Technology assessment
Cloud and DevOps maturity audit
A defined assessment to turn uncertainty into an ordered set of decisions.
Who this helps
Organisations whose delivery speed or operating risk is limited by pipelines, environments and platform practices.
The decision it supports
Which platform and delivery changes unlock safer, faster change.
Within the agreed boundary
We examine the systems, records, processes and operating practices inside the scope you approve before work starts. Access and data-handling terms are agreed first.
How the assessment runs
Discovery
Confirm objectives, boundary, stakeholders and available evidence.
Review
Inspect configurations, interfaces, data or operating practice within scope.
Analysis
Prioritise findings by business impact and effort.
Readout
Walk through the report and remediation plan with your team (two hours).
What you receive
Pipeline and release-process assessment
Reviews how change moves from commit to production.
Infrastructure-as-code coverage and drift analysis
Checks how much of the estate is defined as code and where drift accumulates.
Environment parity and secrets handling review
Examines environment differences and how secrets are managed.
DORA baseline where data exists (deploy frequency, lead time, change-failure rate, MTTR)
Baselines delivery performance metrics where evidence is available.
Resilience, backup and DR verification
Checks recovery assumptions against what is actually tested.
Access and security posture
Reviews access patterns and operating security practice within scope.
Prioritised remediation plan with effort estimates
Orders remediation by impact and effort for planning.
Access and participation
A named decision owner, an agreed system boundary, relevant documentation and approved access. Stakeholder time for interviews and the readout is required. We agree data handling and confidentiality before reviewing client information.
Assumptions that affect duration and price
The published duration is indicative. Estate size, access delays and stakeholder availability can change the calendar. The fee and completion date are confirmed in writing before work begins — they are not the same as the indicative day count.
What is excluded
This is a technical assessment, not a legal opinion or a compliance certification. It does not include remediation build unless you commission that separately.
After the findings
Findings are prioritised by business impact and effort. You can use them with your internal team, another partner or Nervescape. The next step is your decision.
Start with clarity.
