Take over a half-finished build

A review of what exists (the code, the accounts, the data, the risk) and a written read on whether continuing is cheaper than rebuilding. Sometimes the answer costs us the bigger job.

The problem

The previous developer is gone. Nobody has the hosting login, the code is undocumented, and you do not know whether to continue it or start again.

How we approach it

A review of what exists (the code, the accounts, the data, the risk) and a written read on whether continuing is cheaper than rebuilding. Sometimes the answer costs us the bigger job.

What changes

Access recovered, a documented picture of what you own, and a costed decision instead of a guess.

The service this falls under

Software development

Web apps, SaaS platforms, APIs and the systems underneath them.

1 to 7 days for most builds. A platform with many moving parts runs weeks to months, and the largest have gone to eight. It depends on the scope.

Security engineering

Reviews, hardening, bot and abuse defence, and privacy compliance.

1 to 5 days for a review. Remediation depends on what it finds, and an ongoing arrangement runs as long as you want it to.

Industries where this comes up

Security and defence technology

Vulnerability scanning that runs offline, cyber ranges, bot and abuse defence, and vision systems for sites where footage cannot leave the premises.
