What a first engagement should establish
Ask for a written scope, demonstration of the current state, documented findings, the highest-risk items, and acceptance criteria for the first usable milestone. Make sure your business controls its source repository, deployment account, and production data.
For “Application architecture review,” agree on a short scope with measurable acceptance criteria, responsible owners, and a clear way to verify progress.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers
- What should be checked for application architecture review?
Map sensitive data, login flows, authorization, dependencies, secrets, and attack surfaces. Perform scoped code and configuration review, validate access restrictions, and retest fixes.
- Will a security review guarantee there are no vulnerabilities?
No. Review reduces risk within its scope; continued updates, monitoring, and testing remain necessary.
- Should the existing application be repaired or replaced?
Decide after inspecting source-code access, security and data risks, dependency health, business workflows, and cost of changes. Replacement is not automatically necessary.
