A thorough assessment of your GitLab environment — configuration, security, CI/CD, and AI readiness — with a prioritised roadmap of what to fix and in what order.

No commitment. Just a conversation. We reply within one working day.

Most GitLab environments have the same problems. They've just never been looked at.

Versions behind — security patches missing, AI features out of reach
Runners at fixed capacity — pipelines queuing while engineers wait
Security scanning absent or inconsistent
Secrets scoped so broadly any contributor can access production
GitLab Duo licensed, configured nowhere

Sound familiar? The Health Check finds all of it.

A client situation

1,600 engineers. One platform nobody had looked at closely in years.

A large UK public sector research organisation had been running GitLab Community Edition for years. Over 1,600 engineers depended on it daily. The problem was that nobody had looked closely at the platform itself in a long time — and the gap between what they had and what they needed had quietly grown into something significant.

What the Health Check found was a platform under strain. The GitLab instance was several major versions behind current release — meaning security patches hadn't been applied, modern features were unavailable, and the organisation had no access to AI-assisted development capabilities that their licence should have entitled them to. Performance was degrading under load. CI/CD runners were fixed in capacity and couldn't scale to meet demand. Storage limitations were forcing teams to work around the platform rather than with it. Security scanning was largely absent. And critically — secrets and environment variables were scoped so broadly that any repository contributor could access sensitive production configuration.

Across six different engineering teams, the same pattern emerged. Strong technical capability in the teams themselves. An infrastructure that was quietly holding them back.

The result

1,600+ Engineers now with a clear path forward

A prioritised roadmap covering infrastructure, security, access controls, and AI readiness — in the right order, without guesswork.

6 Teams assessed

Same pattern across every team: strong engineers held back by platform infrastructure nobody had reviewed.

Full instance assessment

A complete picture of your GitLab instance — version, configuration, security posture, and performance. No assumptions, no gaps.

CI/CD and pipeline review

Runner capacity, pipeline structure, and where bottlenecks are costing your team time. Practical findings, not theoretical concerns.

Security and AI readiness

Scanning coverage, secrets management, permission scoping — and whether your instance is configured to support GitLab Duo adoption effectively.

Prioritised roadmap

Specific recommendations in the right order, with the reasoning behind each one. Findings walked through with your team before the report is finalised.

Assess

We review your GitLab instance in depth — version, configuration, runner setup, security scanning, access controls, and storage. We also talk to the people using it day to day, not just the administrators.

Analyse

Findings are mapped against current GitLab best practice, your compliance requirements, and your organisation's stated direction — including AI adoption goals. Gaps are prioritised by impact, not just severity.

Report

A clear written report covering what we found, what it means, and what it's costing you in productivity and security exposure. Written for engineering leads and decision makers — not a raw audit log.

Roadmap

A prioritised action plan: what to fix first, what can wait, and what the path forward looks like. Where relevant, we'll indicate which findings point towards Training, Migrations, Upgrades, or Duo Enablement engagements.

Not sure where your GitLab environment stands?

Most organisations that come to us for a Health Check already suspect something isn't right. The review confirms it — and tells you exactly what to do about it.
