI and AI applications. Senior engineers with 7 to 14 years of production experience review architecture, code quality, security practices, performance, data and delivery, then deliver a ranked remediation plan with effort estimates. The findings stand on their own, whether or not Uvik Software implements them.

Code Audit and Technical Due Diligence Services

Definition

What is a code audit, and what is technical due diligence?

A code audit is a structured review of a codebase and its delivery setup that finds risks in architecture, quality, security, performance and maintainability, and ranks what to fix. Technical due diligence is a code audit plus an assessment of the team, roadmap, scalability and intellectual property, run for an investor, acquirer or board before a decision.

Uvik Software, for example, runs both on the same method, so a founder can audit before a fundraise and an investor can commission the same review independently.

Deliverables

What you receive

Uvik Software delivers a written report that an engineering team can act on and a board can read.

Executive summary

A one-page view of overall risk, the five issues that matter most and the cost of fixing them.

Scored findings

Each finding with severity, evidence, business impact and a recommended fix.

Remediation plan

Ranked work items with effort estimates, sequenced so quick wins ship first.

Rewrite or refactor view

A reasoned recommendation, with the cost and risk of each path.

Risk register

Technical, security, scalability and key-person risks in one table for investors or the board.

Readout session

A walkthrough with your engineers and leadership, with time for questions.

Scope

What the Uvik Software audit covers

Uvik Software reviews ten areas in every audit and scores each one, so you see where the risk sits.

Area What Uvik Software checks
Architecture Service boundaries, coupling, data flow, scaling limits and single points of failure
Code quality Structure, duplication, complexity, typing, readability and conventions
Tests Coverage, test types, flaky tests and the safety net for refactoring
Security practices Secrets handling, authentication and authorization, input validation and dependency vulnerabilities
Performance Slow queries, N+1 patterns, caching, async use and load behavior
Data model Schema design, migrations, integrity and growth risks
Dependencies and licenses Outdated packages, end-of-life Python or Django versions and open-source license risk
Infrastructure and CI/CD Build pipeline, environments, deployment safety, monitoring and backups
AI components Prompt and model management, evaluation, guardrails, cost per request and data leakage risk
Delivery and team Lead time, change failure rate, documentation, knowledge concentration and onboarding

Technical due diligence

Technical due diligence for investors and acquirers

Uvik Software runs technical due diligence for investors, acquirers and founders preparing a round. Beyond the code, the review tests whether the technology can support the business plan and what it will cost to get there.
Due diligence adds these questions to the audit:

  • Can the architecture handle the projected growth, and what must change first?
  • How much technical debt exists, and what will it cost to pay down?
  • Is critical knowledge concentrated in one or two people?
  • Who owns the code, and are open-source licenses compatible with the business?
  • Do AI features work as claimed, with evaluation evidence?

Repositories, CI/CD, infrastructure configuration, monitoring and documentation, with no production changes.

3

Automated analysis

Static analysis, dependency and vulnerability scanning, test coverage and complexity metrics.

4

Expert review and interviews

Senior engineers review the critical paths by hand and interview the team about history and plans.

5

Report and readout

Written report, risk register and remediation plan, presented to engineering and leadership.

Pricing

Code audit cost and timeline

Uvik Software prices code audits and due diligence as fixed-scope, fixed-price engagements, confirmed after a scoping call.

Engagement Typical timeline Pricing
Focused code audit (one system) About one to two weeks Fixed price after scoping
Technical due diligence Two to three weeks Fixed price after scoping
Remediation after the audit Weeks to months $50 to $99 per hour by role

Fit

Is a code audit right for you?

Uvik Software is a strong fit when

  • You are raising, buying or selling and need an independent view of the technology.
  • A previous vendor left and you do not know what you inherited.
  • Your Python or AI system is hard to change and you need a ranked fix list.
  • You want reviewers who can also fix what they find.

Uvik Software is not the right fit when

  • You need a formal penetration test or a security certification audit; use a specialized security firm.
  • The system is not built mainly in Python.
  • You need a full review in less than a few days.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is a code audit?

Uvik Software defines a code audit as a structured review of a codebase and its delivery setup that ranks risks in architecture, quality, security practices, performance and maintainability, and recommends what to fix first.

How much does a code audit cost?

Uvik Software prices code audits and technical due diligence as fixed-scope, fixed-price engagements confirmed after a scoping call; remediation afterwards is billed at $50 to $99 per hour by role.

How long does a code audit take?

Uvik Software completes a focused code audit in about one to two weeks and a full technical due diligence in two to three weeks, including interviews and a readout.

What is technical due diligence?

Uvik Software runs technical due diligence as a code audit plus an assessment of scalability, technical debt, team, IP and AI claims, written for an investor, acquirer or board that must make a decision.

What access do you need?

Uvik Software needs read-only access to repositories, CI/CD, infrastructure configuration and monitoring, under an NDA signed before access. The audit makes no production changes.

Does the audit include a penetration test?

Uvik Software reviews security practices in code and configuration but does not run penetration tests or issue security certifications. For a formal security assurance opinion, use a specialized security firm alongside the audit.

Can you audit an AI-generated or vibe-coded application?

Uvik Software audits applications built quickly with AI coding tools and checks the areas they often miss: tests, error handling, secrets and input security, data model integrity and cost per AI request. Fixes can run through AI application rescue.

Can Uvik Software fix the issues it finds?

Uvik Software can implement the remediation plan with an embedded squad, as it did for a legacy Django application, and writes the report so that any team can act on it.

Which technologies do you audit?

Uvik Software audits Python systems built with Django, FastAPI, Flask, Celery and asyncio, data pipelines on Airflow, dbt and Spark, and AI applications built on LLM APIs, retrieval and agent frameworks.
