Architecture & data
System boundaries, data ownership, coupling, duplication, state, concurrency and scaling assumptions.
Independent AI code review / UK
A senior engineering review for AI-built and AI-assisted applications — before hidden shortcuts become expensive surprises.
UK-based and available internationally. Independent of AI coding platforms and scanning vendors.
01 / Why review it
AI is very good at producing the next plausible piece of code. It is less good at taking responsibility for the whole system. That part is still yours — or, for the duration of the review, ours.
02 / Scope
Automated analysis is useful, and we use it where it helps. It cannot understand why the software exists, who depends on it or what a failure would actually cost. That needs manual investigation and engineering judgement.
System boundaries, data ownership, coupling, duplication, state, concurrency and scaling assumptions.
Authentication, authorisation, validation, secrets, sensitive data, exposed operations and dependency risk.
Failure handling, retries, timeouts, deployment, rollback, backups, logs, metrics and alerts.
Code organisation, tests, dependencies, consistency, documentation and the cost of future change.
03 / Output
A legible view of the important components, boundaries and data paths.
Evidence-backed issues grouped by impact, likelihood and urgency.
What must happen now, what can wait and what should be monitored.
A direct walkthrough for technical and non-technical decision-makers.
04 / Approach
A small internal tool and a public platform handling customer data should not be judged against an identical checklist.
The review considers exposure, data sensitivity, recoverability, user impact, expected lifespan and the team's ability to operate the system. This prevents low-value perfectionism while keeping serious risk visible.
Siege21 assurance trace: inspect → explain → repair → verify.
05 / Questions
The service applies whether an application was mostly generated from prompts, built with an AI coding assistant, created using a low-code platform or simply developed unusually quickly. The provenance matters less than the need for independent assurance.
No responsible reviewer should promise that. The audit examines common and context-specific security risks in the code and architecture, but it is not automatically a formal penetration test or certification.
Yes. Reviewing before launch often creates more options and avoids building further on unstable foundations. The scope will distinguish incomplete work from genuine defects.
Siege21's expertise is in web applications, C#/.NET, Typescript / Javascript, APIs, backend services, SQL, search and modern deployment environments. Suitability for a particular stack is confirmed honestly before engagement.
Yes. Siege21 is UK-based and works remotely with international clients where the project, access and working arrangements are suitable.
