No deck required. Describe the codebase and the decision behind the audit. We'll recommend a package, quote a fixed price and sign an NDA within 48 hours.

Common reasons

  • Delivery is slowing
  • Inherited from a vendor
  • Before a raise or sale
  • Security worries
  • Modernization planning
Where audits start

Nobody orders an audit when everything is fine.

Teams usually call us when one of these starts to hurt. Pick the one that sounds familiar.

Velocity

Features that took days now take weeks.

Nobody can point to exactly why. The audit finds where complexity, coupling and missing tests are taxing every change.

The audit answers
  • Which parts of the code slow every release
  • What to refactor first for the biggest speed-up
  • How much effort each fix takes
Who reads your code

Senior engineers, not junior auditors.

The same engineers who build and rescue production systems audit the one you run today.

Tool report vs. audit

A scanner gives you 2,000 warnings. We give you the 20 that matter.

Static analysis is a starting point, not an answer. Our engineers read the code, confirm what's real and rank it by what it costs your business.

In their words

What clients say about working through technical risk.

Engineering and deal leaders who have had Sphere read their code, or the code they were about to buy.

“Our experience with Sphere and their team has been and continues to be fantastic. We keep throwing new projects at them, and they keep knocking them out of the park (including the rescue of a project that was previously bungled by another vendor).”
Selah Ben-HaimVP of Engineering, Prominence Advisors
$3.2M
remediation costs found before close
“Sphere caught $3.2M in infrastructure remediation costs our financial team had no visibility into. That single finding changed our valuation offer and saved us from a costly post-close surprise.”
Managing DirectorChicago-based PE firm
“As a founder preparing for a sale, having Sphere on our side gave us credibility with every buyer's technical team. It shortened the due diligence phase by weeks.”
CEOSeries C FinTech company (sold 2024)
Who the audit is for

Three audiences. The same codebase.

CTOs & engineering leaders

An independent, evidence-based read on your own codebase: to win budget, prioritize the backlog or validate your team's instincts with data.

PE firms & investors

A standalone technical read on a portfolio company or prospective investment, narrower and faster than full technical due diligence.

Acquirers

A focused codebase assessment for deals where the technology question is narrower than a full diligence scope.

Need the full deal picture?

Technical due diligence adds team, infrastructure, security, compliance and a 100-day post-close plan, in four weeks or less.

Questions

Code audits, answered directly.

Don't see yours? Ask it on the scoping call.

Request a code audit scoping call
How long does a code audit take?

It depends on the package. A high-level scorecard takes about one week, a Deep Dive about four weeks, and multi-repo or regulated audits run four weeks or more. The timeline is fixed at the scoping call.

What do we get at the end?

A written report with prioritized findings, each traced to a real file, function or dependency, with effort and cost estimates for remediation and a sequenced roadmap. We walk your team through it live.

How is this different from running a static analysis tool?

Tools produce long lists of warnings. Our engineers read the code and architecture, confirm what actually matters for your product, and rank it by risk and effort. We use tooling too, but the findings come from people.

Do you need full access to our code?

We need read access to the repositories in scope, plus a few conversations with the people who know the system. Access is provisioned securely, and we can sign an NDA before anything is shared.

Is a code audit the same as technical due diligence?

A code audit is narrower and faster: it focuses on the codebase. Technical due diligence covers the full picture for a deal, including team, infrastructure, security, compliance and a 100-day plan.

What does it cost?

It depends on the size of the codebase and the package. We quote a fixed price at the scoping call, before any work begins.

Next step

Stop guessing what's wrong with your codebase.

Book a scoping call. You'll leave with:

  • The package that fits your decision
  • A fixed price and a timeline
  • What we need to get started
