Audit
Our technical audit gives you keen insight into your applications, systems and underlying processes. We analyze your environment, ask pointed questions and provide concrete recommendations.
A thorough audit of your technology, for more direction and targeted growth
With growth come tough questions. Is our tech architecture ready for the next phase? Does our application landscape still fit the updated vision? Can we rely on the infrastructure running now?
Unikoo's Tech Audit brings clarity where there is doubt. We completely map out your technical situation, test it against your ambitions and formulate concrete recommendations to reduce risks and increase efficiency.
Whether it concerns a single application or your entire landscape: you will receive a substantiated and usable report, including priorities and roadmap.
Who is this audit for?
This service is for organizations facing growth or change that need insight, direction and guidance:
- SaaS and product companies that want to test their technical choices against a changing vision or market need.
- Investors or VCs looking to assess technical risks for an acquisition or growth capital round.
- SMEs and scale-ups that have lost control of an organically grown tech landscape, and need an external perspective and plan of action.
Typical situations where we are called in
- You suspect that your current setup is no longer scalable or secure enough.
- You have little visibility into the strength of your internal or external tech teams.
- You are working with outdated systems, temporary solutions or unclear data flows.
- You are facing a strategic decision such as an investment, acquisition or product pivot and want to clearly identify risks before you choose direction.
What does a Tech Audit deliver?
Upon completion, you will have a clear, usable report that will immediately enable you to take the appropriate next steps.
- You get a clear picture of your current technical maturity.
- You will receive explicit answers to the questions that concern you.
- You know which components are at risk and which are already future-proof.
- You have a pragmatic plan that gives direction to your further digital development.
If desired, the Unikoo CTO-team can supervise or follow up the implementation. Fully customized and at the pace of your organization.
Our approach
Each audit starts from a keen understanding of your context. We take the time to understand your product vision or business strategy and link a customized analysis to it. Our methodology consists of five phases, each tailored to your needs:
- Intake
We map your organizational context, challenges and goals. We determine the scope and formulate together the key questions the audit must answer.
- Assessment
We map the current situation through interviews, documentation analysis and technical inspection. We examine your infrastructure, data structure, software stack, team, processes and documentation. The result: a clear overview of the risks you are currently running, the opportunities you are missing, and concrete recommendations for action.
- Validation
We put our findings next to your strategic goals and test our assumptions together with your team. Are they correct? Are we missing any context? Where necessary, we go deeper, so that the recommendations are not only substantiated, but also supported.
- Debrief
You will receive a clear and structured report with insights, risks and a recommendation plan. The findings are presented to internal and external stakeholders.
The complete turnaround time averages 6 to 15 working days.
Why choose Unikoo?
We combine deep technical expertise with strategic insight and a pragmatic approach. We understand that your systems have grown with your business, but as a result are not always built logically or robustly.
Unikoo brings calm to complexity, without overdoing it in solutions. We challenge where necessary, but always take into account your reality, your budget and your timing.
With our audit, you are stronger in discussions with internal teams, external partners or investors and have a clear foundation to build on.
What exactly do we examine?
For product and SaaS companies, we often dive deep into technical risks, team structure and roadmap alignment. For more traditional SMEs, the focus is usually on gaining control over digitalisation, challenging vendors and setting direction. In both cases, this structure helps us quickly get to the core.
The result of the Unikoo Tech-scan is a detailed report in which observations, associated concerns and recommendations are defined across various dimensions. These dimensions provide a structured framework to pragmatically form a complete picture of the organization's digital maturity. They are structured as follows:
Technology
What does the current landscape of applications, data, and infrastructure look like? What tech stacks are being used, and in what manner? To what extent are they scalable and how is quality maintained? What integrations and external dependencies exist? How about security and, where relevant, compliance?
Culture & people
We explore the structure and dynamics among the involved teams and assess the extent to which shared core values are present - and how they are conveyed. Is there a clear division of roles, and are responsibilities sharply defined? What management and communication styles are employed, and are they effective?
Processes & documentation
These teams operate according to explicitly or implicitly defined processes. Which processes impact the determination and execution of the tech vision, and how well are they documented and communicated? How accessible, qualitative, and up-to-date is this (and product) documentation?
Vision & roadmap
To what extent is the tech vision clearly defined and communicated? To what extent are the preceding dimensions aligned to support the business strategy? Do they enable the transformation of organically grown technology landscapes into more mature and sustainable ones?

Creating custom software requires good cooperation and communication. Thanks to the Unikoo agile project workflow, we ensure top results together!
