Why we started
Software is quicker to build than ever. Checking it has not caught up.
An application that once took months can now be working in days. A booking system, a customer portal or an internal tool can be put together by a contractor, a member of staff or the owner, often with AI writing much of the code.
What gets left out is the slower work. Testing it the way customers will use it is often skipped, and so is checking whether it can be made to reveal data by a malicious party. Once it is live, updates and backups tend to slip. The faults sit on the paths nobody tried, and they appear when customers are already relying on it.
Prominent firms that specialise in testing and security are set up for banks, government departments and large companies, with budgets and timescales to match. For smaller, in-house projects, organisations often have nobody to ask.
Adaptive Systems was started to serve organisations in this position, with testing and security reviews sized for smaller New Zealand organisations. When we build software, the same checks are part of it from the start.
