Assessments

Find the gaps before they become incidents.

Q: What assessments does 10decoders offer, and are they free?

Assessment offerings span the practice areas—including a free codebase assessment for modernization and a QA maturity assessment for quality engineering—each designed to produce an evidence-based deliverable (documentation, risk heatmap, or gap analysis) without requiring a paid commitment upfront.

Q: What do we need to provide to get an assessment done?

Typically read-only access to relevant material—a codebase repository, architecture documentation, or QA process artifacts, depending on the assessment type—with data access scoped narrowly to what's needed for that specific review.

Q: Does completing an assessment obligate us to a paid engagement?

No—assessments are positioned as a standalone, evidence-based deliverable the client can use with or without proceeding to a paid project, though naturally they're also the basis for a scoped proposal if the client chooses to move forward.

Short, structured readiness assessments built for mid-market healthcare and fintech teams. Answer a focused set of questions, get a scored view of where you stand, and leave with a prioritized action list — not a sales pitch.

Healthcare

HIPAA Compliance Readiness

Gauge how prepared your product and data pipeline are against HIPAA privacy and security safeguards — before an audit or a client questionnaire forces the issue.

Administrative, physical & technical safeguards
PHI handling, access controls & audit logging
Breach-response and BAA readiness gaps

Leave with a prioritized, plain-English action list. Want help closing the gaps? A Clarity Sprint turns it into a plan.

FAQ

Assessments, answered.

Common questions about what we assess, how long it takes, and what to expect.

What assessments does 10decoders offer, and are they free?

Assessment offerings span the practice areas — including a free codebase assessment for modernization and a QA maturity assessment for quality engineering — each designed to produce an evidence-based deliverable (documentation, risk heatmap, or gap analysis) without requiring a paid commitment upfront.

How long does an assessment typically take to complete?

Timelines vary by assessment type and system complexity, but they are generally designed to run in days to a few weeks rather than months, since the goal is a fast, evidence-based starting point rather than a lengthy audit.

What do we need to provide to get an assessment done?

Typically read-only access to relevant material — a codebase repository, architecture documentation, or QA process artifacts, depending on the assessment type — with data access scoped narrowly to what's needed for that specific review.

Does completing an assessment obligate us to a paid engagement?
