A fixed-scope technical audit for legacy PHP, WordPress, Laravel, and Linux systems. We map the stack, surface risks, and give you a practical modernization roadmap without starting a rewrite.
The audit is built for systems that still matter commercially but no longer feel easy to change.
Inherited client systems that need a credible quote, rescue path, or white-label technical read.
Revenue-critical products where a rewrite feels expensive but the current stack feels risky.
Old web systems with unclear backups, server history, deploy process, or developer ownership.
The work is read-only and focused on the production risk surface: the codebase, runtime, dependencies, server, backups, deploy flow, and knowledge gaps.
PHP, framework, CMS, database, server OS, and known end-of-life exposure.
Composer packages, WordPress plugins, themes, system packages, and obvious abandoned parts.
Whether backups exist, where they live, and whether a restore path is credible.
How changes move from developer machine to production, including rollback confidence.
Where knowledge is concentrated, where documentation is missing, and where change feels dangerous.
Configuration and version-risk observations. This is not a penetration test.
The output is designed to support a decision: stabilize, upgrade, hand over, care for the system, or leave it alone for now.
Small systems can move faster. Multi-app or agency white-label work may need extra scoping before the clock starts.
Confirm the system boundary, NDA needs, and read-only access path.
Map runtime versions, CMS/framework, packages, hosting, backup jobs, and deploy flow.
Separate urgent risk from background entropy, then size likely remediation paths.
Turn findings into a practical 30 / 60 / 90-day plan with owner and effort notes.
Deliver the report and walk through priority decisions in plain language.
Most inherited agency systems start with the Agency Audit at €1,250. Audit Lite is for small, single-site systems.
Small WordPress/PHP site
Good fit when the site has one clear production surface and no custom hosting puzzle.
Entry-level inherited-site audit before quoting fixes.
Typical inherited WP/WooCommerce/Laravel system
Use this when the agency needs a client-ready deliverable and the hosting/deploy path matters.
White-label technical audit and 30/60/90 roadmap.
Multi-app, VPS-heavy, custom PHP/Laravel
Triggered by multiple apps, custom VPS setup, critical integrations, unclear restore paths, or estimate-ready remediation scope.
Senior technical discovery for a risky takeover or larger modernization proposal.
No. The audit is read-only. Any urgent production change belongs in a separately scoped sprint and needs backup confirmation, named authorization, and a rollback plan.
Usually yes, but read-only is enough for the audit. We do not accept production access unless a named responsible owner has authorized it.
No. We include security posture observations, but this is not penetration testing, compliance certification, active vulnerability exploitation, or incident response.
Yes. The report can be prepared behind your brand, with no client contact unless you invite us in.
Most inherited agency systems start with the Agency Audit at €1,250. Audit Lite is for small, single-site systems. Stack Audit Plus is for multi-app, VPS-heavy, or integration-heavy systems.
Not without written approval. Client code, logs, credentials, and personal data are not processed through external AI tools unless the scope explicitly allows it.
You can stop with the report, hand it to your team, or scope a stabilization sprint, upgrade, handover, or care plan.
We do not take over systems where no responsible owner can approve access and changes. Pen testing, compliance certification, active breach response, and legal review belong with specialist providers.
That is exactly when the audit helps. It turns a vague risky system into a prioritized plan that can be quoted and sequenced.
