Are your software issues becoming business critical? We can help you patch and stabilise things quickly.


We'll review things, tell you where the issues are, and fix them.

It's important to keep software up to date. When long-term support or security updates have stopped for your system, it might become vulnerable and accumulate risk quietly in ways you can't see.

If your legacy systems are unreliable, or in need of an urgent upgrade, let's talk and plan a route back to stability.

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

What will stabilisation bring me?

  • Patched Security Vulnerabilities

    Critical and high-severity vulnerabilities will be resolved.

  • Data Leak Prevention

    Reduce your cyber-threat exposure across supply chains and application code.

  • Business Loss Mitigation

    Stop losing sales and customers due to reliability or security concerns.

  • Improved Reliability

    Fix bugs and defects, providing stable functionality to your users.

  • Peace of Mind

    Knowing your system is up to date will let you focus on other things.

Temporary fixes only go so far. We often say to clients who come to us with outdated software supply chains: "Your house isn’t on fire now, but it’s quietly accumulating kindling." We can act now, and help you plan for the future.

How do I get this looked at?

Every system is unique, so our process for every customer is too. Our aim is to provide you with stability, and confidence in your next steps, while guiding you through this quickly and carefully. We'll act in days, not weeks.

We'll get an NDA in place so you can share relevant materials with us, such as read-only codebase access. From there, we'll arrange a short call, decide if we can support you, and organise a codebase audit. In our report, we'll provide our findings and a prioritised roadmap, with estimated timelines and costs for urgent fixes (which we bill as time and materials for work like this). You'll walk away with a stable system, and a plan for the future.

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.

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.

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.

Is Stabilisation & Rescue not quite what you're looking for?
