Looking for a code review? We'll tell you where the issues are and how to fix them.


Helping ensure that you're building on good foundations.

Uncertainty about your codebase can be a real source of dread. If your business is growing quickly or changed developers in the past, you might think you can't afford to keep having the issues you're facing.

If it's becoming business critical, or costing you lost sales and customers, let's talk and sort this out ASAP.

Niall Morrison, Software Engineer at Novatura. I lead audit, takeover, and stabilisation strategies for business critical systems.

What problems will a codebase audit solve?

  • Identifying Security Issues

    We'll spot supply chain and application security vulnerabilities.

  • Reducing Operational Risk

    Discover risk areas you didn't know about, and plan for future problems.

  • Prioritising Next Steps

    We can help you decide what's urgent and what can afford to wait.

  • Knowing Where You Stand

    Restore clarity in your systems, and find out what you're working with.

  • Finding Defects

    Visual defects and bugs can be surfaced that you didn't know about.

  • Aligning with Industry Practices

    We can suggest where and how to follow industry standard practices.

Before we work on any legacy systems, we always conduct a thorough audit to understand exactly what's in place, and how things currently work. This is the perfect time to give us insight into any priority issues you'd like our help fixing.

What will you get from a Novatura codebase audit?

Every system is unique, so our process for every customer is too. Our aim is to provide you with clarity in where you are, and confidence in your next steps, while guiding you through this quickly and carefully.

Once we've got an NDA in place and you've shared relevant documents with us, such as read-only codebase access, we'll arrange a short call to walk through your system. If this is something we can support you with, we'll provide a preliminary roadmap and quote your for an audit. You'll walk away with a report of our findings, with quick wins you can implement this week and prioritised next steps.

  1. Security Assessment

    We'll identify the cyber-risks to the system, and provide a plan for patching and stabilisation.

  2. Code Quality Review

    We'll tell you if the code is good, and what we can do to fix and develop further.

  3. UI/UX Audit

    We'll spot defects and journey friction, and give you a list of improvements to make.

Frequently asked questions

Here are some of the most common questions we get asked by prospective partners looking to work with us.

Ask us a question

How can I trust the findings from your report?

We've built a reputation as a highly skilled UK-based team experienced at turnaround projects. Every claim we'll make in our report will be grounded in that experience and industry best practices. We don't need to be the ones who implement our suggestions either, you can present our report to another agency or an internal software team, and see what they think.

How soon could you look at this for me?

As a small team, we like to move quickly. If you request is urgent or business critical, we can get on it quickly (within days), and prioritise helping you until your system is stable.

I built a product with AI, are products built this way scalable?

Scalability is a loaded term and can mean a lot of things. It's common for us to speak with product owners who have doubts about the quality of their AI generated codebases. In short, they certainly can be, but the risks are unknown and might be quietly accumulating in the background. It's worth asking a different question: "What risks does my AI codebase present to my business?" For business-critical systems with a lot at stake, things could go very wrong without the right understanding in place. To find out, it's best to ask someone technical who knows exactly what to look for.

Why partner with us?

We're more than an agency that simply delivers against a brief. Our partners like to keep us involved, because important projects never truly end: they keep evolving.

High-quality solutions

We turn broad visions and needs into something deliverable. Along the way, we'll challenge your thinking, to make sure we're solving the real problems.

Small, focused changes

Our philosophy is to build on top of what you already have, to iterate and improve with time. We won't suggest a costly rebuild unless we think it's really worth it.

Long-term peace of mind

We can look after the systems we build so your team doesn't have to. We'll keep things running, so you can focus on running your operations.

Don't just take our word for it, hear from our clients.

Ethos Pharmaceutical Ltd.

The team at Novatura designed and built our new WordPress site, including a members-only area and events booking system - they provided a great service, working with us to define requirements, iterate on design and deliver the final product. We're thrilled with the results and would highly recommend them to other small businesses looking to launch a new online presence!

Novatura digitised our database, making it more accessible and secure. They also updated our website, making it more appealing and informative for our customers. The team were professional, with a young, innovative approach and individual touch.

The team at Novatura have been absolutely brilliant throughout building our new web platform. We are very pleased and would highly recommend their services.

We knew the problem we wanted to solve because we’d lived it ourselves. What we needed was the technical capability to turn that industry knowledge into a platform that could scale with our customers. Novatura challenged our thinking, helped us turn a very broad product vision into something deliverable, and gave us the flexibility to keep developing as customer feedback came in. The relationship has allowed us to stay focused on the commercial and industry side of SHIELD while having a technical team we trust behind the product.
