Z7 Solutions · Application Health Check
A disciplined, read-only assessment of any codebase, graded across twelve verticals and handed back as a report card you can act on or take to a board.
Read-only. Nothing in your code is changed. Security, data, and compliance weighted double.
What the assessment delivers
We map the app before we judge it, then grade every layer that matters, from architecture and security to data, resilience, and compliance. You get one clear picture and a plan, not a tool dump.
Before any grade, we map the stack, the entry points, the data, and the risk surfaces from the code itself, so every judgment rests on what is actually there.
Twelve verticals, each with a clear letter grade and the single risk that matters most. Architecture, security, data, performance, resilience, compliance, and more.
Every finding points to a line of code, a command with its output, or a config value. Anything we cannot prove is dropped, not softened.
Every issue is sized and prioritized, so you know what to fix first, what it takes, and which work protects revenue or closes real risk.
One exploitable hole caps the whole grade, no matter how strong the rest. A team cannot average past the one thing that would get them breached.
We assess, we do not touch. Diagnosis and repair are separate engagements, which keeps the evidence clean and the grade honest.
Why the grade holds up
Security, data, and compliance count double, and a single unresolved critical issue caps the whole score, no matter how strong everything else is. That is the part buyers trust: a good average can never hide the one gap that would get you breached.
Full coverage
Every vertical is assessed, or explicitly marked not applicable with a reason. These are the twelve.
Boundaries, layering, and whether dependencies point one way.
Readable, cohesive code with the linter actually enforced.
Authentication, authorization, injection, and secrets. Weighted double.
Reversible schema changes, real constraints, and a tested restore.
Indexed hot paths, bounded queries, and no N+1 surprises.
Timeouts, retries, idempotency, and graceful failure.
Honest health checks, real alerting, and traceable logs.
Locked dependencies, scanned for known vulnerabilities.
Core flows covered and the gates that actually block a merge.
Accessible, resilient interfaces with every state designed.
A README that works and runbooks for the bad day.
PII mapped, retention enforced, obligations met. Weighted double.
The Z7 difference
We run this assessment against our own security products at a higher bar than we hold anyone else to, so the method is proven where the stakes are highest, not just described on a slide.
And because software drifts, the report card is a starting point. We can re-grade on a cadence and catch decay before it compounds.
Line numbers and command output, not adjectives. What we cannot prove does not ship in the report.
The grade comes first and comes clean. Fixing what it finds is a separate, scoped engagement you choose to take.
How we engage
A clear path from a first read to a system that stays healthy, with no surprises and nothing you did not ask for.
A fixed-scope diagnostic. The full profile, the twelve-vertical grade, and a costed fix list. Nothing in your code changes.
We fix the items you choose, in the order you choose, built to standard and closed with a production ship gate.
Quarterly re-grades trended over time, a gate on every release, and drift caught before it costs you.
