Independent technical review · Version-specific verification

Independent assurance for AI-built software.

AI can help anyone create software. Businesses still need confidence that the software has been professionally inspected. Assurance.Support reviews applications for security, reliability, maintainability, and production readiness.

Every application follows the same path

  1. Submitted
  2. Inspected
  3. Remediated
  4. Verified
  • Reviewed by experienced developers
  • Verification tied to a specific version
  • Clear findings and recommended fixes
  • Public verification record
  • Independent retesting before approval

The trust gap

Anyone can build software now. Proving it is ready for business is different.

AI-assisted development has made software creation dramatically more accessible — and that is a good thing. But when a business decides to rely on an application, it still asks the same hard questions it always has.

Most builders cannot answer these questions with independent evidence. Assurance.Support exists to close that gap: experienced developers inspect the application, findings get fixed, and the result is a public, version-specific verification record.

What business buyers ask

  • Is customer data protected?
  • Are access permissions implemented correctly?
  • Can the application be backed up and restored?
  • Are secrets or credentials exposed?
  • Is the software maintainable by another developer?
  • What happens when an update fails?
  • Has the application been professionally tested?

The process

How verification works

A structured five-step process from submission to a public verification record.

  1. Submit the application

    Tell us about your application, how it is built and deployed, and what you need assurance for. We confirm ownership and arrange secure, read-only access.

  2. Define the assessment scope

    Together we document exactly what will be reviewed: the version, the deployment environment, the components in scope, and anything explicitly excluded.

  3. Independent technical review

    Experienced developers combine automated scanning with manual code review, application testing, and architecture review, then classify every finding by severity.

  4. Remediation and retesting

    You receive a prioritized remediation plan. Once fixes are in place, a reviewer independently retests the application to confirm each finding is resolved.

  5. Receive a verification record

    Applications that meet the standard receive a version-specific verification and a public record. Applications that do not pass receive a detailed remediation report — never a misleading badge.

Applications that do not pass receive a detailed remediation report rather than a misleading badge. Verification is only issued when the application meets the published standard.

Assurance levels

Three levels of assurance, one standard

Choose the depth of review that matches how your application will be used.

Foundation Reviewed

For prototypes, internal tools, and smaller applications.

A structured baseline review that identifies the risks most likely to cause harm in early-stage and internal software.

  • Basic architecture review
  • Secrets and dependency scan
  • Authentication review
  • Backup and logging checks
  • Deployment documentation
  • Major risk identification
Most requested

Business Ready

For applications offered to business customers.

A full production-readiness assessment for software that businesses will rely on, with independent retesting after remediation.

Everything in Foundation Reviewed, plus:

  • Authorization and role testing
  • Database and API review
  • Automated and manual testing
  • Backup and recovery testing
  • Maintainability assessment
  • Deployment and rollback review
  • Security-control verification
  • Remediation and retesting

High Assurance

For sensitive or business-critical applications.

The deepest level of review for applications that handle sensitive data or support critical business operations.

Everything in Business Ready, plus:

  • Threat modeling
  • Penetration testing coordination
  • Detailed audit-log review
  • Encryption and key-management review
  • Disaster-recovery exercise
  • Software bill of materials
  • Load and performance testing
  • Change-control requirements

High Assurance is a rigorous independent technical review. It does not automatically constitute legal or regulatory certification.

What you receive

Four deliverables from every completed assessment

Executive Assurance Report

A plain-language summary for decision makers: what was reviewed, what was found, what was fixed, and the final verification outcome.

Developer Remediation Report

A technical, prioritized breakdown of every finding with severity ratings, affected components, and recommended fixes your team can act on.

Public Verification Record

A permanent public page showing the application, reviewed version, status, scope, conditions, and expiration — checkable by anyone.

Assurance.Support Trust Badge

A version-specific badge that links directly to your public verification record, giving prospective customers one-click proof of independent review.

Status system

A verification status you can check at any time

Every public record carries a clear, current status. Businesses never have to guess whether a badge is still valid.

  • Verified

    Met the standard within the documented scope.

  • Verified with Conditions

    Verified, with ongoing conditions attached.

  • Remediation Required

    Findings must be resolved before verification.

  • Suspended

    Temporarily on hold pending review.

  • Expired

    Past its expiration date; recertification needed.

  • Revoked

    Withdrawn; the badge may no longer be displayed.

Independence is built into the process

Assurance.Support separates remediation work from final verification. When fixes are performed by an associated remediation team, a different reviewer must conduct final retesting and make the verification decision. No one approves their own work.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is Assurance.Support a government certification?

No. Assurance.Support is an independent software-assurance organization. Verification reflects a technical review against our published methodology. It is not a government program, license, or legal certification of any kind.

Does verification guarantee that software has no bugs?

No. No review process can guarantee that software is free from every defect or vulnerability. Verification means experienced developers inspected the application within a documented scope, confirmed that identified issues were remediated, and found it met the Assurance.Support standard at a specific version.

Can AI-generated software qualify?

Yes. How the software was built does not disqualify it. We review the application as it exists: its security controls, reliability, maintainability, and operational readiness. Many well-built AI-assisted applications pass review; the process exists to prove it independently.

What happens if my application does not pass?

You receive a detailed remediation report that classifies each finding by severity and explains what needs to change. Nothing is published without your consent at this stage. Once you have remediated the findings, the application is independently retested. Applications that do not pass never receive a misleading badge.

Does Assurance.Support fix the problems it finds?

Remediation is separate from verification. You can fix findings yourself, hire any developer you choose, or engage an associated remediation team. When an associated team performs fixes, a different reviewer must conduct the final retesting and make the verification decision.

How is reviewer independence maintained?

Reviewers may not hold a financial interest in the applications they review, and remediation work is always separated from the final verification decision. Reviewers who participated in fixing an application are excluded from approving it. Conflicts of interest must be disclosed and result in reassignment.

How long does verification remain valid?

A verification record carries an explicit issue date and expiration date — typically six months from issue. Businesses should always check that a record is active before relying on it. Recertification involves a streamlined re-review of the current version.

What changes require reassessment?

Material changes can invalidate a verification before its expiration date. These include changes to authentication or authorization, new data flows or integrations, significant architectural changes, and changes to the deployment environment. Routine dependency patches and small fixes generally do not, but each record documents its specific conditions.

Is source code kept confidential?

Yes. Reviewers access code through time-limited, read-only credentials under a confidentiality agreement. Code is never shared outside the assigned review team, and access is revoked when the assessment concludes. The public verification record contains no source code — only the application identity, scope, status, and conditions.

Can a verification be revoked?

Yes. Verification can be suspended or revoked if material undisclosed changes are discovered, if conditions attached to the record are not met, or if the badge is misrepresented. The public record always shows the current status, so a revoked verification cannot quietly continue to be displayed as valid.

Does verification mean HIPAA, PCI, SOC 2, or legal compliance?

No. Assurance.Support verification is an independent technical review, not a legal or regulatory certification. It does not establish compliance with HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOC 2, ISO standards, or any law or regulation. Organizations with regulatory obligations should engage the appropriate auditors for those frameworks.

Can businesses request an independent assessment of software they are considering?

Yes. A business evaluating an application can request an assessment, provided the software owner authorizes access. This is a common path: the buyer gains independent evidence, and the builder gains a verification record they can present to future customers.
