We've had the pleasure of working with Pessimistic since 2021, and their integrity and consistency have truly impressed us.

Not only do they deliver on their promises, but they also maintain a high standard of work throughout the project.

It's a partnership we value and continue to interact with on a regular basis.

Audit companies space can be pretty wild - there are loud names that provide sub-par services and there are ones that take ages to finalize the reports (delaying the product launch!)

After running through an extended search quest, we made the right decision to go with Pessimistic. Quality, responsiveness, vibe - everything was great. 

They walk an extra mile to make you confident everything is going to work as it should!

FAQ

How Does the Audit Report Look?

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.

How Is the Cost of an Audit Estimated?

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.

What Happens If a Critical Vulnerability Is Found?

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.

How Long Does the Audit Take and When Can We Start?

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.
