AI in this service

How AI changes technical audit at Grapefruit

We use AI-assisted static analysis to scan large codebases faster and surface patterns worth a human look, which leaves senior engineers more time for architecture and risk judgement. Every audit also checks AI readiness: data quality, API coverage and security boundaries that decide whether assistants or automation can be added safely.

Technical Audit: frequently asked questions

Cannot find your question? Ask a senior specialist directly.

What does a technical audit include?

Code quality and technical debt, architecture, infrastructure and hosting, performance, security, compliance (GDPR, cookies, accessibility basics) and the readiness of your data and APIs for AI features. Scope is agreed at the start, so the audit focuses on the questions behind your next decision.

When should we request a technical audit?

Before a major launch, migration, redesign, vendor change or investment round, when stability or performance problems keep returning, or when you inherit a platform from another team. It is much cheaper to know the real state before committing budget than after.

How long does a technical audit take?

Typically 2 to 3 weeks from access to readout. Very large platforms with many integrations or several applications may need longer; we confirm the timeline during scoping.

What do we need to provide?

Read access to code repositories, a staging or production environment, hosting and infrastructure information, existing documentation and one or two technical contacts for interviews. We sign an NDA before any access and follow your security rules.

Will we get actionable recommendations or just a list of problems?

Actionable recommendations. Findings are prioritised by risk and business impact, with a suggested fix and effort range for each, plus strategic options if the platform needs more than fixes. You can implement them with us, in-house or with another vendor.

Do you check for security risks?

Yes. We review dependencies, authentication and session handling, server and cloud configuration, data exposure and common vulnerabilities based on OWASP guidance. A technical audit is not a full penetration test; if one is needed, we tell you and scope it separately.
