Platform Audit & Remediation Plan

A three-week audit of a platform built by four vendors over eight years — architecture, code, performance, security and accessibility — ending in a costed, ordered remediation plan.

Platform Audit & Remediation Plan

  • Architecture review
  • Due diligence
  • Load testing
  • Static analysis

The platform combined a digital library, facility booking, print services and event management, each contributed by a different vendor in a different language and style. Nobody held a complete picture, performance complaints were rising, and the next budget cycle needed a defensible plan.

A structured assessment across five dimensions with reproducible evidence for every finding, then a remediation roadmap ordered by cost of delay rather than by technical preference.

Leadership gained an independent, evidenced view of a platform no single vendor could explain, and could commission the next phase against a plan rather than a pitch.

  1. 01Architecture reconstruction from code, infrastructure and interviews
  2. 02Static analysis and dependency risk review across every subsystem
  3. 03Load testing to locate real bottlenecks instead of suspected ones
  4. 04Security review covering authentication, authorisation and data exposure
  5. 05Front-end performance and accessibility assessment against WCAG AA

Evidence, not opinion

Every finding in the register links to something reproducible: a load-test run, an analyser rule, a request trace. That is what made the recommendations survive contact with the incumbent vendors.
