Identify quality issues, vulnerabilities, technical debt, dependency risk, and maintainability concerns before they affect the deal.
PE, VC & M&A Teams
Understand code risk, software value, and production readiness before the deal is done.
Software is now a core asset in many deals, but traditional technical due diligence can be slow, expensive, and too late. The Code Registry provides rapid, objective insight into code quality, security risk, open-source exposure, technical debt, maintainability, and cost to replicate — helping deal teams reduce surprises and make better decisions.
Code risk can become deal risk.
By the time serious code issues are discovered, valuation, deal confidence, and post-acquisition plans may already be under pressure. Investment teams need a faster, clearer way to understand the software asset behind the business.
Assess software risk quickly
Understand software asset value
Use cost-to-replicate analysis to estimate what the codebase could cost to rebuild and how complexity or open-source usage may affect value.
Support better deal decisions
Create clear, diligence-ready outputs for investors, buyers, advisors, boards, and portfolio leaders.
Accelerate technical due diligence with automated code reports.
The Code Registry helps investment and M&A teams assess software assets faster. Instead of relying only on manual review or management claims, you get structured analysis across code quality, security, technical debt, dependencies, complexity, and maintainability.
Identify security and dependency risk.
A critical part of software due diligence is understanding potential risk. The Code Registry scans the codebase and third-party dependencies to identify vulnerabilities, outdated packages, open-source exposure, and other risk indicators that could affect the business after the deal.
Estimate cost to replicate the codebase.
The Code Registry’s cost-to-replicate valuation helps estimate what it could cost to rebuild the software asset today. It takes into account custom code, open-source components, languages, complexity, and code quality to provide a clearer valuation benchmark.
Plan post-deal remediation with clearer priorities.
Due diligence should not only identify risk; it should help teams understand what to do next. The Code Registry helps surface the issues that may require remediation, modernization, security improvement, or ongoing monitoring after investment or acquisition.
Frequently Asked Questions
How secure will my code be with The Code Registry?
The minute you sign-up to The Code Registry and sync your code we encrypt your code repositary at ‘rest’. What this means is that we secure all of your code and data, ensuring that only those with the encryption key can access them. This prevents data leakage, unauthorized access, and physical theft. We also never publicise who we work with meaning it is almost impossible to associate an encrypted vault with a particularly business or project.
How easy is it to get started?
Getting up and running can be done in under 10mins. All you need is a payment method to enter your dashboard and then either a link to github (where most codebases are stored) or an external Zip folder of your code. If at any point you’re not sure then you can use your minimum 1 hour support from our customer success team to help you get up and running.
How do I know how many Code Repositories I have?
It’s absolutely fine if you don’t know. Simply sign-up for our individual tier and if you do need to upgrade it can be done instantly. However this is information your development partner or team will be able to answer instantly.
Will I need help from my Development Partner / Team?
The whole idea behind The Code Registry is that we are independent from your development team. That being said its likely you don’t have your own Github user with access to your Code Repositories, so during the onboarding you will probably need to use our platform to request access. Once this is done, we take care of everything else. So the reliance on your development team is zero after the initial replication has successfully ran.
Can I cancel my subscription at any time?
All of The Code Registry’s subscriptions are based on a 12-month minimum term. This is because the real power in our platform is around the long-term change analysis. If you decide during your initial 12-month term that you wish to cancel then we will mark your subscription not to auto-renew.
Do you plan on adding more features in the future?
The Code Registry is on a mission to empower non-developers to have a greater knowledge of their code in order to better plan and execute their development roadmap. This means we will constantly be adding new features as they are suggested by our trusted community of Business Owners, Ecommerce professionals, product owners, project managers, investors and IP lawyers.
