Pimcore Audit: Putting your platform to the test

Our audit identifies areas for improvement and provides a clear roadmap for optimising your Pimcore platform.

As a Pimcore Platinum Partner and certified Enterprise Integrator, we identify vulnerabilities, performance issues and untapped potential.

Have you ever experienced the following problems?

Slow performance and malfunctions

Long loading times, limited scalability. Frequent bugs and debugging challenges.

Architectural problems and a lack of flexibility

Your Pimcore installation is too rigid and inflexible. Weaknesses in the system architecture that hinder long-term development. Difficulties in integrating external systems or faulty data flows.

Security risks and low stability

(Un)discovered vulnerabilities and potential security gaps. A lack of updates and upgrades that provide new features and security.

Low uptake and high effort

Your staff are unable to use Pimcore effectively. Day-to-day use is time-consuming and tedious. There is no measurable return on investment.

"Basilicom has provided us with a clear roadmap for the further development of our platform. The audit has given us a clear understanding of our strengths and weaknesses. We were guided through the entire process in a professional and transparent manner."
Thorsten Lipp, CEO Guntermann & Drunck GmbH

Clear results with the Pimcore Audit

Performance and Efficiency

We identify and optimise inefficient processes to improve the overall performance of your Pimcore platform. Loading times are often over 40% faster thanks to targeted optimisations.

Full potential

Our detailed audit report provides you with clear recommendations for action – from code optimisations and backend adjustments to scaling strategies. This enables us to make your Pimcore system future-proof and high-performing.

Customer satisfaction

By improving the user experience and functionality, you can boost customer satisfaction and drive business success. Pimcore can only be a success if your staff enjoy using it.

This is how the audit is carried out

Kick-off & Analysis
At the kick-off meeting, we clarify business objectives, identified pain points and expectations for the audit. We then assess the platform in terms of its architecture, configuration, data model, code quality and security, always against these objectives.
ASSESSMENT & DOCUMENTATION
The audit findings are categorised as high, medium or low priority. They are assessed using a transparent scoring system and explained in our documentation, which serves as a guide for forthcoming actions.
PLANNING & IMPLEMENTATION
The outcome of the audit is a report covering the technical setup, business-critical functionalities, code reviews and recommendations for action, with a view to establishing realistic estimates and expectations.

And after the audit?

The audit report serves as a roadmap. Critical issues are scheduled for immediate implementation, whilst all other matters are prioritised according to their impact and budget.

When it comes to stability, our Client Services team takes care of maintenance, operations and support, with a Service Level Agreement if required. If the report highlights structural issues, such as an upgrade or a missing interface, this becomes a project with the Solutions team. Both approaches can be combined.

The Platform State Score shows how the platform has improved following each optimisation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a Pimcore audit cost?

The cost depends on the size of the installation and the scope of the inspection. Following a free initial consultation, you will receive a binding quote before work begins. This way, you’ll know in advance what to expect.

How long does a Pimcore audit take?

The audit itself usually takes two to three weeks. Once the quotation has been approved, there is a lead time before the team – comprising a certified Pimcore expert and a digital consultant – can get started.

Do you need access to our system to do this?

Yes, we need access to the platform and its environment. Specifically, this includes: access to the development environment and the repository, insight into the CI environment, a dump of the database and file system, access to hosting and tracking tools, and the existing documentation on interfaces and surrounding systems. In addition, there will be a 30-minute kick-off meeting to address any technical queries. Upon request, we will sign a confidentiality agreement in advance. Basilicom is CISIS12-certified.

What does the audit report say?

The report includes an assessment of the technical setup, an overview of business-critical functionalities, a review of the code against Pimcore best practices, and specific recommendations for action. All findings are classified as high, medium or low priority and accompanied by an assessment of how they can be resolved. In addition, the Platform State Score provides a single metric reflecting the criticality and complexity of your platform. The report thus serves as the basis for any further Pimcore optimisation.

Is it worth carrying out an audit before changing agencies?

Always – that’s the typical scenario. The audit is our standard process for platform acquisitions: we gain an overview of code quality, architecture, security and the level of maintenance, and identify problems and their root causes before operational work begins. On this basis, we can realistically estimate the effort required for maintenance, operation and enhancements, rather than relying on assumptions.
