SaaS Architecture Review
An independent audit of a live SaaS: what is sound, what is at risk, and what to fix first.
Find the risks before your customers do.
BitsSolved is a software studio in Tamil Nadu, India that runs independent SaaS architecture reviews for founders and CTOs, ranking security, data, infrastructure and scaling risks and giving a plan to fix them. A SaaS that grew fast carries decisions made under pressure: tenancy, access control, backups, deploys. Most of them hold. A few will fail at the worst moment, and nobody on the team has time to look.
You may need a review if
- An enterprise buyer sent a security questionnaire you cannot answer with confidence
- The same production incident keeps coming back
- Nobody has tested restoring a backup
- One engineer understands the deploy, and they are busy
- Technical due diligence is coming with a raise or a sale
- The cloud bill grows faster than the customer count
What the engagement includes.
A ranked findings report
Each finding with its severity, why it matters to the business and the recommended fix, in the order to do them.
What is working
The parts that are sound, written down, so nobody spends money rebuilding them.
A remediation plan
Fixes grouped into phases your team can schedule, with quick wins apart from structural work.
A walkthrough
A session on the findings with you and, where you want it, your developers.

Teams facing a buyer or investor review
Questionnaires and due diligence go better when the weak spots are known first.
The first call is free and is mostly us asking questions.
Your existing development team stays in place. The review works alongside them.
The questions a review asks, on our own platform.
The HR Platform is a multi-tenant product BitsSolved is building. These are the decisions a review checks first: who may act on whose data, and whether the history can be trusted.
- Status
- In development, not publicly available
- Sector
- HR and workforce operations
- Architecture
- Multi-tenant, one approval engine
- Built by
- BitsSolved, in house
Authorise the subject, never trust the request
Every action names the employee it concerns, and the platform resolves whether the caller may act on that employee rather than accepting the identifier the request supplied. It sounds pedantic until you notice that the alternative lets anybody file a record against anybody. The same principle puts the tenant in the signed token rather than in the hostname, so a request cannot reach into another employer by asking nicely.
An audit entry written in the same transaction
The history is committed with the change rather than logged after it. A record that exists therefore has a trail by construction, and there is no failure mode where the change lands and the history does not.
