Managed Security Audit
An independent security review with a prioritised remediation plan, delivered by people who did not build the system.
Run as a recurring review, because a security posture is a moving target and last year's clean report says little about today.

Independent Judgement, Ranked by Risk
We review the system as it was built rather than as it was documented, and we order what we find by what an attacker would actually do with it.
The System You Actually Shipped
We read the architecture, the infrastructure as configured and the code as merged. That is where the gap between your security policy and your security posture becomes visible.
- Reviewed against code and live configuration
- Written assumptions tested, not accepted
Ranked by Exploitability
Findings are ordered by what can be reached and what it would yield, so the first week of engineering time goes where it removes the most risk rather than the most noise.
- Ordered by reachability and demonstrated impact
- No padding from duplicated root causes
Evidence Behind Every Finding
Each finding carries the request, the response and the path taken, so a developer can reproduce it and an auditor can follow it without a scheduled call.
- Reproduction steps for every finding
- Evidence attached to each item, not summarised
Closed, Then Verified
Findings are tracked to closure with named owners, and a verification pass confirms each fix before the audit is signed off and the report is filed.
- Tracked to closure with named owners
- Verification pass before sign-off
What the Audit Reviews
The four layers we look at, and the one that usually has the most to give.
Architecture & Threat Modelling
How the system is actually built, which trust boundaries exist, and which of them an attacker would aim at first.
Application & Code Review
Review against OWASP ASVS and your own risk profile, prioritised by exploitability rather than by scanner severity.
Cloud & Infrastructure Review
IAM, network exposure, storage permissions, secrets handling and logging coverage across your cloud estate.
Remediation & Retest
Findings tracked to closure with a verification pass, and evidence packaged for the auditor who asks next quarter.
Managed Security Audit Services Include
Modular capabilities you can adopt as a full engagement or phase in by risk priority.
Architecture Review
How the system is built, where the trust boundaries sit and which one an attacker targets first.
ArchitectureCode & Application Review
Reviewed against OWASP ASVS and your risk profile, on the paths that carry real data.
CodeCloud Posture Review
IAM, network exposure, storage permissions, secrets handling and logging coverage.
CloudThreat Modelling Workshops
Facilitated sessions with the engineers who built the system, recorded as a living document.
WorkshopDependency & Supply Chain Review
Third-party packages, versions and build integrity checked for the risks outside your code.
Supply chainFindings & Remediation Plan
A ranked list with the remediation order, effort and a named owner against each item.
RemediationQuarterly Re-Audit
The same review repeated on a schedule, tracking what closed and what is new since last time.
OngoingWhat the Audit Should Leave You With
The standard every audit is measured against, agreed before the review begins.
Findings ordered by exploitability, not severity label
Every finding backed by a reproduction and evidence
Remediation tracked to closure with named owners
Evidence packaged for the next compliance review

How the Audit Runs
Six steps from agreed scope to a signed-off report with closed findings.
-
01
Scope & Standards Alignment
Systems, standards and the risk profile agreed.
-
02
Architecture Review
As-built design, boundaries and data flows documented.
-
03
Deep-Dive Testing
Code, cloud and dependencies examined against the model.
-
04
Findings & Risk Ranking
Ranked by exploitability, with evidence attached.
-
05
Remediation Workshop
Findings walked through with the owning engineers.
-
06
Retest & Sign-Off
Fixes verified and the audit formally closed.

Is This Service Right for You?
A quick check on whether a managed security audit makes sense right now.
A good fit if
- You want an outside read on a system you have already built
- An audit, certification or customer questionnaire is coming up
- You are not sure where the real security risk actually sits
- You want findings with evidence, owners and a fix order
The wrong start if
- You need a penetration test run against your live systems
- The system changes weekly and nothing is stable to review
- Nobody is available to own remediation when the report lands
Frequently Asked Questions

Still have a question?
Ask an engineer, not a call centre. You get a straight answer within one business day.
Ask our teamAn audit looks at the whole system, covering architecture, identity, cloud and code, and tells you where the risk sits. A penetration test tries to break specific targets. They are complementary, and most programmes run the audit first.
At minimum annually, and quarterly where the system or the regulatory pressure changes quickly. The second review is cheaper, because the architecture and the remediation backlog are already written down.
Only the people you name, under an NDA if you want one signed before we look. The report is yours; we do not share it with auditors, customers or partners unless you ask us to.
Yes, on the paths that handle real data rather than a full line-by-line pass. That is where a manual review finds things scanners do not, and it keeps the review proportionate to the risk.
We walk the findings through with the engineers who own them, agree the remediation order, and verify the fixes in a follow-up pass. The point of the exercise is closed findings, not a document.
Yes. We map findings to the controls those frameworks expect and package the evidence, so your audit finds the artefacts already in place rather than starting from a blank page.
