A. Fix in place
Central tenant scoping and integration alerting within the current architecture. Least disruption; leaves the migration unplanned.
Illustrative sample
What a Platform & Integration Review report looks like
A fictional company and platform, written up the way a real review is: what was assumed, what was found, what could go wrong, the options, and what to do next.
Illustrative sample — not a client engagement. The company, platform and details below are invented to show the structure of the report. Nothing here describes a real client, system or result.
Executive summary
Example Scheduling Co. (fictional) runs a multi-tenant scheduling SaaS for clinics. Releases have slowed, two integrations fail silently from time to time, and a move from one database to per-region hosting is planned for next year.
The core of the platform is sound. Three things need attention before the regional move: tenant isolation depends on application code alone, integration failures are not visible to anyone who can act on them, and the move itself has no data-migration plan. The recommendation is to fix isolation and integration visibility first, then plan the migration as a separate piece of work.
Assumptions and evidence limits
- Based on architecture documents, a read-only code walkthrough and interviews with the team; no production access was used.
- No penetration test or load test was performed. The findings are not a security certification.
- Operational details are as described by the (fictional) team and were not independently measured.
Findings
Tenant isolation relies on every query remembering a filter
Tenant scoping is applied query by query in application code. One missed filter would expose another tenant’s records, and no database-level safeguard or automated test would catch it.
Integration failures are logged but not surfaced
Calendar and payment webhooks retry silently and then stop. Failures reach a log nobody watches, so support hears about them from customers.
The regional hosting plan has no data plan
The move to per-region hosting has a target date, but data residency, migration order and rollback have not been defined.
Releases slow down where modules share tables
Three modules write to the same scheduling tables, so small changes need coordinated releases and wider testing.
Risk register
| Risk | Likelihood | Impact | Recommended response |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cross-tenant data exposure from a missed filter | Medium | High | Enforce tenant scope centrally and add a test that fails on unscoped queries. |
| Integration failures nobody sees | High | Medium | Alert when retries are exhausted and show integration health to support. |
| Regional migration without a rollback path | Medium | High | Plan data mapping, reconciliation, cutover and rollback before fixing a date. |
| Coupled modules slowing releases | High | Low | Give each module ownership of its tables and route cross-module changes through events. |
Options and trade-offs
Recommended next steps
- Enforce tenant scoping centrally and add the failing-query test.
- Alert on exhausted integration retries and give support an integration-health view.
- Agree a separate migration-planning scope before committing to a date for regional hosting.
- Review progress against this register once the first two changes are live.

Send me a message →Is this a real client report?
No. It is an illustrative sample built on a fictional company, to show the structure of the deliverable. It does not describe a client, a system or a result.
How is a real review different?
A real review is written about your platform, from your documents, code walkthrough and interviews, and its findings, risks and recommendations are specific to your system and priorities.
Does a review include penetration testing or a migration plan?
No. Penetration testing is not included, and a detailed migration plan is a separate, optional scope. The review gives high-level migration recommendations where relevant.
