Security

Found: database key visible in the browser.

An example of what a scan of an AI-built app turns up. Figures are illustrative.

Sound familiar?

  • Every fix breaks something else.

    Adding a small feature takes days.

  • It slows down as users grow.

    Fine with 10 people, falling over at 1,000.

  • Nobody can explain the code.

    No documentation, no handover.

  • The developer has gone.

    Freelancer or agency stopped replying.

  • Deployments are scary.

    Nobody wants to touch production.

  • You're not sure it's secure.

    Customer data, payments, logins.

Who we rescue

AI-built apps

Made with Lovable, Bolt, Cursor, Replit or similar, and now hitting real users.

Abandoned projects

Half-finished builds where the developer or agency has gone.

Inherited systems

Software you've taken over through an acquisition, a new role, or a supplier change.

Customer data makes security a legal duty

AI-built apps often ship with exposed database keys, logins stored in the browser, or personal data readable by anyone who looks. Under UK GDPR, a breach you could have prevented is your responsibility. Our audit checks for exactly these problems, and tells you what to fix first.
