Security audits

A structured view of where risk is concentrated.

A security audit should give you a prioritised technical picture, not a long generic checklist. We review the relevant application and environment controls, document significant findings and separate urgent exposure from lower-risk hardening work.

Where we add value

Security audits shaped around the problem, not a generic package

Every security audits requirement has a different starting point. We review the existing environment, the people who use it, the systems it depends on and the commercial outcome before deciding what should be built or changed.

That discovery matters because technical shortcuts often move cost into support, manual work or future redevelopment. Our aim is to make the solution understandable, maintainable and appropriate to the risk.

Application review

Assess platform versions, extensions, custom code exposure and configuration issues.

Access review

Examine administrative accounts, privileges and authentication controls.

Infrastructure posture

Review relevant web server, permissions, network-facing services and WAF/CDN configuration.

Operational controls

Consider patching, backups, logging, deployment and recovery procedures.

How we work

Start with clarity, then build in controlled increments

We favour clear requirements, visible priorities and reviewable releases. Where uncertainty exists, we reduce it before committing to a large build.

Testing, documentation, version control, deployment planning and communication are treated as part of delivery rather than optional extras added at the end.

Technical coverage

Technology selected around the requirement

The exact stack depends on the current system and the work required. We can combine core Midoriweb expertise with specialists from our wider engineering team when a project needs additional skills.

Engagement options

Choose the level of ownership you need

Some clients need a complete managed project; others need experienced capacity inside an existing team. We support both models.

Managed project

Midoriweb owns an agreed scope, coordinates delivery and provides a clear route from discovery to release.

Specialist workstream

Bring us into one defined area such as frontend, backend, integrations, performance or infrastructure.

Team augmentation

Add one or more developers to increase capacity for a fixed period or ongoing roadmap.

Ongoing technical partner

Combine support, maintenance, improvements and roadmap delivery in a continuing engagement.

Frequently asked questions

Questions to consider before you start

Is this the same as a formal penetration test?

No. A Midoriweb engineering security audit is a technical review. If a certified penetration test is required, that should be scoped with an appropriate specialist.

Do you fix issues after the audit?

Yes, where they fall within our capability and access model.

Can you audit a live production site?

Yes, with care around any potentially intrusive checks.

Will the audit include priorities?

Yes. Findings should be prioritised by likely impact and urgency rather than presented as an undifferentiated list.
