FAQ
You can review examples of our Public Reports on GitHub. Additionally, during the audit process we first provide a private version of the report that is shared exclusively with you.
The cost of an audit is determined by the volume and complexity of the code you present. These factors directly influence the time needed for a comprehensive review.
Code that is well-prepared, thoroughly tested, and adequately commented often results in a more cost-effective audit.
For more details on how we estimate costs, you can check our Estimation Process.
Should we identify a critical vulnerability during the audit, we will promptly notify you and provide actionable recommendations. While we offer guidance, the implementation of any code fixes is generally your team’s responsibility.
While every project has its nuances, audit durations typically range from one week to a month. If you’re on a tight schedule nearing a release date, our priority track allows us to begin work within a week of your inquiry.
