Bug Fixing & Security Updates
Fast, senior-led triage and remediation for production bugs, security vulnerabilities, and dependency risks. Root-cause analysis and permanent fixes rather than surface-level patches, with automated regression tests to make sure the same bug never returns.

FAQs
Bug Fixes & Security, answered
Can you triage a critical production bug today?+
For emergency retainer clients: within the hour. For new clients: same-day response depending on capacity. Book a call and we will tell you honestly whether we can get on it today.
Do you work with codebases you did not write?+
Yes. Most emergency and remediation work is on legacy or inherited code. We handle any modern stack, and we are happy to work on older PHP, Ruby, Python, .NET, or JavaScript codebases too.
What is your response time on emergencies?+
Enterprise emergency retainer: 1-hour response, 4-hour first patch target. Standard retainer: 4-hour response during business hours. One-off emergency: same-day where possible, honest about capacity otherwise.
Do you handle security incident response?+
Yes. Breach containment, forensic analysis, patching, post-incident review, and stakeholder communication support are all part of our incident response service. We work with legal and comms teams as needed.
Can you remediate pen test findings?+
Yes. Third-party penetration test reports are a common trigger for engaging us. We work through findings in severity order, remediate with permanent fixes, add regression tests, and provide re-test-ready code.
How do you prevent the same bug from recurring?+
Every bug fix ships with an automated regression test that would have caught the bug before it reached production. Over time this builds a suite that protects the whole codebase against known failure modes.
Do you monitor for new CVEs on our dependencies?+
Yes. Under a maintenance retainer we run automated dependency scanning (GitHub Dependabot, Snyk, or similar) and triage every new CVE against your codebase. Critical vulnerabilities get patched within days, not months.
What retainer options do you offer for ongoing security?+
Standard maintenance covers CVE monitoring and patching. Enterprise security retainers add quarterly penetration testing, threat modelling for new features, and 24/7 incident response. Quoted based on your specific risk profile.
